Title: Touch typing. Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, November 2, 2009, 20:01:39 So.
I used to think that I was a bit good at typing. Recently however, my keyboard has become a tad worn and some letters are rubbing off. I know that I can just stop being a lazy cunt and buy a new keyboard but that ain't the point. Anyway. The absence of the "W" "E" "I" and "O" is no biggie, as with not really having an: "A" "S" "G" but the worst are c, v, m, n and m To cut a long one short, it ain't that easy. Can you touch type without seeing the letters first? I will buy a new keyboard soon Title: Re: Touch typing.

My attempt at the alphabet without looking. Title: Re: Touch typing. Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, November 2, 2009, 20:38:44 At some point over the last couple of years I've started touch typing by accident. I didn't realise I was doing it at first until someone commented on it as I was just doing it automatically without thinking about it.

Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, November 2, 2009, 21:31:48 There's touch typing and there's typing without looking. The 2 are somewhat different aren't they? I mean my sister is an unbelievable typist and she's a professional touch typist. You know fingers on the ASDF and JKL thing, shit loads of words per minute and watches the screen, not the keyboard.
I believe i can type fast and accurately without looking, but i primarily use a only 3 or 4 fingers and will allow my hands/fingers to cross to the other side of the keyboard, so therefore i don't consider it touch typing.

Title: Re: Touch typing. Post by: dell boy on Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 08:38:36 I worked in print in my early 20s as a typesetter on a range of machines - Monotype, Photon, Linoterm and Linotron. Pretty fast and accurate in my younger days.
Title: Re: Touch typing. Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 20:11:00 My secretary types at 100 touch typeing whilst listing to my dictation. She is so quick she often actully has to type slower than the speed at which I talk. Also she does types maybe 40-50 letters a day with only maybe two or three mistakes. Fucking brillaint god knows how she does it but when I watch her type I kid you not it looks like superman typing her hands file across the keyboard!
