  I have been teaching keyboarding skills to elementary students for 4 years. This product really has made a difference in the time it takes them to master typing. The kids like it so much many ask where they can buy one to use at home.
  
  

• 5-STARS!! AMENDMENT to: Program Good, Skin Does NOT Fit All Keyboards

  
  By AQ6M7CBQ6OQLT on 2007-12-14
  FIVE STARS for SPEED SKIN!!!
  SINCE WRITING THIS REVIEW, DEE AT SPEED SKIN HAS CONTACTED ME!!! :) We all know the frustration we feel when a company's product doesn't meet our needs and when the company doesn't respond to our requests for a replacement or refund. That's what I THOUGHT had happened here after I realized the speed skin I bought didn't fit my laptop keys and I could get no response from Amazon or Speed Skin. Apparently, though, there was a hiccup in the phone line when I contacted Speed Skin regarding the skin that didn't fit my laptop, and they couldn't hear my message clearly, nor could they understand what I said my telephone number was. It took them some time to find my telephone number (I didn't order this program from them directly, but from Amazon) but they DID contact me and were VERY apologetic and accomodating. They are sending me a free Speed Skin cover for my particular laptop. Dee was EXCEPTIONALLY desirous to make sure I was happy and that I did not feel her delay in reaching me was due to a disregard for my satisfaction. Quite frankly, after speaking to her, I must say I cannot remember EVER having been treated with such sincere COURTESY by any company in the past! My confidence in this company has been restored!!
  
  The original review is below, minus the mix-up regarding the Speed Skin.
  
  This CD-ROM has been helpful to me as an adult boning up on my touch typing skills. It has been years since I actually used all my fingers to type, years since I typed without looking down at the keyboard at all--and I DO type faster doing it the "wrong" way at this point, but only at 45 WPM. I know if I can learn to touch type well, I can be a much faster typist and type from copy a LOT more accurately and quickly because I will know where the keys are without peeking at them and losing my place on the copy I'm trying to type. I can see how this CD has been helpful to me in touch typing faster and more accurately. I went from 13 words a minute touch typing with the program to 30 WPM in three quick lessons. I am now on lesson five and it has been very enjoyable. I like how the program not only times my typing and gives me an accuracy reading, I can also make it "satellite" into other programs on my laptop (like email and Microsoft Works/Word) to get readings from my typing there too...the program itself, in my experience, has been helpful and is pleasant to use.

  This program ensures that anyone can learn to type WITHOUT sneaking a peak at the keys! Highly recommended.

  I've been typing the wrong way for 5 years now, and this program really helped me break the habit. It also works great on laptops. With this program you will not want to look at your keyboard (which was also a bad habit of mine), it just forces you to keep your eyes on the monitor, I don't even use the skin on my laptop. Great product, I definetly recommend it.

  This product is absolulely amazing. With the skin to cover the keys, I'm not even tempted to peek anymore, and it helps me concentrate better. I can't believe how much progress I've made so far!. There's even a little satellite that monitors your typing in all other applications and then tailors the exersizes specifically for you! A five star product at a very low price. I'd recommend it to anyone, you or old.

• The perfect and best typing program!
  By A3A1ITMUTDL8YA on 2007-12-13
  ***UPDATE*** No longer the best. Was the best though.
  
  This is the best typing program you could ask for. It lets you choose your lesson and youre able to go anywhere in the program whenever you want. This is good for reviewing parts that youre not ready to go past yet. Everything is set up how it should be, i've been learning very quick from this program. It's literally 10 times better than mavis beacon which is a piece of krap. Mavis beacon makes you start from the beginning, and will not let you go back or review lessons, also the design and format are very poor, the word for it is "garbagey". All other programs I've tried have come way short of this one too.

• Great Product!
  By A3OWE73C5I7O3V on 2007-10-10
  Was worried initially, but pleasantly surprised to find that it was exceptional and simple to use. You may or may not need the latex keyboard cover depending on if you have ever taken typing or not. I had taken typingclasses but my short sightedness led me to quit prematurely. Better than a live class since you can review endlessly if there are keys that are particularly difficult. Anyway, great buy and no problems installing it either :) Recommended for sure!!
  
  
• The skin is the best - hide those keys!
  By A1DLELKT6OB0AP on 2007-10-09
  I would recommend this program to anyone wanting to increase their typing speed.
  The games and practice are fun... You are learning to type faster before you even notice it...
  The skin that lays over the keys is durable and absolutely necessary - and very scary at first for someone like myself that looks at the keys... but that's the point - hide those keys!!!
  
  
• Excellent Program
  By A1EYPW7RH87TV9 on 2008-06-10
  Can't cheat with this one. I am bad about searching for keys by looking, but the skin prevents that (and aggravates everyone in my family who still uses the hunt and peck method.) This program gives you plenty of feedback and advice. I think the drills are well done. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a typing tutor.

• It is a good software
  By AQDPT4OBMVCA5 on 2008-09-08
  I bought it for my kids 9 and 11. My 11 year old liked it but my 9 year old thought that the exercies were too hard and activities are not fun. He likes his sponge bob typing cd better.
  
  
• Easy to use on my laptop and just takes devotion.
  By A1XMDCDWXQTB5V on 2008-04-03
  If you truly desire to learn how to type in the comfort of your home and can supply your own discipline to stay at it, this is a great program. I was very quick pecking at the keys, but now I'm gaining speed for that 'Great American Novel' that's just itching to be written. ;)
