Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mavis Beacon strikes again!!
She's good, consistent, and always supportive. Mavis Beacon has been around for years and she is still the best one out there. I haven't gotten far in the software, but, already, I am typing without looking down! Crazy!! There are time trials and other fun games. All of this reflects on your score and you can print out a certificate afterwards. This is perfect for anyone who wants to brush up on their typing skills with a little fun and challenge mixed in.
