What is the best way to learn how to type quicker

Question

I'm learning how to type using a keyboard called Dvorak and want to learn quick. any suggestions

Answer 1

Type as much as you can. Be on the computer a lot. If you have friends with AIM or MSN or something get it and type to them. Basically just type a lot!

Theres this old game called typing of the dead. If you can find it, buy it. Basically there are zombies and they are attacking and a word will pop up and you have to type it as fast as you can or the zombie will hurt you. Sounds stupid, but its a fun game! They have it for dreamcast and PC.

go on aim and chat a lot

Answer 3

Although there are thousands of computer games or programs that can help you type faster, the best method is going to be practice. : )

Just like with every thing else, if you do it enough, you will eventually develop a personal style that will help you more along with what you're trying to do.

Good luck though. : D

Hi,

This is a good way to practice. Open one website (maybe a news site, maybe a story on youtube that somebody tells) and on the other half of your screen open Microsoft word or notepad.

As you are reading or listening try to copy the content in your mind and type it on the second screen without looking at the keyboard.

There are softwares out there to speed up your performance but I don't really belive in them. You need to look straight and type without looking at your hands

Hope this helps
