What is your typing technique?
By marc3 - posted: 12 years, 5 months ago
Well, I don't actually touch type. I have my own little messed up way of doing it. My right hand does nearly all of the work, while my left hand only handles the letters u-p, j-l, n, and m. I always use my left thumb for space, and I only use the right shift key. Don't restrict your fingers to only using certain keys, just use whichever one is closest.

I type by sentence. when I'm doing a quote I really like and believe in it's easier to type then something you disagree with .

To be honest, typing is simple. All you have do is recognize where the keys are and read the words that you are typing. Just FOCUS!

Touch Typing with 11 fingers is my technique. ;)

I use both of my hands but the right handside does the most work

En mi caso me interesa ejercitar en distintos idiomas a los efectos de fortalecer mi conocimiento del teclado y sumar la posibilidad de maximizar la velocidad mas allá de entender la lengua que escriba. Como beneficio colateral me ayuda a recordar aquella lengua que alguna vez estudié y con las otras entreno la digitación, semejante a la lectura de una partitura de música, pero sin el sonido agradable del piano.

Use touch and type method. This is the only method we could increase the speed of typing up to no limit. The arrangement of keys to those fingers are well calculated. There is no other choice of arrangements the allocation of keys to fingers. Any other style has limit. At a particular time the maximum speed achieves, further speed achievement is difficult. This is my opinion only.

If you are a beginner use Touch and Type method
By user22032 - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
Learn your keys and then...Practice, practice, practice.
By 20siuth2 - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
When I was like you guys I always pratice and praticeso then I used a touch typing and then I became clever and clever.So if you want to go to learn how to type then you will need to go to touch typing.
By user22124 - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
Type a lot, all the time, every day, about everything, just because you can.
By user22124 - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
I guess when I type I mainly use all my fingers and both thumbs except my pinkies... pinkies I only use for Enter and sometimes period or other...

1: Learn the correct technique for finger placment. This is the hardest step.
2: Learn to type without having to look at your keyboard.
3: Learn to type more accurately and speed will follow. This is a difficult rule to follow but a very rewarding one.
By abhipriya - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
speed and accuracy are the key
By poeticdemon - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
using me finger methinks is my technique
By brown_leaf - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
Speed and Accuracy is key. I'm working on it.
By myatteriot - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
1. no chicken pointing typing or whatever it is...... just feel the keyboard like a musical interments, your fingers just glide across

Use gloves. It feels much smoother when you type.

I am learning touch typing with Dvorak software setting and QWERTY hardware. I cant cheat by looking at the keyboard. I'm still slow but I like Dvorak better!

I can never improve.
By marlenas - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
Try to relax and take your time. I don't know how far along you are with touch typing, but it takes times to learn the keyboard layout. My typing teacher suggested to focus on accuracy first (knowing where the letters are). After that, your speed will come. Practice everyday if you can. For me, that's how I don't blank out on testing. I hope this input helps. I think you can do it! If I can, you can... believe me!

sometimes i am on fire 35 plus ( an old man Iam happy ) then sometimes I am lucky to make it to 24 ... I don't get it ... I get very cranky ! ..If you have any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
By zephyr_crucible - posted: 12 years, 3 months ago
Yes, there's ABC which arranges the keys in alphabetical order. QWERTY is optimized for the english language putting the most frequently used keys in easiest reach and least frequently used further away. It's a letter puzzle designed to type fastest.

Am I the only one who constantly uses caps lock for Upper Case Words Instead Of Shift? c wut i did thar?
By user23284 - posted: 12 years, 2 months ago

By anavrod10 - posted: 12 years, 2 months ago
I'm not sure. pretty much terrible
By sweetiejenjen - posted: 12 years, 2 months ago
take it slow and learn the proper typing technique. Speed will come when the techniques are slowly mastered. And being in high school, we type a lot of essays on a daily basis, so that's also extra practice (:
By sweetiejenjen - posted: 12 years, 2 months ago
I used to do that to when I first started learning how to type. However, the shift key will be a lot better unless you just want to type an entire sentence in CAPS. Now, I mostly use my right shift because it feels funny to use my left pinky.
By user23337 - posted: 12 years, 2 months ago
I think about what I am typing and the keys on the keyboard.
By elefanthands - posted: 12 years, 2 months ago
lo que realmente me ayudo fue practicar hasta que mis dedos comenzaban a sangrar! ;)

Music, and tune out. All the way. Just look at the letters.
By aeristes - posted: 12 years, 2 months ago
Sometimes I don't even look at the screen I stare off into the distance and let my fingers do all the work. I'll read a sentence or phrase and let the hand catch up as I focus on the wall beyond my screen,

By amandafoxxxy696 - posted: 12 years, 2 months ago
I never properly learned any finger placement and i just now found out that the shift button would capitalize letters,,,that should give you an idea of how far behind i truly am:(
