 Great product but needs some flexibility, 2005-09-03
I picked this up in a bargain bin, and now would have paid more. I was surprised that this SW enabled me to quickly unlearn bad pecking habits.
I'd like to see more utilities to review my progress and an option to work on weak keys (still having trouble with g and h!)--Broderbund--listen up!
Not sure if this is really a four star since I have not tried other typing programs.

 Defective Software, 2003-10-19
Like the other reviewer Mavis Beacon 12 froze at the last beginner lesson. Rather than mess around with this obviously defective product I'm trying another developers'. My computer is an IBM T40 running the latest version of XT Professional.

If you started with mavis 5 and your still buying them through mavis 12, maybe you should just give up on learning to type....

Freezes Beginners Out, 2002-09-20
This program is set to freeze the screen if the new typist is unable to pass the test for intermediate level. This has caused great frustration for our kids. The program needs to be rebooted each time. I only found the solution to this by going to the Broderbund website. Broberbund seems to think rebooting is a simple solution for beginners. I find this program difficult for left handed typist. It gives the intermediate test immediately after the lesson for the ,and. These are two difficult skills for left handers. It also freezes in other places and then does not restart where I left off. This is just a poorly written program.

 The cover doesn't lie!, 2002-08-21
I bought this software on 8/16/2002, in effort to boost my typing skills. I type primarily with one hand due to my disability; and I needed to refresh myself on the techniques of one-handed typing (which I learned when I was a junior in high school 5 years ago.) Before purchasing this software, I was at a speed of a mere 12 words a minute, I needed to get back up to at least 30 wpm, which is half the speed I was in high school. Today, 8/20/2002, I am up from 12 wpm to 30-35 wpm! I am confident that within the next few days I will be back to 60 wpm! The promise of "Better typing guaranteed' is no understatement! Buy this software if you need to improve your typing skills! Included on the software is a manual for one-handed typing techniques written by Lilly Waters, so if you are one handed typist in search of good software this is for you! I have tried other programs and nothing compares to this! It is worth the price, hands down!
