Letter Chase Typing Tutor is practically the same as Advanced Speed Typing (ranked #11), but a few screens in Letter Chase have additional customization options. This program is the newest version from DR Software.

Ease of Use:   Excellent

Letter Chase Typing Tutor has helpful instructions to aid navigation—without this, navigating Letter Chase Typing Tutor would be tough. For example, the testing section is a blank, uninviting screen. Knowing where to start and what to do isn't intuitive.

Feature Set:   Excellent

Letter Chase Typing includes eight basic typing lessons, a beginner section, and intermediate and advanced levels. Students move to progressively harder typing drills automatically.

Letter Chase Typing Tutor comes with two beginner typing games to hone basic skills, called Letter Chase and Word Sweep—that display text for your child to type within a time limit. We feel the program would be more fun with more game variety.

After checking typing skills in the test area results are viewed on bar graphs; these test results don't spell out which fingers or hands need improvement, but simply graphs how well the typist is doing on each character or letter.

In Letter Chase Typing Tutor, you can adjust the timing, sound, and background color to suit your fancy, so this typing software allows for limited customization.

Letter Chase Typing Tutor does not have a library of practice articles, but you can add your own practice materials or use the Letter Chase 10-line drills.

Ease of Installation:   Excellent

Installing Letter Chase Typing Tutor was easy.

Help/Support:   Excellent

D R Software offers a customer service email address for technical support. The help tutorial in the Letter Chase Typing Tutor program details instructions for each part of the software. The help file includes an index/search tool for finding topics fast.

Summary:  

Letter Chase Typing by D R Software is marketed to the whole family, but younger children will need assistance finding their way around and understanding progress reports.
