I don't want to put a dampener on this this valuable advice, but please do bear in mind that the UK's PC keyboard differs in many ways from American ones, and indeed if I recall correctly, when I was training in South Africa, they keyboards were also not in line with UK ones. (They don't have a Pound currency sign for a start - which is shifted 3) Hence, any keyboard typing tutor should specifically be aimed at UK keyboards.

Hi Alan, It's not free, but there's a program called Talking Typing Teacher from I think it is in Canada, a company called Marvle Soft. I know the National Council here in South Africa recommend it for beginning typing, I can't find the site, but you can get it from www.independentliving.com Ari ----- Original Message ----- From: alan pollard <mailto:apollaal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access uk <mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 12:46 PM Subject: [access-uk] Typeing tutorial for a beginner?
