Review:

Overall, using Typing Master Express is a pretty good experience. However, the overal production quality of the pgoram is severly hindered by the lack of good graphics and the overuse of teh user having to read.

Typing Master Express's idea of a lesson is to have the user read a a few pages. More than a few lessons are made up in this format.

The program helped me increase my typing speed by 5 GWAM (gross words a minute; which factors in mistakes and such), which is a plus. I fell that this gain could be even greater for someone else, as I began with a GWAM of around 65. I am a pretty good typer, and this program may just be under my level. Perhaps for a lower levl typist, it would be a great program.

Conclusion:

To get to the point, if you're looking for a good typing app, Typing Master Express is a good choice. If you're looking for some eye candy, look elsehwere.
