Utah Keyboarding Software Review


Software Title:  MasterMind Typing 2.08 Year Published:  1999
Suggested Age:   10+ years Rating:  Good
Description:  MasterMind Typing tutor reads your mind!  It uncannily knows when you're ready for a new key and when to repeat each, which makes learning fast and more fun than a game. MasterMind builds a mental model of the learner respecting the lesson and each item in it. MasterMind Typing gives lessons of different kinds in three phases. Completion of Phase 1 makes the student a touch typist, Phase 2 efficiently focuses on common sequences of characters, and Phase 3 is optional literature that the student memorizes by typing. MasterMind lessons need no grading. A lesson automatically continues until the student masters it. The only record necessary is to show what lessons the student has done. In Phases 2 and 3, the speed setting also belongs in the record as part of the lesson description.
