Review:

Typing Master Express is good for people who wanted to learn the basics of touch-typing. This is also good for students and also beginners in using a computer. This can be also used by the teachers as a study material.

Price is cheap and affordable. But enhancements must be applied especially the software's layout. As our world embrace flash era, it's better to have this.

I enumerate some things to develop and help the developers and producers to improve there software:

1. As I start to Step 1 Course and I didn't click any lesson in the list, the Cancel button must not have the same function as the Change course button. Cancel button must go back to the Choose Course page and then Step 1 is selected.
2. It's better to change the 'Course Contents' name to 'Go back to Lessons'. For me, its much clearer because the title of that page is LESSONS.
3. It's good if the 'Adjust course duration' link is removed. 'Course contents' and 'Adjust course duration' links have the same destination once they've clicked. This scenario is called Redundancy.
4. There must be only 1 instead of two 'x' buttons. They have the same function and serves to close the entire software. This is another redundancy.
5. Once the user clicked the 'c' button to close Typing Master, there must be a warning message if the user wants to leave or not.
6. When the user types, there must be a sound effect like typing on a keyboard.
7. This software is very good for first timers in using computers. People who knows how to use computers but wanted to learn how to use the touch typing standards will get bored.
8. Simplicity is not only the basic tool to catch the user's attention and willingness in using Typing Master.The entire layout of this software must be presentable. Because flash is well-known today, developers must add little flash objects in some part of the software.
9. It's better if it has little exciting games. It can gave an aid to be more efficient and effective for learners like kids.

Conclusion:

Typing Master Express is good for beginners especially kids who wanted to learn basic typing skills. But the software has some complicated details that kids cannot understand. But this is very good for teachers in using it as an aid in their teaching.
