Mavis Beacon pretty much rules the roost. Damned good program, I think I learned typing on it.

Although I started learning to type on the typing programs, one thing i found really useful to get into touch typing was visualization. I used to visualize everything that was being said or thought of by me onto a projected keyboard as if I were typing it. Within a few weeks i was touch typing like an expert, it works a charm
