"Typing Pal offers several levels of typing courses, from beginner to advanced to customized contents. An optional part of the program activates a "spy" that will examine typing in any word processor. It gathers statistical data and produces reports that detail speed, error rate, characters mistyped the most and the weakest finger. The spy also provides a "prescription" - exercises based on what it determines is the weakest finger based on the character missed the most often.

Typing Pal's exercises, reports, ergonomic information and the "spy" add up to a solid tool that should benefit any typist."

Typing Pal features an actual software spy that observes everything you do on your computer-whether you're typing a report or sending an e-mail message to a friend. Then, when you return to Typing Pal, the spy presents you with an evaluation of your typing and suggests personalized exercises based on your problem spots. There are no games here, but the program is solid, well-organized and easy to use, with nice animations, illustrations and sounds to keep lessons lively."
