Centre Touch Typing Tutor

The University of Birmingham has a long history of work in the area of visual impairment and education. I’ve used this program for the last 10+ years and have found it to be a very useful program to get started  

Touch Typing Tutor is a software programme which was designed  to assist teaching touch typing skills to visually impaired.

Please note that no support is available for this program. It was developed for Windows 95 and is known to work with 98, XP,Vista and Windows7 which I have tried and works ok.

From XP onwards it is quite common for the program to have no focus at first, so you have to use ALT+TAB to get the focus back on the program. Sorry I can not help if the insulation fails so please make sure you have do a backup to your system restore.

Thank you and enjoy!
