Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor 4.1 released

Runtime Revolution today released a major upgrade to its Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor software for Windows and Mac OS X. Version 4.1 adds Dutch keyboard/language support, and Swiss keyboard support under French as well as German languages. The update offers several enhancements to overall performance/stability, and includes five habits of touch typing. Key features of Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor include "Ten Thumbs SongSeeker," a typing solution that allows users to type lyrics while listening to music; a "real world language generator" that produces fresh sentences to type; a personal trainer approach that teaches the five habits of touch typing; adaptive lessons that automatically adjust to skill levels, teaching new keys as necessary and adjusting the lesson plan; and a new multimedia experience that lets users watch as the "Typing Viking" comes alive on the screen. Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor 4.1 is priced at $26, and requires Mac OS X 10.1.3 or later.

Drawback of this progam

The problem with TTTT is that as you get to the later letters, it doesn't increase the frequency of test words that have that letter in it. So when you get to 'c', you don't get enough practice trying to type 'c', because 'a' ,'s' , 'd' , and 'f' words come up as frequently as 'c'. This kinda killed the program for me.
