Comparison of Methods Used
We trialed these popular typing software programs: BBC Dance Mat, Mavis Beacon 7, Nimble Fingers, Ten Thumbs, TypingMaster 7, Typequick, Type to Learn 3 and Typing Pal
They all used the same method to teach correct finger use
Typing Software Programs Nail It Now Typing Tutor
Use random letter typing repetition to teach correct finger use. No memory linkage or other learning strategy.

After minimal instruction on correct finger use, (eg "left pinkie types a"), you type random letters aided only by keyboard and/or finger prompts

Programs only recognize when correct key is typed, not what finger is used

You learn 2-4 keys per lesson. Between lessons, you would need to revert back to 2-finger typing for "real" work
NO random letter typing repetition. You use a quirky sentence to memorize home row keys and association words for top and bottom rows

In around 2 hours, you learn correct finger use. In just 5 minutes, you type 9 words without looking at keyboard, with immediate sense of achievement
You would need technical expertise if program problems develop NO technical expertise necessary. Anyone can use this method
You are "locked" in a typing software program You type in Microsoft Word, as you do in "real" life
