Ultimate Typing 2013 Review

Posted on by Posted in Reviews 1 Comment

This is my review of Ultimate Typing, software that will improve typing skills.  I have used software from eReflect, the company behind Ultimate Typing, before and might be a bit biased. At least I started the review with a very positive mind. This went to a minor chock as I found out that… Well, read on I you will find out J

Short Overview

Ultimate Typing is anextremely comprehensive course on touch typing using all the latest technology for fast results. I found it easy to use and actually it is fun to study.

I had one major problem but that is related to my non English keyboard. I also found some of the introduction videos a bit too long and I would appreciate being able to start the tests with a keyboard command. If you would like to read about the program from their own site you find it by folloving this link – Ultimate Typing 2013

First some background

Ok, I have to admit that I am not that much of a “read the manual” type of guy but when I started to read the website I found myself instantly wanting to try the program out.

Typing besides reading is a big part of my day. I am 52 years old and have definitely not typed a lot when I grew up. I remember I went to some typing classes…not really sure why at that moment. Anyway I did learn the very basics about typing with all my fingers and where to place them.

Now I have worked with computers for many years and actually several times tried to improve my typing. However after a couple of days I have always forgotten about it or just made changes to my prioritizations. Right now it is about a year since I did any real typing training besides the everyday work.

I have not found that my typing gets any better from my daily work and that is a bit strange. Maybe I get an explanation about that in the course.

I am not sure if it matters but my first language is not English and that might have some effect on the training. My keyboard is different from an English keyboard but as I am used to this, I suppose it doesn’t matter (it certainly did).

Starting up

I downloaded the Ultimate Typing software and installed it without any problems whatsoever. I followed the instructions and everything was finished in a couple of minutes.

The first screen I met was to set my goal. It felt a bit strange as I don’t have any idea what my speed is today so I just followed the default 30 wpm in speed and 90% accuracy.

What the course is about

Getting started

Well, this was a bit long winding for me. I agree to everything the girl said about how important touch typing is in this Internet world of today but for me there was not that much news.

Ultimate typing

Here you get to know about more benefits with Ultimate Typing and an introduction to the software. Further you will find sections about the importance of getting to know the keyboards, ergonomics, setting up the workspace, goal setting and stretching. You will also find explanations about the typing games, typing to dictation, different tests and multiuser function meaning that all in the family can use the same software.

Setting goals

How to find time to train? I have to remember that the main reason for training typing is to save time when I get more skilled. Typical typing speeds are 45 wpm as minimum for an office worker and 70 wpm for an author.

Beginners Typing Course

After a video introduction about this part of the training we start to learn everything about the keyboard.

Touch typing is all about using the memory…I found that I have to start with the beginner course. No surprise here.

At this part of the course I got disappointed. Before I started I thought that I somehow could sidestep the fact that I am using a keyboard that isn’t yet supported. Now I found that I could not test my own speed or take part of the beginner’s course.

Accuracy building Course

This is type training focusing on proper grammar and spelling without losing speed.

Speed Building

Here you find several activities to build up the speed. I found this both interesting and helpful.

Advanced Typing

Collection of several mini courses like pre- and suffixes, common phrases, double letters and also common short words.  This part is huge as every “mini course” consists of up to 10-11 parts. This is also my favorite part of Ultimate Typing. Maybe this is because I have typed a lot earlier.

I found that the combination of a sound and a red warning when I make an error might be very rewarding for my memory. Earlier I have made the same errors again and again and never found out why I don’t learn. I am not sure why now either but I know that my accuracy have improved without losing speed and that is most important.

Even More…

Other sections in this first part of the course are ergonomics, dictation practice and how to use the numeric keypad.  At the end there is a summary training where you start to combine everything you have learned so far.

Part 2 – Building Typing Skills

Free Study

Here we can train with both custom lessons as well as test ourselves with different texts in the program or use Wiki articles. In other words, we can train with whatever text we want.

Fun Typing Games

There are 5 different typing games and actually I can play with all of them with my kind of keyboard.

Keyboard Training

This is more of a fun way to further develop you skills with the keyboard. The different training parts are Quick Trainer, Key React and Key Memory. I found the last one most interesting as it is a memory test as well.

Accuracy Training

There are 3 different programs for accuracy training; Falling Words, Rising Words and Focus.  Rising Words is my favorite.

Speed Training

You will find 5 different speed training programs.

Summary of the Ultimate Typing review

I have really enjoyed my first days with Ultimate Typing. I found that there were so much more to learn about fast and accurate typing than I had understood. It was a new start in my journey to make some savings in our most valuable asset – time.

It would be nice to be able to start new games by hitting enter or some other command instead of using the mouse. Maybe that would be something to wish for to the next version.

None of the test programs worked for me as I have the wrong keyboard. That is obviously making the software less interesting for me at the moment. I hesitated to even do this review until the upgrade that includes the Scandinavian keyboards. I decided to write down my thoughts anyway as they might be of help for people wanting to improve their typing skills.

I am glad I did make that decision as I found out how comprehensive this course really is.

If you use a computer – I certainly would recommend Ultimate Typing. If you are using the computer in the work – it is a must.

ContentFx Review and Discount

Posted on by Posted in Reviews Leave a comment

This is an old program and saved only for …well I am not sure why.

ContentFx is the new name of iContentRobot. I have been a member from the start and this is one of the best tools I use. This is my review of ContentFx…. or as a matter of fact I had the ContentFx program to write a review.

It is a bit pushy but I think you get some idea about the quality of the articles produced by ContentFx. There is a 3 day free try out for the program so you have really all the possibilities to check it out.

Update: The 3 day free try out is gone and now you can get a 30 day trial period for $27.

What about the discount? I have decided to give the 50 first who sign up using my link will get $20 discount every fully payed month. This is done by me manually sending you 20 bucks to your PayPal account. When you have signed up… send me an email with your PayPal email. You can use swerik at gmail.com for this or other questions you might have. You can also contact me by Skype, my username is swerik.

Duplicate Content, What is all the fuss about?

If you want to increase the traffic to your website then you need to use less or preferably no duplicate content.

Google has made it clear that it wants to provide its users with quality, relevant content and will continue to downgrade sites that do not provide this service.

Imagine the Unimaginable — Unlimited Unique Content Articles

How would you react if I told you it was possible to have articles that are not generated by computer but written by human writers with a good knowledge of English, are completely unique and will add genuine value wherever you submit or place them!

No, you are not dreaming, this new system which is going to take the Internet by storm with fresh unique content that the search engines will just love as it has been written for the reader in mind so the overuse of keywords, which will lower your ranking, has been eliminated.

Dominating niche markets

Imagine how easy it would be to dominate any niche market with such fresh content that has been written with LSI in mind unlike most of the content now available.

Possibly the most important weapon in your online business arsenal The creators decided to call this labor saving system ContentFx and it is already causing quite a stir amongst the Internet community.

Just a click of a mouse and a professional article is created that has never been used anywhere in the world, let alone the Internet.

A new article at the touch of a button For one article, start to finish and that is, create the article, check the density, check the number of times I inserted a keyword and post it takes me approximately 3 seconds; yes you did ready that correctly.

Successful business people work Smart not Hard! If you want to work every available hour then work for someone else but if you got into Internet marketing to spend more time with your family and have a better lifestyle then you need to seriously consider just how you are going to achieve this without ContentFx to help you.

Unique content is just one part of the equation…incoming links are another. Good news, Content Fx has great solutions for that as well.
