[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Timed Typing Test

delong@frith.msu.edu (Keith Delong) (10/17/90)

I have some Office Systems Instructors that are looking for a good 
electronic Timed Typing Testing System.  Currently, we are using
a TSR type program that locks out keys like backspace and arrows,
Then after a certain amount of time, inserts exit keystrokes into
the word processor.  The file is printed along with a WPM rating.
We use PC-Write as the entry program.  

What we would really like is a program, with student assignments,
that would check the typing too!

Anybody use an Ideal system like this, and want to tell us about it?

Thanks!

Try Typing Tutor IV+.  I believe it has all of the features that you are
asking for and it has a very good space invaders type game called letter
invaders.  It even has support for QWERTY and Dvorak keyboards.  I sounds
like it would fit exacty what you're looking for.
