TypingMaster Takes a Fresh Approach to Learning Typing Skills

TypingMaster Finland, Inc. has released TypingMaster Pro 7, a Windows typing tutor that offers fresh and unique ways to accelerate learning and save time.

Unlike traditional typing drill programs, TypingMaster Pro 7 monitors your progress, identifies the areas where you need additional practice, and creates exercises designed to improve these areas. This personal approach dramatically reduces the time it takes to become a proficient touch typist.

TypingMaster Pro 7 provides a mix of teaching techniques, from visual keyboard drills and timed text typing, to games and personalized reviews. You'll receive a detailed analysis of every exercise and typing test, and a rich mix of graphics and statistics to monitor your progress. Typical typing exercises take only a few minutes, allowing you to easily fit lessons into your normal work day.

With TypingMaster Pro 7, you can put your typing skills into practice after only three to five hours of training. As you learn to type more effectively, you concentrate less on finding the right keys, and concentrate more on the ideas that you need to communicate. Touch typists use their time more productively, and project a more professional image in their written communications.

Version 7 includes a set of four Optimal Learning features that let you acquire better typing skills in less time: Each exercise duration is based upon the individual student's progress. The program's Smart Review focuses on problem keys. TypingMaster Satellite tracks real-world typing in your word processor and in other Windows programs, and helps you hone your skills, even after you've completed the typing courses. The bite-size exercises make it easy to fit studies into users' tight schedules. These four Optimal Learning features combine to deliver a time-saving, pleasant, and customized way to improve touch typing skills.

In addition to the Optimal Learning features, version 7 also includes the ability to set and track personal accuracy goals, detailed test reports, more feedback and tips, an advanced speed-building course, a Take-a-Break reminder system, improved course material, new drill types, a screen zoom mode, a redesigned user interface, and many usability and performance enhancements.

Whether you're a business person who can increase your income by increasing your typing speed and accuracy, a student who wants to improve your grades by eliminating typos and increasing the quality of your writing, or a parent who wants a typing tutor that lets each family member receive personalized coaching, feedback, and statistics, TypingMaster Pro 7 has the tools that you need. Since its initial release in 1992, TypingMaster Pro has been continually enhanced.

TypingMaster Pro 7 runs under Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP/2003, costs $39.90(US) for a single-user license, and may be purchased securely online from http://www.typingmaster.com/.
