There are 20 levels included in this typing software; a child must achieve a certain level of proficiency before Accu-Type will allow the child to move on to the next level.

There are different typing exercises at each level and the program determines when the typist is ready move on—you can't skip typing sections or jump around. We didn't go through all 20 levels, so we only evaluated the beginning typing levels.

The Accu-Tech website does not offer much detailed information on what typing tasks this program covers, and the help section was skimpy as well.

The main section of this typing software—where you practice typing drills—is fairly straightforward and easy to use.

There is no ideal age range suggested for this typing software, but we feel Accu-Type would not be appropriate young children because it's challenging to figure out. A child needs some computer experience get around in this typing software and to be able to understand the typing test results. (These are displayed on a line graph that takes some time to figure out.)

You can contact Accu-Type by email or phone, but no toll-free number is available.
