Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I have been a happy user for many years and versions
I was already a very speedy typist when I bought Mavis Beacon for my husband, and for fun I tried the programme too: well, it immediately spotted my weak point: symbols and numbers (I rarely have to use them!), and earnestly presented me a lesson on those. I was mortified and I laughed, so started using it myself. This is one of the wonderful features: the programme sees where your weaknesses are, and in the next lessons concentrates on those. Then my son grew up, and started using it, then my daughter ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great For All Ages
This typing program is the best I have ever used. I have been trying many typing games to learn how to type and this is the only one that has worked. I am now 11 and can type with ease. I recommend this for all ages.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic
I love this program. My daughter is making very good progress and loves to use it too. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to learn how to type and not be bored.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Get only the Deluxe
There is practically no substantial difference between version 15 and 16 UNLESS you get the deluxe version of 16. Then you have a few more games. I did find 16 for $4. but had to pay $5 shipping/handling for each copy (even though it came in one package!). They should just put the price at $9. and I wouldn't have been so irritated. Still, don't bother getting version 16 unless you get the Deluxe, IMHO.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Has been a big help.
The Mavis system has been a big help for me. I started off with horrendous typing skills but over the last year of so they have greatly improved. Thank you so much.
