Review
Bruce's Unusual Typing Wizard is a comprehensive program that can help us improve our typing ability, speed and accuracy, and is targeted at beginners and those with some experience alike.
Contents are organized into three sections: lessons, game, and practice. Start-off lessons have been designed for beginners to get acquainted with the keyboard layout without looking at it while typing, as well as the correct fingers position. Practice lessons, in turn, are ideal for those who need to improve the very essential ability to type more quickly and accurately. The game included, although not original, has been designed to learn to recall letters position, and besides it’s so much fun.
In addition, what is really interesting is that the program is flexible and can be customized to any level of skill and requirement. On the one hand, the keyboard layout can be adapted to the particular features of different Latin-root languages simply by clicking on a letter and typing the respective letter on the keyboard. We can also edit and replace the default texts of the practice mode by pasting our own texts and exercises. The program also includes statistics to check our progress and support for several users.
BUTW is simple, easy to use, small (only 569KB) and it requires just a basic computer with Windows, and a keyboard. What is more, it is completely free. |
