Yesolo on the Keyboard

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffApril 21, 2004This extremely thorough program strikes us more like a full-blown typing course rather than a simple skills-building program. Yesolo on the Keyboard's developer lays out his philosophy and teaching methods before you begin and encourages you throughout the 100 lessons, a personal touch we really appreciated. Before you start, you must take a test so the program can evaluate your current capabilities. Since the application keeps your statistics throughout all the lessons, you can track your progress as you improve. However, some users will likely find the program's approach too heavy-handed, as you must complete every lesson before moving to the next one. We wish you could skip around, and the ability to customize the look of the onscreen keyboard would have been nice. When you make an error, the application emits an oops sound, which soon began to grate on our nerves and ensured that we turned off our computer's speakers. Though users looking for a quick-and-dirty typing tutorial will find Yesolo on the Keyboard too unflexible, absolute beginners will be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive learning tool.
