Description

Learning to touch-type has never been CUE-ler! CueType’s claim-to-fame visual typing cues get you started quickly, its on-demand keyboarding drills let you target specific skills, and its auto-restart features allow you to set your personal performance bar. Its streamlined layout and operation don’t hurt, either. Whether you’re a beginner looking to kick the hunt-and-peck habit, or a QWERTY master wondering what’s so great about Dvorak, CueType puts your keyboarding goals right at your fingertips. (Now, who didn’t see that pun coming?) Features: • On-Demand Drills: Switch to any drill at any time. • Auto-Restart Options: Do-over! Instantly interrupt a drill thats going poorly and try again. • QWERTY & Dvorak Layout Support: Learn either, or both! CueType keeps separate records. (Note: Your physical keyboard doesnt have to match the layout youre learning, but your keyboard needs to be of a "US style". International keyboards are not supported.) • Printable Performance Reports: Comprehensive drill and key-accuracy statistics • Designed for Mac: Find drills in a drawer, important options in a toolbar, and information in retractable sheets • NO "natural language" drills! CueTypes purpose is to teach you where the keys are on your keyboard and then get out of your way. If you want real-world typing practice, then practice typing in the real world! Write some email, take some class notes, get started on that novel. Those activities will help hone your skills more than spending time on canned drills. --- NOTICE to users of CueType 2.x: Dont upgrade. The changes in version 3.0 arent (yet!) significant enough to justify the cost.

A let down

I was so excited about a Mac-specific typing app. Reasons I want my $20 back: -No narrative (you just click on a lesson title, and are met with a page of letters). -No "problem keys" feedback. The worst thing is that CueType doesnt offer anything you cannot VERY EASILY do without forking over $20. I recommend visiting customtyping dot com …I have yet to find a better way to increase my keyboard skills. I think it costs about $9 a month after a 2-week trial.

Mediocre at best

I bought this piece of software for my younger brother, age 12. He has absolutely no keyboarding experience and found this software to be incredibly difficult to use. I had to stand over his back for some time telling him where to put his fingers, what fingers hits which key, etc. Be warned, this software gives absolutely NO INSTRUCTION. This is merely for drills. If you are looking for practice and have already had some degree of formal training, this is for you. If not, look somewhere else!
