Talking Typing Teacher for Windows

Talking Typing Teacher, Standard Edition

Over the last few years, we've noticed an ever-increasing need for a typing program that's both fun and easy to use for novice and advanced computer users alike. MarvelSoft's flagship product is Talking Typing Teacher, a revolutionary new typing program that's ideal for home or classroom use.

Built from the ground up with blind and visually impaired students in mind, Talking Typing Teacher features digitized human speech, which is used everywhere in the program. This means that whether you're navigating menus, changing options, managing dozens of student accounts, or visiting the Help Desk, you'll enjoy listening to Eager Eddie read the screen. What makes TTT so special, however, is that each and every typing lesson or practice session is read aloud with clear, concise pre-recorded dialog. Put quite simply, you won't need to worry about trying to understand synthetic speech when you're learning to type with TTT. The only thing Text-To-Speech is really used for is to read your name and play back text you type into Workbook, a fully-functional talking word processor that ships with Talking Typing Teacher.

But that's not all! TTT easily accommodates the specific needs of all visually impaired typists. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can pick from dozens of fonts, change the size of text, and decide how heavy the print should be, (not to mention achieving the ideal color contrast by selecting from thirty different background and text colors). These options ensure that everyone will get the most out of Talking Typing Teacher. Whether you're reading the screen or letting Eager Eddie do the reading for you, you'll have the chance to learn to type, and enjoy doing so!

Here's a quick summary of the various exciting options you'll discover on the main screen of TTT:
"File Cabinet" is a powerful tool for teachers that makes it possible to swiftly manage entire groups, keep track of individual students' progress, and create customized typing lessons.
"Explore the Keyboard" allows students to press any key or key combination on the keyboard, and hear it spoken aloud. If you want the keys they type in other programs announced as well, just hold down a shift key when you push this button.
"Typing Lessons" is where you or your students will spend many happy hours following a detailed, fun, and interactive typing curriculum.
"Key Practice" is a great way to ensure that students are able to quickly locate each and every key on the keyboard.
"Word Practice" presents students with randomly selected words to be typed, to help reinforce newly-acquired typing skills.
"Sentence Practice" has been designed to help students practice typing three different levels of full-length, interesting sentences.
"Typing Games" is a set of six games designed to help students enjoy their newly acquired skills, creating the perfect learning environment for everyone!
As if that's not enough, TTT comes complete with "Talking Workbook", a fully functional word processor, that can be used to test your new typing skills on a practical application. Such advanced features as "Find", "Search and Replace", "Word Count", and "Check Spelling" are included in this fantastic editor.
And to top it all off, students can finish off their typing class by getting their current typing speed.

As you can see, TTT is truly for everyone! Whether you are an individual who wishes to learn to type, a parent who wants to give your child a head start in typing, or a professional looking for an innovative, flexible and easy-to-use typing program for ALL your students, you have just found the ideal solution!

In the case of a professional, network-wide install, you'll need:
420 megabytes of available disc space on the server computer,
and 20 megabytes of available disc space on each client machine.

Remember, whenever you're typing, it's best never to look at the keys. For folks who are just learning, though, this can be very frustrating. If you or your client has low vision and would find it helpful to sneek a peak now and again, we do carry a line of
Large-Print Keyboards to help him or her get started on the road to being an excellent typist.

Talking Typing Teacher Pro

Talking Typing Teacher Pro is fully network-compatible, and is licensed for use on up to thirty-five computers in a single classroom or lab setting. This means that you simply install the program on one computer (the server), and use it on up to thirty-five remote computers (the clients). This is of inestimable value if you are a teacher because all your students' information is stored in one central location. In this way, you can always keep track of your student's progress, without having to go around to each desk. Because student reports are updated every minute, you can keep tabs on each student in your class from any computer on your network that always has accurate, up-to-date data.

TTT Pro also comes complete with an electronic copy of the comprehensive teacher's instruction kit. This innovative educational package is designed to assist professionals in teaching the Talking Typing Teacher program. It contains a text copy of all three levels of instruction, along with helpful hints and tips for each one. Although the entire curriculum is presented audibly and visually, this kit gives a professional an excellent idea of what is covered in each lesson, allowing for greater adaptability in planning and presentation. The tips at the end of each lesson have been designed to allow the teacher to present students the material and/or additional practice at their own pace and cognitive ability.
