              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.
