I had to buy this to pass a transcribing class in college. Helped me relearn after typing by the "hunt and peck" method for 30 years. Tried other software, only this one did the trick.
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing Deluxe 16 2007-07-29
This is an excellent product to learn how to type using the computer's standard keyboard, or the keys on the number pad. It is intuitive; after each set of lessons it determines what your weak areas are and creates lessons to firm up accuracy and speed in the keys you need to practice on. In addition this deluxe edition provides important videos on ergonomics and exercises. At any point you can view your word per minute speed and your accuracy. If you already have learned to type but need to increase your words per minutes, a initial test is provided to learn your present ability and then starts the lessons to fit where you are and need to go. You can set a goal and periodically see your progress. It has games that are pretty muched geared to children, but can be turned off. The background music was annoying but could be turned off also. After using the stand alone software I ordered the network version and use Mavis Beacon for a computer keyboarding class. My adult students are doing well with it, each proceeding at their own rates and levels. Because the price is affordable, I encourage my typing students to purchase the software and place on their home computers to keep up their practice and progress in speed and accuracy.
So far so go

learning has gone very quickly easy to understand and follow entertaining so that it does not become boring
Works GREAT on XP S2 2007-06-08
We got this to teach our 11 year old to type. Mavis Beacon 16 has been great for him, it's gotten my typing-phobic husband to learn to type and I've brushed up my skills considerably. We've had it on two PCs and a laptop - all with XP S2 and it has always worked perfectly. I do not understand what more anyone could want! Highly recommended.

Mine worked on XP SP2 perfectly. 2006-08-08
I was surprised to hear that this software didn't work on others' computers that were running XP SP2, mine runs just fine. To be honest though it did take a while for the setup to kick in. After it started up the first time though it runs flawlessly.
During the exersizes(sp) there is a little keyboard on the screen with see-through hands telling you which finger needs to go where. That really helped me out, being a visual learner.
Graphics are very cheap looking, but you're not in this for a beauty contest, it's to improve your typing speed. This program really does just that.
Exellent Program 2006-02-08
This program helps one to improve speed and accuracy in typing. It really works.
It teaches beginners and people with experience. It has fun games and lets you set your own goals. It also tracks your progress. VERY COOL!
