Typing tips, how to make less mistakes while typing

Touch typing

Touch typing is typing without looking at the keyboard. The idea is to teach your fingers the location of each keys. The F and J keys have a raised bar or a dot allowing your finger to identify them. Once you have placed your two indexes on those keys, the other fingers are placed on the keys next to them.

In order to type fast you have to be careful about which finger to use to press a key. Take a look at the drawing below. Each color match a finger. For example the left index is light green and has to type only the light green keys.

My tip to improve your typing speed is to... find a right way of brain-finger coordination. There is a difference in distances in a sense of the coordination, for instance, between te and th; so people make a lot of errors with teh, not the. KEYHERO does not help with that. This site is nothing but practice, which could be happening in our computer task, or chatting. So, I recommend to find a new way; do not waste too much time here. No improvement when I look at the graphs of most players.

I got a new keyboard... I had a notebook and I kept hitting other keys and had to back space, got a mac and now I'm good. My typing speed has stayed the same... This is as fast as I'm gonna get. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

That's a lie. You said two days ago that nothing helped improve your typing speed because it has stayed the same but if you look your recent speed is 45 WPM and your old speed is 36 WPM. Not really "huge" or what you might have expected but you just keep it up and you'll get faster, I promise. I'm a doctor.
