THE LYON  The system is very good, especially the option to choose the words I want to practice. I´m having a great experience with this app. I would like to see other option like words per minute. I think that an explanation of the position of the fingers will be very usefull for the first time user.

Thanks for this good app.

PAOLO.DONA  I've been using many typing tutors on the past months, but this one is very slick and integrates seamlessly with my mac.

One cool things you can do is load a text file in your browser and then link it to the software. This way I manage to practice using complex source code files. That's a thing I couldn't do properly with other tools. Good job Valentin!

DR.S.  I am an oldster, and yet I would like to learn touch typing. Since my last comment here about a year ago aTypeTrainer4Mac went from version 1.3 to 2.0.3, steadily integrating new and useful features. In this time, I went from hunt-and-peck typing to touch typing with 100 % accuracy at an actual speed of 20 words per minute. I won't be able to participate successfully at a typing contest, but I think that the daily typing exercises help to keep my fingers and my brains in a fairly good shape...

LOVEMYMACS   I have used as many online and software programs as I could find on google or discover through forums. I am learning to type dvorak after years of thinking about it but not knowing how to proceed. So I'm getting faster and faster but I was faced with a growing problem. Every program or website I have used has broken the learning process into the same basic steps: home row first, then they added additional keys in layers to all of the previous layers. Here's the problem - I got faster and faster at the home row, slightly less fast at the next level and so on until my skills were weakest at the last keys added and I got the least consistent practice at those.

So - along comes this miracle of a program. Miracle or obvious? I'm not really sure. I realize at this point it's either this feature or years of practice. With this program I'm offered the usual sequence that others use - I suppose it makes sense to do it that way - but this one adds something I've been really, really hoping to find. It lets me select which keys to practice if I want to. I can't thank this guy enough for this feature. Before I found it I was typing at about 60 words per minute on the home row, 40 with the next closest keys added in, thirty with the bulk of the keys, but 26 with everything added in. And this just wasn't changing fast enough for me because those last keys - although not as common, were messing up everything else when I was trying to really type. I'm trying to get really fast at this - I'm a keyboard musician and I want to make typing easier on my hands - Dvorak is everything I thought it would be in terms of ergonomics, but I don't want to take forever to get fully fluent.

Anyway - if you've read this far - this feature is why I made a donation and am so enthusiastic. As a keyboard player - when something is particularly difficult we isolate it and practice it. We don't just keep playing the whole piece over and over again hoping for the best. Read the rest of the review for all of the rest of the features. But this feature sets this program above everyone else if you're looking for real mastery.

BEHNAM  Touch typing may be the best way of typing. But it is the only way for those who want to use their Mac to type in a foreign language. In that sense, aTypeTrainer4Mac exceeds the expectations and with the ability to import rtf text files, it is amazingly adaptable to any learning needs, even for complex scripts.

It is already a very good tool, it can only get better!

DBW  Hi Valentin,

I was just about to write you for a renewal of the free licensekey... and found to my astonishment that you now have given your fantastic software "donationware" status!

Great! And congratulations on a new era of aTypeTrainer4Mac!!

We have just sent you a donation of $50. A small price, compared to the fact that our 13 year old daughter ENJOYS learning touchtyping via your software! A great foundation for her future! Thanks for your kind help and for the worlds BEST computer based touchtype tutor. I have tried many other touchtype software products, both PC and MAC based, but they don't even comes close to the high quality and flexibility that your software has. PC users must be very jealous!!

Best Regards and keep up the great work!

VNAGY  Hello Valentin;

Congratulations on a simple but effective program,I like the just for this reason I don't like fancy dressed up program for distractions ,just the straight typing drill,so one can concentrate on what you are trying to learn and I mean concentrate,not watching frogs swallowing insects or balloons popping as you hit them I have on another program.

I do use them but always go back to TypeTrainer4Mac,

because I feel I am getting ahead faster here than any of the others

ABSOLUTEMACIST  This is a five-star program, by far the easiest and most comprehensive touch-typing trainer I have come across. It is a joy to use, and has a wealth of features to aid you as you learn the process.

Particularly useful is the text grab function, which allows you to import the text of whatever web page you have open at the time to practice from.

Many thanks Valentin for this great application!
