With its emphasis on practical, real-world text, Typing ABC teaches typing skills more quickly than programs based upon abstract concepts. Key words for each lesson are based on the most common words that are used in schools, business, and homes. Typing ABC's lessons and drills are based upon a stunning onscreen keyboard that shows the placement of the keys. Using color, sound, and animation, there is no need for aspiring typists to look at their fingers while typing. The screen also contains copybook text for the student to type. The user gets immediate feedback for correctly and incorrectly typed keys. In addition, Typing ABC has a unique Finger Tips graphic device that reminds you of the position and direction of your fingers when typing characters. As with all of Typing ABC's on-screen feedback tools, Finger Tips may be easily turned on or off by the user. As typing skills increase, users can move from Watch and Type mode into Blind Typing, forcing them to look at the text to be typed instead of the results of their typing. Typing ABC uses analyze your typing statistics, find your weakness, and construct copybook drills that help you practice the keys and key combinations that you need to work on. In addition to using the built-in lessons, you can import your own text files for drill and practice. There is even a Tetris-like typing game that provides a lighthearted break from the drills and lessons. Typing ABC gives you real-time feedback on your typing accuracy and speed. Progress meters keep track of your level of effort, and performance meters show you the results of your most recent practice or quiz. Beginning typists have two problems: They cannot type without watching the keyboard, and their fingers - especially ring fingers and pinkies cannot move fast enough. Typing ABC helps users overcome both problems, and turns hunt-and-peck typists into touch typists.

Is designed for young typists (grades Pre-K to 3rd), and teaches proper typing technique for the letter keys. Sound effects and animation are used to make learning to type fun (and funny). Help is given with an animated tutorial, a screen to show proper fingering, and an on-screen keyboard which highlights the correct key when needed. There are three games in the program. Jumping Letters is designed for very young students, and can be played at any pace. Each correctly typed letter is rewarded with the letter being removed by an animated critter chosen by the pupil. When 10 letters are completed (context-sensitive help insures success), the child gets a silly cartoon. Letter Drill allows students to choose between 20 and 120 letters to practice. A report is generated at the end of the practice showing words per minute, errors, and time. The last letter in the sequence is removed in a silly way by a critter, then the pupil is rewarded with a cartoon. Flying Letters is an arcade style game for advanced typists. The speed of the game is determined by the player (and can be changed at any time during the game). A report is generated at the end of the game, and a funny animation is displayed. All three games allow the student to choose a group of letters (such as left hand home keys), or to practice all 26 letters. The animation in the program is achieved using stop-motion animation, as well as other techniques.
