Typing Master Express Review
My fingers are flying... with Typing Master Express. And yours?
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Many tabs, ability to choose lesson you want, many games, satellite, five keyboard layouts and more!
No Russian layout and... I don't know
Well, well, well. My fingers aren't flying, so I try many typing tutors to teach them (fingers). So, when I saw Typing Master Express, I thought: "Can it help my fingers?".
I like installers that allow you to choose many options. T.M.E. is this one. It suggest you to choose, whether you are teacher or single user, whether you are English, Spanish, German, French or Swedish. I am Ukrainian, so I'd like to learn English :).
After installing demo I expected for nothing unusual, like many others tutors. But I thought wrong. When program had opened, it suggested to create new user. It's better than to mix my statistics with brother's, mother's, grandmother's ones. Also in this screen you can enter your serial number -- no need for opening Help->About->Register and so on.
I called my user Dmytron. There are many tabs -- not like other tutors.
Tab "Course". There are many lessons to learn -- twelve, and each lesson has seven or six parts. I don't wan't to learn A S D F -- my fingers know this letters, so I can directly go to Word Drill or even to lesson 2. Each lessons helps you to become familiar with next letters (keys on the keyboard). So in one lesson you learn new letters, execute word, paragraph, sentence and text drill. I will learn it!
Tab "Review". If your typing A B or C D is bad, you can choose your favourite :) letters and go ahead. Type its again, and again, and again, and ... And you cannot make mistakes on this letters anymore :).
Tab "Typing Test". Type some text (about baseball, or insects, or Yosemite) in limited time. So: 1) your typing becomes better; 2) you read tales and jokes :).
Tab "Games". Are you tired? Play games (!) in what you should type words (oh no). IMHO games are easy and interesting. Play word tetris please.
Tab "Statistics". Here you can see your typing speed and accuracy, even to print your progress report.
Tab "Satellite" (not space one). When you launch Windows, satellite launches and analyzes your typing in others programs. I've never seen this functions in other typing tutors.
Also you can change settings. Sounds on/off, speed unit WPM/KPM, windowed/full screen. Information: help (online), internet links (online), name of your user (offline :)).
So T.M.E. is great, not bad. I induce you to buy it (or, if you avaricious, to download demo). If you'll bore with this, play games, if not, type, type and type. I'll say goodbye, because I will learn my fingers to fly. Goodbye!
P.S. I've forgot to tell about four great courses.
Good for everybody, even for me :)
