GS Typing Tutor 2.99

Some things come as a given; other things you have to work for. For example, the fact that you have good eyesight and good reflexes comes as a given. With your good eyesight you can view all the buttons on the keyboard and with your good reflexes you can swiftly switch to the letter you want to type. But your typing speed is comparable to the running speed of a baby sloth. This is because typing prowess is something that you have to work for.

Nobody can just sit down in front of a keyboard and start typing 200 words per minute. Even I, who work with text each and every day and spend most of the day typing away, can remember a time when I had trouble finding that darn “B” key.

There are ways you can better your typing skills. For example you could use a specialized piece of software – makes sense to use a software application on your computer to learn how to better use said computer. One such application is GS Typing Tutor. It is your virtual tutor that will guide you thorough all the intricacies of touch typing and turn your from a typing sloth into a typing cheetah.

GS Typing Tutor is perfectly suited for the needs of the novice computer user. If you fall in this category, GS Typing Tutor will teach you how to memorize the keyboard layout and thus stop constantly looking down at the keyboard to locate keys. It will also teach you how to use all your fingers to type – no more two finger typing.

The experienced user could also benefit from what GS Typing Tutor has to offer. If you are already familiar with touch typing, GS Typing Tutor can help you by giving your typing speed a boost.

What I found refreshing about GS Typing Tutor is the amusing learning process. Learning can be monotonous and boring. To counter this, GS Typing Tutor makes things fun by presenting you with 5 typing games. You learn while you play!

Fun, easy to use software that teaches novices how to type and teaches experienced computer users how to type faster.
