Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Ballet dancing, juggling, pole vaulting--these are activities best learned as a child. Touch typing, however, is not a skill that requires early practice. It makes no difference what age you begin, as long as you've got the motivation and the proper teacher. Thanks to the Mavis Beacon programs, adults and children alike have been able to learn to type for years now without having to suffer droning public instruction. And with each new version of the software, the program's sophisticated personalization features keep enhancing the sense that you have your own private coach egging you to challenge yourself and improve quickly.

Take the practice test for starters and Mavis eerily pinpoints your exact weak spots. She then offers a program of exercises to target those specific areas. Choose to ignore her plans, and you can go play one of eight distinct activities in the Games area or fool around watching videos in the Media Center. Soon, however, you'll find those initial weaknesses Mavis diagnosed tripping you up again and again, whether you're playing the hilarious Chameleon Picnic game or wandering into the Media Center to transcribe The Owl and the Pussycat. Eventually, when you settle in to do the meaningful practice work here, as everyone does, you'll find you progress surprisingly quickly because it's so perfectly individualized, everything from the keys you're hitting to the background soundtrack. Mavis certainly knows there's nothing like success to breed increased motivation for work. And she knows there's really no shortcut for the work. To keep you securely on track, this new version of the software puts a "personal coach" icon on your Windows task bar, allowing you immediate access to a speed gauge and finger-position table you can use in whichever software program you're working. It's also got a pop-up session scheduler that reminds you to practice daily and take rest breaks to relieve typing stress.

The Mavis Beacon plan asks that you spend just 15 minutes a day practicing your rhythm, speed, accuracy, and 10-key skills, and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you don't see satisfactory progress when you follow that plan. To add to the allure, this version of the program is bundled with Address Book 7.0, a fine utility in its own right. --Jean Lenihan

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Crashes constantly and I lose the lesson--Do Not Buy it!
I bought the top of the line version for $39 and am extremely
disappointed. The nusance crash and it's reboot of my system
makes this product worthless. Do not buy it!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brought My Typing Speed UP
The Meaves Beacon typing is a very good typing program. It brought my typing up in a very fast time. You should try it if you are interested in improving accuracy and speed. This will help you a lot!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Crashes
I have bought two of Mavis Beacon software, and both of them crashes all the time. It is impossible to go from one level to the next one! Also, the manufactures don't offer fixes for these problems. Don't buy it!

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing version 11 (Windows/98/95/NT)
I have had nothing but trouble. Installation, program sound, no WEB tech support, some parts can not be uninstalled. It is a good Ideal--just spread too wide. I can run 98/95. Not NT. Trying to cover so much has reduced the performance. I thought I was buying just98/95. NT does not run on this old PC. I'm disappointed.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Superficial upgrades make MB 11 less useful than it should b
At 42 it seemed time to finally sit down and learn how to type properly. I've been seeing Mavis Beacon recommended for years (I first started using a PC in 82) so it was the natural place to start. I'm only part of the way through, but so far I'm dissappointed. The basic engine looks like it hasn't been updated in a decade, and the resolution of the letters is so poor that i,l and 1 are almost indistinguishable. There are a number of later add-ons, like games, but they come with no instructions ... Read More
