Analytical Eye Typing Tutor
Typing tutor came about as a result of my school's network moving from RM Net LM to RM connect, and subsequently the old typing tutor which was written in BBC basic which ran emulated on the Net LM network no longer functioned. The original concept and implementation for the program was undertaken in about 3 evenings, however this version has had a considerable number of bug fixes included. Typing Tutor can be used on a Standalone PC, and other Networking environments (however no support for the product can be guaranteed).
