Speed typing is a one of the professionalism skill that they only can do.
Did you know that speed typing
is usually can do of a professional in typing only?
Professional typist usually
types with a speed of 50 to 80 words per minute. More pressing typing jobs
demand a speed of 80 to 95 words per minute. Advanced typist type with a speed
of 120 words per minute and even above that.
Then did you know that a person
can do types more than a professional typist can do per minute.
216 words in one minute was the
highest ever typing speed reached by Stella Pajunas in 1946. She is belonging
to the Guinness Book of record because of that kind of skill.
When I am practicing in my
typing, I spent a lot of time to memorize the basic position of my hands, the
proper way of typing and trying to get or memorize the words out as quickly as
possible. I try also to type very quickly and in the same time not looking in
the keyboard, but it causes dozens of typos. It's more important is to get
comfortable with the keyboard and try to type 65 words or more every minute or
else try any apps that help you to improve your typing skills.
Hand position is an important part of typing. If you’re
learning computers later in life, that hand position may not come totally
naturally to you. That’s OK! A lot of people who aren’t confident in their
typing skills tend to type using a method called the ‘hunt and peck.’ This
maneuver is when a person scans the keyboard for the correct letter they’re
looking to add before sharply tapping the keyboard with a single finger. This
repeats until the typing is done or the person’s coworkers file a formal
complaint.
There’s no shame if this is where you’re starting.
However, learning to type with your hands in the proper position will allow
your fingers to reach multiple keys much more quickly and will help increase
your typing speed exponentially.
While typing, your thumbs should be resting on the space
bar. The four fingers on your right hand should be touching the H, J, K, and L
keys and the four fingers on your left hand should be touching the A, S, D, and
F keys. Make a note of where the heels of your palms are, and try not to move
them more than half an inch when you’re extending your fingers to reach keys on
the keyboard.
I suggest a short phrase in
the English language that contains every letter of the alphabet: “the quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog.” I recommend that you learn to type this without looking,
because once you do you will know by virtue of having that sentence memorized
where every letter of the alphabet is on the keyboard. It’s an odd trick, but
an effective one.
You can
also set a specific goal to improve your typing. A few sample goals could be to
pass a specific test at over 65 words per minute, type an entire word without
looking, or transcribe dictations of 5+ minutes with fewer than 5 errors.
Whatever being a better and faster typist means to you, setting a clear goal
and achieving it by progressing through specific benchmarks will make it happen
.
The most obvious typing tip
that anyone can give you is to practice, practice, practice. However, because I
prefer giving specific and immediately useful advice, I have a few great typing
tests, games, and lessons that I used when I was trying to increase my typing
speed:
