FastFox Typing Expander
Aug 21st
Following up on my last post about the Typing Assistant Software, I’d like to bring your attention to another tool that can help improve your typing efficiency and help you type faster. While Typing Assistant focuses on predictive text, FastFox Typing Expander relies on macros. That is, you can program the software to expand a short chunk of text into a much longer one. For instance, you could train the program to output “Free online typing games are a great way to improve your keyboarding skills” every time you type “fotg”.
The program is $60 to buy, but you can download a 15 day free trial version to evaluate it and see how you like it, so check it out if you are looking to give the typist in you a little boost.

Just released this November is a new typing program designed specifically for children with learning disabilities. From their site:
Keyboard Classroom was designed by educators at the internationally-renowned Ben Bronz Academy to provide children with learning disabilities the opportunity to learn in a mainstream environment. Research shows that mastery of keyboarding and touch typing skills can lead directly to success in composition, spelling, and note taking.
