Mavis Beacon Typing Course [Posted on 2008-01-21] This course is really easy and fun to use and my typing speed and accuracy has started to improve almost immediately!
Helps with school classes [Posted on 2008-02-19] Purchased this for my child who was struggling with "typing skills" in a middle school technology class. We've been practicing with Mavis every day and noticing improvement which gives my student great encouragement and confidence to continue on!
Is a Pain! [Posted on 2008-02-23] Just look for another product. But if you like to waste time,like make it run. This make it extremly bad.
Don't Buy This If You're Just Learning To Type [Posted on 2008-03-21] This is a terrible product. The navigation is awful. If you repeat lessons over, it will count them as if you took additional new learning lessons and then skip over those lessons it thinks you took when you were practicing old lessons over. Once it has "advanced" you to a new level, whether you took the lessons or not, there is no going back. The only way to get to the lessons it skipped over is to start over from the beginning again. If you need more practice that it allows before advancing you, you will be miserable with this product and the lack of ability to navigate and go back and repeat lessons. I wasted my money on this and am now searching for another typing program that is better, more flexible, and less frustrating to use.
fantastic product [Posted on 2008-04-15] This is truly a fantastic product. I paid little attention to typing class in high school, and, hence, took very little from it. I know that what I'm about to say sounds rather infomercial-ish, but it's with Mavis Beacon that I really learned how to type. Now, for those that cannot type as of yet, it needs to be said that speed is something that comes with time (as with most other things). Mavis Beacon does help you get there, only as long as you're consistent with using the program.
There's really not much else I can say. The program is great and also lots of fun to use.
