PCSpeedDialer 2005
$0 - MySoCo.com

PCSpeedDialer 2005 is a hotkey utility.

Does this sound familiar: You are typing a letter and need to check a spreadsheet for some figures. You have to take your hands off the keyboard, grab the mouse, click on the Start menu, go to the 'All Programs' item, look for a folder, then a shortcut and click it. Now you can use your spreadsheet software to check those figures.

Now imagine this: You are typing a letter and need to check a spreadsheet for some figures. You press a key combination on your keyboard that you choose earlier, let's say 'Ctrl' and 'Shift' and 'S', and PCSpeedDialer 2005 launches your spreadsheet software for you. You check those all important figures.

No doubt the second scenario sounds a whole lot more appealing!

PCSpeedDialer 2005 allows you to configure any key combination on your keyboard to instantly open any file, document, web site or application on your computer. The hotkeys that PCSpeedDialer 2005 creates are global to your computer meaning that you can use them at ANY time, no matter what you are doing on your computer.

PCSpeedDialer 2005 Features:
- Configure any key combination to open any file, document, web site or application;
- Specify additional parameters for opening applications (advanced users);
- Integrates with Windows Explorer to provide easy right-click access for adding hotkeys;
- Use the On-Screen Notification to see information about a hotkey every time the hotkey is used.

PCSpeedDialer 2005 is recommended for all levels of computer users.

Animated Beginning Typing
$14 - Flix Productions

Is designed for young typists (grades Pre-K to 3rd), and teaches proper typing technique for the letter keys. Sound effects and animation are used to make learning to type fun (and funny). Help is given with an animated tutorial, a screen to show proper fingering, and an on-screen keyboard which highlights the correct key when needed.

There are three games in the program. "Jumping Letters" is designed for very young students, and can be played at any pace. Each correctly typed letter is rewarded with the letter being removed by an animated "critter" chosen by the pupil. When 10 letters are completed (context- sensitive help insures success), the child gets a silly cartoon.

"Letter Drill" allows students to choose between 20 and 120 letters to practice. A report is generated at the end of the practice showing words per minute, errors, and time. The last letter in the sequence is removed in a silly way by a "critter", then the pupil is rewarded with a cartoon.

"Flying Letters" is an arcade style game for advanced typists. The speed of the game is determined by the player (and can be changed at any time during the game). A report is generated at the end of the game, and a funny animation is displayed.

All three games allow the student to choose a group of letters (such as left hand home keys), or to practice all 26 letters. The animation in the program is achieved using stop-motion animation, as well as other techniques.
