Ease of Use:  

This typing program is simple to operate; you just click on the main screen icons to choose tasks (each icon offers popup descriptions for easy deciphering) then follow the instructions.

Feature Set:  

UltraKey includes a large variety of helpful typing tests, drills and lessons for all typing skill levels. The focus of UltraKey is repetitiveness—the key to learning typing.

You set a words-per-minute goal then reach it before moving on in this typing program, and Ultra Key typing software includes a detailed reporting section so you can view or print out detailed graphs or progress reports.

The Management section allows parents and teachers a considerable amount of control with customizable tests, adjustable skill levels and modified speed calculation.

One item vital to all top typing software programs is a 10-key lesson section. We were disappointed that UltraKey doesn't include one.

Ease of Installation:  

We didn't have any trouble installing UltraKey typing software.

Help/Support:  

The help in UltraKey was adequate, as the program is fairly easy to use and navigate. There is no index search available, however.

The downloaded file includes optional movies for each section of the program and a large PDF manual. 

Bytes of Learning Incorporated has a brief FAQ page, built-in knowledgebase and an email form available for customer support.

UltraKey is a good, basic typing tutorial for children and adults alike. Though this program doesn't offer games, there are plenty of interesting drills and practices available.
