Tips for learning Touch Typing
We must know certain tips for learning touch typing. Following are those tips:
Do not type speedily at the early stages of learning. High-speed makes sense only when the fingers
develop the habit of hitting the right keys. Take your time in the learning phase to avoid mistakes. You will
automatically pick up speed as you progress.
You should establish and maintain a rhythm while typing. This means that keystrokes should be made at
equal intervals.
Hit keys only with specific fingers.
imit your hand and finger movement to press only the specific keys.
Keep your hands and fingers close to the base position. This improves typing speed and reduces stress on
the hands.
Don t look at the keys when you type. ust slide your fingers around until they find the home row marking.
Try putting as little pressure on the keys as possible.
To switch between upper/lower case, always use the alternate hands.
