Hi all,

Our organization is looking to update our computer training facilities in the short term so we are reviewing all of our current hardware/software and projecting future needs.

Has anyone in the group evaluated typing instruction software for the Mac, and if so, would you mind sharing your findings/recommendations?  We are looking for something ideally that would serve the needs of our low vision population and JAWS users.

Thanks in advance.

Good morning!
I blog for Perkins Paths to Technology.  Recently, I wrote a post reviewing Typio Online.  As long as it is run off of the Chrome browser, I don't think the OS matters.  Here's a link to the article:
Typio Online: A Web Based Self Voicing Typing Programhttp://www.perkinselearning.org/technology/blog/typio-online-web-based-self-voicing-typing-program

Here is another one also.  I think Keystroke has a Mac version.

Best of luck!
