I have been practicing diligently with this program for about two weeks. I have improved my typing speed by about 15 wpm in that time, from about 35wpm to 50 wpm. I think the main factor that has helped my speed is practicing the exercises that have taught me to touch type the numbers at the top of the keyboard, and the symbols at the top, bottom and far right side of the keyboard. I was already mostly doing that with the letters of the alphabet, but I had never learned to touch type the numbers and symbols (except very common ones, like the comma and period). It's so nice to be able to type without constantly looking down. This program gives a lot of practice options that I believe will keep most people engaged. Of course, you have to practice to make it work, but I can definitely say, based on my results, that if you do practice your typing will improve. Additionally, the program has training exercises to teach you to touch type ten key (the numbers on the far right of your keyboard). I have never been able to do that, until now. Improving my typing is my priority, so I spend most of my time on that, but I have been spending a little time on learning the ten key, and that is improving daily as well.
I used to work at a temporary staffing agency, and so many people would come and apply for clerical work, thinking that because they could use personal email and search the internet that they could work as administrative assistants. Often the typing speed was very low, and data entry as well. We had training programs that they could use to learn software programs like MS Word and Excel, but we did not have anything to use for typing practice. Too bad. If I worked there again, I would tell everyone who needed to improve to just buy this inexpensive teaching program.
