anonymous · Answer

My teacher in ComTech mentioned about touch typing, he said it increases your speed. I tried getting used to placing my fingers on the ASDF and JKL to increase my speed but it is really difficult for me. He said once we learned it, we'll less likely to glance at the keyboard characters. I'm using the normal typing. wait, am I mentioning the right thing ? xD

tips: train yourself to type quickly while still looking at the keyboard, then ask someone to hold a piece of paper over your hands as you type, they can remove the paper when you absolutely have to check, but eventually do it so you can type without looking

touch typing - my default unless I need to type numbers or symbols. when doing so I glance down to make sure I'm not off by one.

inkyvoyd · Answer

with a few typing lessons and some practice, touch typing is far, far faster than whatever normal typing is - to me normal typing is staring at a monitor making sure what you've typed is correct while typing something. Although, sometimes when I'm copying stuff say from a printed text, I look at the text instead.
