I have been teaching keyboarding skills to elementary students for 4 years. This product really has made a difference in the time it takes them to master typing. The kids like it so much many ask where they can buy one to use at home.

FIVE STARS for SPEED SKIN!!!
SINCE WRITING THIS REVIEW, DEE AT SPEED SKIN HAS CONTACTED ME!!! :) We all know the frustration we feel when a company's product doesn't meet our needs and when the company doesn't respond to our requests for a replacement or refund. That's what I THOUGHT had happened here after I realized the speed skin I bought didn't fit my laptop keys and I could get no response from Amazon or Speed Skin. Apparently, though, there was a hiccup in the phone line when I contacted Speed Skin regarding the skin that didn't fit my laptop, and they couldn't hear my message clearly, nor could they understand what I said my telephone number was. It took them some time to find my telephone number (I didn't order this program from them directly, but from Amazon) but they DID contact me and were VERY apologetic and accomodating. They are sending me a free Speed Skin cover for my particular laptop. Dee was EXCEPTIONALLY desirous to make sure I was happy and that I did not feel her delay in reaching me was due to a disregard for my satisfaction. Quite frankly, after speaking to her, I must say I cannot remember EVER having been treated with such sincere COURTESY by any company in the past! My confidence in this company has been restored!!
The original review is below, minus the mix-up regarding the Speed Skin.
This CD-ROM has been helpful to me as an adult boning up on my touch typing skills. It has been years since I actually used all my fingers to type, years since I typed without looking down at the keyboard at all--and I DO type faster doing it the "wrong" way at this point, but only at 45 WPM. I know if I can learn to touch type well, I can be a much faster typist and type from copy a LOT more accurately and quickly because I will know where the keys are without peeking at them and losing my place on the copy I'm trying to type. I can see how this CD has been helpful to me in touch typing faster and more accurately. I went from 13 words a minute touch typing with the program to 30 WPM in three quick lessons. I am now on lesson five and it has been very enjoyable. I like how the program not only times my typing and gives me an accuracy reading, I can also make it "satellite" into other programs on my laptop (like email and Microsoft Works/Word) to get readings from my typing there too...the program itself, in my experience, has been helpful and is pleasant to use.

I've been typing the wrong way for 5 years now, and this program really helped me break the habit. It also works great on laptops. With this program you will not want to look at your keyboard (which was also a bad habit of mine), it just forces you to keep your eyes on the monitor, I don't even use the skin on my laptop. Great product, I definetly recommend it.

This product is absolulely amazing. With the skin to cover the keys, I'm not even tempted to peek anymore, and it helps me concentrate better. I can't believe how much progress I've made so far!. There's even a little satellite that monitors your typing in all other applications and then tailors the exersizes specifically for you! A five star product at a very low price. I'd recommend it to anyone, you or old.
