Re: Typing programs for learning to type for Mac?

[Devin Prater]

The thing I kinda don’t like about Keystroke is that it doesn’t really keep 
track of stuff. I mean, it’s a nice little thing, and maybe it’ll work for your 
client, but Typing Club gives you hints on where keys are, keeps track of how 
fast you type and stuff, and is continuously being updated. Your client will 
need to know how to navigate with VoiceOver when they use Typing Club, and turn 
off VoiceOver, or mute speech, when the lesson begins, but that’s all they need 
to do. A client of mine used it successfully, but that was in an educational 
setting where we enabled screen reader option “accessibility, blind mode”, for 
them. But I was also able to do that on a test account I made as well.

Now, I will say that Typing Club isn’t Typability. It doesn’t go on long 
descriptions of where to find keys initially, which is something I’ve brought 
up to them, but it does well for a web app made by a company that isn’t 
specifically an AT company.

RE: Typing programs for learning to type for Mac?

[Richard Turner]

I sent this info to my client with the Mac computer.
I noticed they have a Windows version.
I tried it out with Jaws, NVDA, and Narrator.  I could not get any of them to 
reliably read the letters that you are supposed to type automatically.
If you have to stop and read the line to figure out what to type, it isn’t very 
accurate.
I tried following the link in the help menu, but got a 404 server not found 
error.

And, the contact form on the New Mexico commission for the Blind web site is 
less than accessible.
This seems like a potentially great replacement for a paid typing tutor that my 
office uses.
We mostly work with Windows.
Since this will be off topic for this list, if you have any information that 
could help, please write me off list: 
richardturne...@outlook.com

Thanks,


Richard

RE: Typing programs for learning to type for Mac?

Thanks for this.
I will pass it along.
It sounds like having enough vision to see the screen will be necessary, but I 
think my client can see the screen well enough for now.

Later,
