typing tuitor prog?

[joe81]

anyone know of a free typing tuitor type thing my dad wants to learn how to type on the computer.

Not freeware, but buy him a copy of typing of the dead. I love that game.

i also just realized that i should spell check everything i ever do before i type it.

Dunno where, but I'm sure you could find a copy of Mario Teaches Typing somewhere.

Another vote for the typing of the dead.

yea pc version of typing of the dead prob find it for almost nothing but it rocks

i suggested it to him he asked if there's a way to set it to a sped level (basically he really can't type and wants to know if you can actually learn how to type by playing it)

Mavis Beacon teaches typing isn't bad, I think you can pick it up at walmart or that type of store for like $10.

Typing of the dead really won't be a good idea for learning how to type. It's good for improving your typing skills but if you're starting out with nothing it's probably next to useless. I would go for an actual typing tutor program like dibz mentioned.

Whilst typing of the dead has an attempt at teaching you how to type I would agree that for people that have never typed before it may be too difficult.
