Dick Ainsworth created the original Typing 
Tutor  software over 30 years ago. 
This first educational program for the personal computer was marketed by both Microsoft and IBM. This program also introduced the interval timing and user modeling technology 
that eliminates looking at keys, assures correct fingering, and trains 
writing skills. 
Today, Ainsworth & Partners offers two complete software systems focusing on keyboard 
training and number keypad training. Our exclusive Hands-On! software continuously monitors hand position during typing lessons or 
drills and warns instantly if hands are not on the home row keys. This 
eliminates the major reason people look at the keyboard when learning 
to type. Instead of covering the keyboard or using continuous finger diagrams 
and other visual distractions, our software avoids "home row" problems through better instructional design.
Adaptive lessons measure individual dexterity and automatically set the pace of the lessons 
to match each person - from students with special needs to adults. The 
software senses these subtle differences and sets a pace that's ideal 
for each person. This allows anyone to learn to type accurately and well, 
at whatever speed is appropriate.
After the correct fingering is mastered, Prescription 
Drills eliminate even minor hesitations and any tendency to 
glance down at the keyboard. Slower keys are detected and corrected automatically 
with tailored computer-generated exercises. The goal is to create on-screen 
composition skills that allow people to write as fast and as well as they 
think.
Our typing games are far more than just entertainment. The Type-Oh! games may be combined 
with lessons and drills at any time for additional practice, for speed 
building, or just as an alternate way to learn. We use keyboard data from 
the games to identify and automatically correct even minor hesitations 
that will later interfere with writing and composition.
Typing 
tests evaluate and document progress with our test materials 
or yours. Our exclusive Best Performance Index measures actual proficiency 
in addition to reporting speed and accuracy scores. Your custom tests 
can be added at any time. Reports are also available on demand for 
printout and for instructor or student review.
Typing to write enrichment programs expand keyboarding beyond simply typing to include 
on-screen composition and writing skills. Both programs below are included 
in the Ainsworth Keyboard Trainer:
Conversation Piece trains typing 
and thinking at the same time. This interactive, on-screen typed conversation 
is highly personal and fun. This program elevates t
