Re: [Trainer-talk] Typing Programs






We currently using MarvelSoft's Talking Typing Teacher. I agree that their
customer service leaves much to be desired, but it's the best program 
we've
found to work with multiple keyboarders, and the speech output is superior
to that of Talking Typer. One of the biggest challenges with TTT is that 
it
freezes up frequently. Here's a tip: it's important to wait for the audio
file to finish running (in other words, wait until the computer stops
talking) before assigning lessons. TTT seems to have difficulties with
multitasking functions.
