Typesy

What do you like best?

Typesy is a program that is very user friendly for all ages. I can have my children use the account and they will find the games engaging. Right now my focus is in improving my own typing skills so I'll be greedy and do the lessons on my own. The lessons are quick and easy and can be completed during a lunch break. There is a sense of accomplishment when you earn badges and in the field of education, who doesn't like a a gold star?

What do you dislike?

This may seem biased, however, I don't see too much about the program that I don't like. I'm okay with the "child- like interface". I work with children all the time. For a more, "serious" professional, it may seem too juvenile.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are interested in increasing your typing speed and enjoy the games while typing, this program is great!

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I am looking to increase typing speed while reducing errors as well as memorize keyboard so I don't have to look down while I type. The problem this solves is being able to type dictation of teachers as they are instructing students. It will improve the accuracy of capturing the instructional moment.
