Description:  Designed to help typists at all levels from beginner to advanced.  Contains nine lessons to teach new users the keys. Students begin by learning to memorize the individual keys, then use those keys in words before going on to the next set of keys. In the Beginner's Drills Section, transparent, animated hands guide fingers from home row to the letter to type. Charts are created of each student’s progress.  After learning the keys, the Intermediate Section provides practice with word combinations. Students can practice phrases or simple sentences. The animated hands are still used in the intermediate section.  The Advanced Section allows students to type four lines at time. Practice will be more realistic and a more accurate WPM score can be calculated.  Contains several motivational activities.  Speed tests and error analysis are provided to monitor progress.
