Questions & Answers

The current version of my typing abilities makes it impossible for me to do so properly. For beginners such as myself, is this a good place to start?

In fact, yes. Especially for beginners, and for anyone who wants to improve their typing skills, this book will work for them. In my opinion, it is useful. Programs like this are excellent. This is a very good read for me. It is my belief that you will as well.

Does there also exist a key 10?

This program is a lot of fun, and you can also go at your own pace if you are a beginner. The Mavis Beacon has an easy 10-key setup, ergonomic design or it can be set up as standard. I love it.

What are the benefits of using it on ?

It works fine now that I have Windows 10. I got Mavis Becon last December and it just updated to Windows 10.

What are the repercussions of this in Mac OS X It does not appear that mac users have given reviews? Is there one better, if there is, you can recommend that runs on Mac? Is that all?

It is my regret that I have not responded sooner. You may still need this solution if you're still experiencing email issues. This works with the latest version of You need to be using version 5 or higher. There is no doubt that this is by far the best, most convenient method On the market, you will not find an easy-to-use program like this one.

You will learn how to type with this
5/5

It was the first time I bought this program and I had no idea how to type anything. Practicing for an hour daily for about a year was the best thing for me. At first, it was pretty frustrating, but I stuck with it and now I'm able to type between 70 and 80 words per minute On average, we work at 80 words per minute. While the process of learning a skill such as typing may be tedious and boring, that's the price you pay for mastering it. I think it's great to possess this skill. As a high school student in the early 1990s, I was not offered a typing course, therefore I chose this program to learn how to type. There is a lot of information to learn from it Patience and perseverance are all you need. In fact, I don't use it anymore because my computer crashed last year and took the program along with it I don't know what I did with the CD, but I always keep my typing skills sharp by using.

15 years ago, the tutor was the same
3/5

What I have presented here is a very primitive rendition of what I intended. A few years ago, I used a program called Mavis Beacon. tried it again after not sticking to it at the beginning. This program hasn't changed at all in 15 years, which was a surprise and a disappointment to me. This has nothing to do with my meaning. A new version of the graphics is not available. The background music belongs in an elevator. The graphics are clunky and unattractive. Cartoon characters are used on the keys to entice you to "play" with them. The entire package has games, prompts, and directions tailored to juvenile audiences. Over and over again, Mavis offers the same tired statements regarding your great progress. As soon as I was able to grasp a basic lesson, it leapt to include more keys that I wasn't prepared All I had to do was keep repeating the exact same "lessons" over and over again. It is as if the indicators of accuracy and precision look, feel, and behave as they did all those years This program is so great, yet it's so horrible. I can't believe it's so popular. It's possible to remove some of the annoyances by changing the settings, but it's There's something I want, anything better, so I'm returning to look for it.

The Mavis Beacon typing program is easy to use and a lot of fun as well
5/5

I am purchasing this software for the second time. It was a computer malfunction that led to the loss of my first photo. My favorite part of the program is the variety of test levels as well as the opportunity to learn about history, government, literature, and the lives of famous With the lessons you will not get bored and lots of musical choices to keep you inspired, you shouldn't lose interest in them. Anyone who would like to learn how to be a good typist the right way should definitely give this program a try.

I think we did better than just good, but not great! My purpose is to brush up on my skills which are already above average In the beginning, I have always been a fan of the Mavis Beacon line, and I like this as well
4/5

There are so many different tests and lessons here that really work you and find the weaknesses in your learning. However, as a secretary, and I am sure other secretaries will agree, Dictation is defined as "to say or read aloud in order to be recorded or written". With this program, you can just watch the letters and it is not audible for the 30 minutes. The speed at which I can dictate would be too fast. It is only after I have heard the words spoken that I can Since there is no way to move past this, you're left typing one letter at a time for 30 minutes! This drops my AWPM to 11. I think it should either be removed from the program or be accompanied by audio! In spite of this, I am very happy with the product.

I found multiple bugs and the customer service was terrible! My installation was completed per the instructions and via the prompts on a MacBookPro but I still experienced issues after installation
3/5

Whenever we start the program, our work is not saved, so each time we have to start the procedure all over again The first lesson can be found by registering and starting there. When I emailed customer service, after multiple emails back and forth, I was told that "The program has not been installed and that is why it does not work. ". The customer service line did not provide me with any As of right now, I am left either struggling to sort it out by myself, or perhaps having to exchange five or six more emails to not get a resolution. There's a serious chance this will end up on Amazon again.

This is an awful product
3/5

When I run it, I get an error A horrible product. When I tried to open it, I had a blank screen followed by it disappearing. The task manager in my computer indicates it is currently Despite its potential to close, it will not do so. Task Manager is where I need to end the process. There are still some remnants left behind after uninstalling. A malware-like effect is generated by the Encore Product Registration. Uninstalling it is not an option since it keeps popping up over and over again. In the chat window on Encore, I contacted support. According to them, this software will not work with new operating systems such as Windows 7 or This is intriguing. Microsoft Windows 7 is the intended platform for this software. Windows 7 was the platform for the launch of the software. This product works with Windows 7. It is listed in the product information. In response to that, Encore said they no longer supported the product and that I would have to contact sales to obtain a new The Encore team thanks you. The Mavis Beacon is a great product, but Encore bought it, and the company itself is not a good one. I advise you to avoid the product now that it is no longer as good as.

The version of Windows that this works on is not stated clearly Not mine
3/5

It was unable to run on my version of Windows, although the website stated that it would run or at least left ambiguous enough to suggest It was a very disappointing experience for me. Nevertheless, I had moved in the interim and it had been too long since I had returned There will be no Mavis purchase in the near future. My plan is to use one of the many free typing tutors available on the Internet.
