What is touch typing?

Touch typing, or blind typing as some calls it, means that you type without looking at the keyboard. To learn to do that finger position is very important. When you type you must use specific fingers for the same keys all the time as illustrated at the image above. If you don't do that you will soon loose your orientation and make mistakes.

How about dyslexics?

A danish study has established that when kids learn how to type, their reading skills are improved. This is true even for dyslexic kids.

What if I don't do all the exercises?

Well you will under all circumstances be faster just from doing some of the exercises, as you will be able to find the keys much faster. Thusly it is better to do some basic exercises than none at all.

Do I have to start with the first typing exercise?

Not necessarily. When you hold the mouse over 'Choose lesson' you can see which keys the particular lesson is training. You can then start with the tutorial you think is the right for you. Be careful not to be optimistic about your current ability as it will lead to a too steep learning curve.

Do you have kids?

Well, then you can reward your kid for every lesson the kid has done at en error percentage at one and perhaps an extra reward for a flawless exercise. Your kid's school work will most probably benefit from being an apt typist.
