MaxType PRO Typing Tutor Editor's Review

MaxType is a learning tool that will help you improve your typing speed and accuracy, fast and in a fun way. It has a multi-user interface, so each user can create a password-protected account, and specify his own settings.

The Pro version has 6 different learning modes, that will make the process interesting. There are 21 lessons that each have an information, adaptation, improvisation and realization part. You will learn to position your fingers correctly while typing, and you'll have statistics for each hand such as accuracy, mistypes and average speed, as well as general statistics. MaxType has many test text excerpts that you can exercise your typing after such as lyrics, source code, sports, etc.

There are rewards that awaits you if you perform well to the exams, like medals and grades. If you feel like challenging a colleague to a typing contest, you can do that by selecting your role ( client or server), and then inputting the opponent's IP. This is fun!

Pluses: MaxType provides information of how to position your body and hands, and describing the fundamentals of touch-typing, so that you do less mistakes when typing.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: A very useful program, that will help you increase the productivity of your work, if typing is the issue.
