TypingMaster Reviewer's Comments

TypingMaster Pro by TypingMaster is reasonable typing software with a good set of features. It is priced about the same as the Gold and Silver typing programs.

Ease of Use:  

TypingMaster Pro is fairly easy to figure out, but there is no screen by screen information or instruction. There also isn't any help built into the program or a help section available online.

We found it pretty frustrating to use this program, for example, we know that you can practice 10-key with it, but we simply could not find it or anything that could tell us where to look.

Feature Set:  

TypingMaster offers a "Pro Trainer" tool that analyzes your typing while you use certain Windows applications and then creates a customized lesson based on your weaknesses. You can also customize your drills and tests to work on a specific typing weakness easily.

TypingMaster Pro allows you to select between nine different languages to use and between 34 different types of keyboards. There are also some basic games for typing fun available with the program. TypingMaster Pro contains an easy-to-read reports page, which can be printed out in the form of a certificate of achievement.

We did have a problem with the program's testing system. Basically when you're taking a test, the word you are supposed to type is underlined for you. But when you move to the next word, it takes an extra moment for the underline to move also. This problem becomes more irritating the faster you type.

Ease of Installation:  

We experienced no problems while installing TypingMaster Pro.

Help/Support:  

TypingMaster Pro offers built-in help that is accessible from the "Information" screen and there is FAQs available online where you will find the answers to common questions. There is also an online form you can use to email questions directly to customer support.

Summary:  

TypeMaster from TypeMaster Pro is a basic, no-frills program that offers a great deal of lesson and test customization.
