Ideal for adults new to the use of a computer keyboard
Typing Tutor 10 is an educational CD-ROM software hallmarked by easy-to-use lessons complete with keyboard and handguides, split screens, backgrounds, music, and web-like navigation. The program introduces beginning students to the keyboard and the Internet.

As they advance, students increase their confidence and dexterity with customized lessons and challenging games, all enhanced with animation and rewarding interactive feedback to motivate them to build their skills and advance at a rapid pace. In addition to classroom instructional use, Typing Tutor 10 is also ideal for adults new to the use of a computer keyboard and needing to acquire competency and confidence in its use for their computer programs, projects, and usages.

Excellent Training Program
TT10 is a simple and very effective training program. This program is user friendly, intuitive and a great tool for learning and improving touch typing. The colour scheme within the screens, graphics and font size are nice and the Navigation is simple and intuitive. I have not completly explored all the lessons but am very satisfied with the software and my progress so far. The games are funny and provide a good break. The product is marked for Win 95/98 on the package but I did not have any problems on Win ME so far.

Claims to be for children...
I bought this based upon its high review rating and its claim to be for children. It does have 8 games. However, it does not provide lessons at a truly beginner level. It's first "beginner" lesson assumes you have already had practice with the "asdfgjkl;" keys. Learning these 8 keys in the same single lesson is too much for your average 11 and under child. After having done some more research, it looks like "Typing Pal Junior" is a better program for beginning children. It teaches two keys at a time, starting with the "fj" keys. It also has dictation practice, in the form of stories you have to type as the computer dictates them to you. This provides the added benefit of spelling practice for your child. It only has two games, but the dictated stories make up for it.

My children may eventually use Typing Tutor 10, but only after they have worked with Typing Pal Junior for awhile.
