Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor ReviewA good solid product - Version: 4.7, 6/13/2008 05:02AM PST

I like that this program doesn't restrict you to prerecorded, repetitive lessons. Every lesson is generated on the spot. I learned to type with it, it certainly worked. Easy to use, perhaps the "help" could be better but since its pretty obvious what to do it didn't bother me.

Multi-language support in Ten Thumbs?. No sir! You MUST have a single copy of Ten Thumbs for each language and it supports only that language! If like me, you type in English on a Danish keyboard then, Ten Thumbs is of no use. In answer to my dissatisfaction with the product Ten Thumbs replied,

"We have discussed changing the language selection operation, so that the user
interface can be in a different language to the keyboard and lesson. This
would be possible and is under consideration for a future update. Allowing you
to type in a different keyboard with the lesson itself in English would not be
practical, because of differences in the language/alphabet itself.

Would being able to type with the instructions and interface in English but
the lesson line itself in Danish meet your needs?

We will be happy to issue you with a refund, but I'd appreciate hearing your
feedback on this possibility."

That was in March 2007, still waiting for the refund in August !

From my personal experience with Ten Thumbs I would now recommend alternatives like KAS for Mac or PC, www.kaz-type.com, which I have used on my UK keyboard Mac laptop. For my Intel Mac desktop running Vista with the Danish Keyboard? There are so many PC typing tutors that support multi keyboards that it's impossible to recommend one!
