This program offers a fun alternative to the drudgery of going through repetitive exercises to get a higher words per minute (WPM) score. It doesn’t offer as many games as Typing Instructor Platinum or Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, but the colorful, engaging interface more than makes up for this shortcoming. Every exercise has an entertaining animation at the bottom that plays once you start hitting the keys. If you make a mistake, the boss will either come in putting his finger up disapprovingly, or the person you’re eating lunch with will steal a piece of your food for themselves.
Typing Pal 5.0 also offers texts for you to type, audio files for you to dictate, exercises to help you improve your typing repertoire and three games to break up the serious work. You can learn about ergonomics under the learning tab while you’re mastering shortcuts and special characters for the Internet.
A big feature this program has that other typing tutor programs don’t is under the follow-up tab. This feature tracks your speed and accuracy when you use other programs that require typing. It collects statistics to inform you about what you need to improve on.
Typing Pal is a great product in terms of simplicity, but it lacks some of the important features that the top-rated products shine with, such as 10-key lessons and skill level tests.
Summary:
Typing Pal 3.7 is a program that doesn’t veer off from the path of wanting to teach you how to be a better typist. Don’t let its supposed lack of features create the impression that it’s a product you should stay away from. If variety is what you’re looking for, Typing Pal 3.7 is not going to give you what you want, but it’s still pretty good typing software.
