I suppose Typeasy does the basic job it sets out to do, but I personally found it clumsy and irritating to use. Read Review
The exercises are loaded from tape in blocks of 20. One of the seven blocks is selected when you have chosen the next exercise. Note that starting point of each block so that you can find it easily. To escape from any exercise before the end press the ESCAPE key.
Exercise 1 displays the keyboard and an arrow shows which key you have struck. Learn your way around the keyboard without looking.
Single line exercises with keyboard display: The arrow shows the key to strike next; and will not move on until it is found.
Single and multiline exercises without keyboard display: errors are not checked until the end. Speed is measured in words/minute counting five strokes per word. The timer starts when the first key is pressed and stops at the end of the text.
Pauses between the repetitions are not timed. In multiline exercises, watch the cursor and use RETURN at the end of each line as necessary.
To write your own exercises onto tape or disc, rewind the tape, type CHAIN"WRITEX" (RETURN) and follow the directions from the screen. Old exercises can be edited. Write onto a fresh tape!
Tape: CHAIN"" (RETURN)
