Answer 2

It takes a lot of discipline to move from hunt-and-peck to real touch typing. If you're good at huning and pecking, you are probably typing 20-30 words a minute now, with few mistakes. When you try to switch to touch-typing, you're much slower and make a lot of mistakes. It feels like you've had a stroke!

"Mavis Beacon" is the software I used, and it's still around and very good. Maybe you can find an old copy for free in a library or from a friend. The trick is that you've got to (A) practice with it every day, until you're better at touch-typing than looking at the keyboard (then you'll never look at the keyboard again) and (B) force yourself not to look at the keys in the meantime. At one point, I made a little cardboard cover for the keyboard that had room for my hands, but I couldn't see through. That helped break me of the habit.

Answer 3

Try the way they teach in typing classes. Print out a copy of the keyboard to keep near you while typing. Put a sticker over the key labels (works best if you can get a spare cheap keyboard). Now type will glancing at the cheat sheet of the keyboard. Jot down what your error rate is.

That will get you out of the habit of constantly looking at the keys themselves. Your goal is to be able to get rid of the cheat sheet and then go back to a keyboard without covered-keys.

Answer 4

You can always go to the old standby of "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" software. I found, myself, though, that having a copy of the keyboard placed near the monitor helped, so I could get used to looking up at it, and using that rather than looking at the actual keys as I was typing. You also might just want to learn a couple letters at a time.

I remember when I took typing class in high school, we had to memorize the middle row as well as the placement of our fingers along that row. Your left hand should have your index finger of F, middle finger on D, ring finger on S and your pinkie on A. Your right hand should have your index finger on J, middle on K, ring on L and pinkie on ;. Once you memorize that row, move on to the top row. Then bottom row. You will need to tackle this one group at a time.

Answer 6

Hands on home row, fashion a box to cover the keyboard so you can't look, or cover them in some other way and practice. If you can't do it on your own, no computer program is going to teach you how to do it without looking! I don't think we're to the point yet in which the computer can slap your wrist if you look down!

Answer 7

You don't need a program, you DO need to practice. Even the most proficient typist needs daily practice. Don't practice on a computer, use a typewriter if you can find one.

Try a thrift store to find an old electric, or even a manual one. Maybe your local library has a public one you can practice on.

Don't go for speed, concentrate on accuracy first. Speed will develop later naturally.

Answer 8

Try playing around and type simple sentences and word:
I ran
Dog run
House
The dog ran home
The

Get familiar with the keys you are using and trust your instinct.
Don't doubt yourself when it comes to typing stuff out.
Everyone makes mistakes and while typing this, I mispelled several words and had to use backspace several times. :)

No one is perfect!

Answer 10

You can download a typing tutor from lots of sites - Google it. You really have to know how - then do it a lot. You can't do it by guesswork not is there some trick to it, I'm afraid you just have to learn. It's a bugger, but there you are!
