Interesting. I had not heard of this program before now. Perhaps it wasn't around when I was learning to type in 2004 or the Quota funds prevented the school from wanting to buy anything else. I may investigate this software to hone my own typing skills or to teach some of the younger kids in my area.—CN

I really love the Talking Typing Teacher from Marvelsoft. It is much more interactive than the APH talking typer and provides much better feedback about how you are doing. It is available here: http://www.braillebookstore.com/Talking-Typing-Teacher.1
