Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing has been the leading typing instructions programme for more than a decade by offering dynamic personal instruction. Mavis Beacon places you in lessons based on your current skill level and then prepares each lesson in response to your progress, concentrating on the keys you need to work on. And when you pass a major milestone, you can print out a certificate from the Mavis Beacon Typing Institute.

Having fun while you are improving your typing skills is the name of the game with this new edition. Compete in typing races against your friends and family using two Macs in your home. Speed and accuracy both count as you steer racing cars, Spanish galleons and water scooters to the finish line. And you'll have even more fun learning to type as you listen to your favorite iTunes playlists.

Other new features include a floating typing gauge that lets you test your typing speed in any word processing programme such as Microsoft Word, Mail, or Text Edit. The first new international edition in nearly a decade, 2008 Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing still has all the features that made it famous including personalised progress reports, the ability to create custom lessons, typing ergonomics training, dictation practice and more.
