What is Touch Typing

Touch typing is the ability to type without looking at the keyboard, being a touch typist allows you to work faster, to concentrate on what you are doing rather than hunting for keys, and, to someone who can't touch type it makes you look an absolute professional when your fingers fly over the keyboard at lightning speed while you are looking elsewhere.

Learning to type correctly is a skill that you can master, it requires correct instruction to learn, a little discipline to get started and then plenty of practice to improve your speed and accuracy.

How does Touch Typist work?

Touch Typist typing tutor first shows you the correct position for your hands and fingers before you start on the first of 201 lessons. The lessons, consisting initially of only two letters gradually introduce more keys and words using the keys covered so far, increasing in complexity until all the letters have been taught. Once the keyboard has been covered, the rest of the lessons are designed to present you with word and letter combinations which ensure that learning takes place.

The idea behind Touch Typist was to produce a guaranteed way to learn good keyboard skillswithout being boring, gaving the user lots of feedback and at the same time, make the user want to progress through the course and learn this valuable skill.

This was done by making the lessons short, by giving the user lots of feedback after each lesson and encouraging you to have 'Just one more go'. The results of each lesson are used by Touch Typist to to set targets for the user, move them back a few lessons if they are struggling, and to produce the many graphs and charts in the software.

After completing all 201 lessons, the job of improving speed, and more important, accuracy, starts. The software directs the user to work on lessons which have caused the most problems until those problems are sorted out. You will learn without getting bored due to the large amount of feedback presented by the software.

In Touch Typist typing tutor, the user is given the ability to 'own' their progress through the many graphs which are used to inspire practice and development during the learning and skill building phases.

There are many graphs and reports in Touch Typist, the

The Benefits Of Being A Touch Typist

Learning to touch type using a typing tutor will save you hours of wasted time looking at the keyboard, you may not at the moment even be aware of the thinking time you waste ensuring your fingers press the correct keys. Being able to touch type frees you to get on with whatever job you are doing while the typing seems to happen simply by you thinking about what you want to appear. The process of typing becomes something that happens in the background without any conscious thought for how the letters arrive on the screen. Touch typing is a skill which will speed up not only letter writing, but all your computer use, data entry will be faster, you will seem more professional to others who are impressed at how you never need to look at the keyboard while you type. Writing emails will take a fraction of the time it currently takes, as a result you will be able to spend more time doing what you want to do on the computer.

Is it easy to learn Touch Typing?

Software cannot teach you without any effort on your part, typing is not a skill you can buy and install. Your first lessons will seem like a backward step as you start to work on building your accuracy. You will learn to put accuracy first and develop speed later. It takes about two hours to cover the whole keyboard, the rest of your practice can then be used to develop speed and accuracy. You can see that although we provide the tool to create or develop your typing skills, it can't be done without you agreeing to learn, but then if you didn't want to learn, you wouldn't be here at this website.
