Touch typing skill
● If you are not familiar with it, touch typing is the ability to type with all your fingers
and without the need to look at the keyboard as you go.
● Why touch typing? Because typing is where we spend most of our time these
days, and even small improvements on your typing speed will translate into huge
productivity gains.
● How to learn touch typing?
● Firstly, you can make a test to see how fast you can currently type
(speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com) also this one is useful to track your
progress.
● After that, you have to know the starting finger positions; each finger is placed on its own
key.
Place your fingertips as in the picture. This is the basic position for touch typing (is called
"home row". Once a key is pressed remember to put your fingers back on the
home row. This will help you to stop looking at the keyboard).
You can find this position without even looking at the keyboard. Feel the bumps on the F
and J keys, and place your "pointing" finger of each hand on those keys.
● From here it is possible to easily reach all the other keys. For example, the finger on the
letter "D" is used for the letters "E" and "C". The finger that rest on the "F" can also
reach "R-T-G-B" and "V".
● Accuracy and speed are the two measures of a good typist. It will be helpful to you to
measure your speed periodically as you practice.
Tips for success :
When you practice typing - don't look at the keyboard -
not even a quick peek! Look only at the screen.
The basic position can be easily found without looking
at the keyboard - feel the bumps on 'F' and 'J'.
