Software Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 17 Standard

Domain Name Com's - Software : Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 17 Standard


  

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - OK with some irritating flaws
I've been using Mavis Beacon since 1993 and although this version is ok it still has the same irritating flaws that all the other iterations had.

First the good news. It doesn't freeze as much anymore.

The bad news. (1) It uses the United Kingdom spelling for a lot of words as opposed to U.S. English. (2) It still uses single space after the period. There is an option for using two spaces after the period but that option does not work in the lessons. (3) It is very inflexible. If you make a mistake where you only type four letters of a five letter word, all the subsequent typing can be correct but it will all be marked wrong because of that missed space. (4) There is an option to backspace and correct an error, but it will all be counted as an error anyway, even though your time suffered already from backspacing and correcting. (5) During the transcription lessons, the voice will stop at the end of a phrase but will not go on, unless you look at the hands and type the next few letters that the hands will show you are supposed to type. Hitting the repeat button will only repeat the last phrase that you've already typed.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Better than the old one
I loved this version! I learned all the keys so fast! In fact, right now I am typing the correct way:0! The games are fun and they show a key board at the bottom of the screen which is very helpful!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Second Chance
I purchased Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 17 Standard with some apprehension. I owned Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 12 on a previous computer, and the screen froze so many times I gave up trying to use it. So why purchase another Broderbund product?
After researching other typing software, I found that every product had it's share of complaints. I knew Mavis Beacon was very user friendly when it worked, so I gave Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 17 the benefit of the doubt and bought it. So far I'm very happy with it, and it's even better than what I was hoping it would be.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great typing teacher
Excellent software for a beginner. I was concerned about prior reviews regarding compatibility with windows XP sp2 but installation went without a hitch. Am on my way to typing like a professional without pecking on the keyboard as I used to.
