Daughter used it in public junior high, Loved it!
My daughter used Mavis Beacon version 15 in her junior high tech class, and she asked me to buy it for her little brother, so he could learn to type. I'm buying a copy for my boyfriend, too. He can type, but he wants to type faster -- he's in graduate school. His first language is Spanish, and he has the option of having Mavis speak Spanish. My daughter wants to play the typing games again, ...

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 ...

Very refined Mavis
This is our third version of the product and it is very refined with nice graphics. Tying instruction is still good and the games are great for the kids. We thought Mavis liked all the same music that we do until we realized the program was accessing our iTunes library to play background music during periods of inactivity when the program is left on!

Much Improved, this is the best program now days
This program is MUCH IMPROVED! If you'll see my review of Mavis Beacon 17 I believe it was, you can see where I pointed out this programs flaws. However, these have all been resolved and this program has become satisfactory in every way in my opinion.

Excellent program to learn to type with
About three or four years ago, my parents forced me to sit down and work with this program until I could type fast. Thank goodness they did! Now I enjoy computer programming, creative writing, and surfing the Internet at a much faster speed. I don't have the speed of a professional typist, obviously, but including errors my typing speed is on average over one hundred words per minute. ...

Mavis Beacon taught me to type
When I was in school, you wrote in cursive and your keyboard time was limited to Oregon Trail if you were lucky. In today's day and age being able to type efficiently and quickly can be extremely important. I had always heard positive things about Mavis Beacon and decided to give her a shot. The first thing I can say about this program is that it is VERY user friendly. Once I had it installed ...

Great tool for typing
I purchased this from Best Buy for 10 bucks. My mom told me that there is no price for something you learn. I think about it, and I really agree. I mean, we waste so much money on games and then when something educational comes up we hesitate. This is a great learning tool for the whole family. I love the setup and graphics, they're simple yet neat. They are also appealing. This program can teach ...

worst typing program yet
I ordered this because Mavis Beacon is such a well known name in the typing world. I learned to type using Mavis Beacon adult programs, so I was excited to teach my 9 year old son how to type using the children's typing program. The program was absolutely horrible. I think I could have found better programs on the internet for free. We took the disk to the thrift store right away. The ...
