[Trainer-Talk] accessible typing programs

[Brett Boyer]

Thank you folks. I miss-spoke the program we are using is in fact "talking
typing teacher."
Typability seems like it might be worth looking in to.
I do like the idea of basic screen reading / navigation commands as part of
the lessons. Not to mention getting used to eloquence. I get a lot of
complaints about the voices in TTT. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

I agree with Typeability. I like how it helps the user get use to the
elequince  voice.

I would second the TypeAbility suggestion. I know it requires JAWS but we
switched to it from Talking Typing Teacher and have seen much better
results. The lessons are far smaller and easier to repeat for fluency. There
are also lessons that teach/reinforce basic text navigation and other
important screen reader skills. I use it to preteach those skills before
clients begin formal instruction using a computer.

If you are using JAWS you can use Typability. Another program I like is
Talking Typing Teacher.
