Editor's Review
Mavis Beacon Platinum - Things We Like
Learning to type need not be a chore with the Mavis Beacon Platinum download, which gives you access to a program that will help you improve your skills and have fun at the same time. Its bespoke experience lets the lessons cater to you rather than forcing you to stick to a rigid program and it is suitable for both professionals and amateurs.
Although this program is the latest in a long line of typing tutorials it never feels archaic or irrelevant. The wide support for different keyboard layouts and the customisation tools which let you build the process of teaching around your requirements will definitely appeal to a broad user base.
Mavis Beacon Platinum - Things We Didn't Like
There is very little to be critical about in a Mavis Beacon Platinum review, because with games and exercises being this educational and fun it is easy to recommend. The sole complaint at the moment is that there is no telephone support line and the developer relies heavily on its forum contributors to help one another out with any issues rather than getting involved itself.
