Visual Keyboard and Finger Guidance
A difficulty in learning to type touch typing is knowing which finger to press on which key. The visual keyboard and hand guidance will make sense of the required finger motion. The on-screen keyboard will show you which key is next to press. The hand shape indicates which finger to use to press this key.
This is particularly helpful for those who are new to typing, as they tend to stare at the keyboard during their typing. Using the visual cues you can practice identifying important positions and bringing your fingers back to home row. As you get more comfortable with the layout, you will be able to remember more of the keys, and less look at one to find the next.
Improve Your Typing Speed and Accuracy
Learn how to type quickly and accurately. If you find yourself typing quickly but making a lot of mistakes, it will take longer since you will have to back up a lot to fix mistakes. Typing gives you a chance to focus on proper typing and continuous improvement. You can practice at your own speed and gradually increase your typing fluency as you go.
Words per minute (WPM) is a common measurement of typing speed. The measure of how accurately you type the sentences you are given. These two measurements can lets you to learn about the performance and what you can do better.
Do not rush to get a high WPM, rather get into good typing habits first. Once you are comfortable with the finger movements, you can start to practice speeding up your fingers.

Why Is Regular Typing Practice Important?
Typing is a practical skill that is used by many people on a daily basis. It might be required to send emails, do assignments, make reports, type information, etc. or to talk online. Searching for each key will take longer, as will typing, and will disturb concentration. You will get to know the positions on the keyboard and the movements of your fingers with learning touch typing.
To improve your typing skills, practice typing regularly:
- Recognise key positions more easily.
- Develop consistent finger placement.
- Minimize retyping errors.
- Make typing long texts more comfortable.
- Develop confidence in numbers and symbols.
- Workshop, School, and Coding Text.
- Practice towards personal typing target.
The outcome will vary based on the starting position, practice regimen and the ability and skill sets you concentrate on. Regular working sessions of short duration can enable you to practise regularly without it becoming too overwhelming.
Our Approach to Improving Typing Skills
We encourage the students to work on accuracy rather than speed. This method will make it easier for you to establish yourself and stop you from practicing the same errors over and over.
Beginning players should go through the First Step Lessons. Memorize the home row (base position) and practice the home row keys before going to different rows of the keyboard. When you are comfortable, move on to word exercises and exercises with realistic typing passages. Data entry, student, job, IELTS or coding practice is available as well. Practice as much as possible, but do not try for a long session and then not do anything for a few days. Focussed practice for 10-15 minutes can provide you with useful repetition.
Focus on those keys that are most error-prone. Repeat the right exercises and work for speed and accuracy. As the confidence improves, one could start slowly to increase the speed at which they type. Keep in mind that people learn in a variety of different ways. The idea is to improve your own typing, not to keep track of everyone's!

FAQs
Typing speed is generally about 40 words per minute (WPM) which depends on user experience and typing purpose. Typing speed varies from beginner to professional typist, with experienced typists being able to type at 60 wpm or more. A general goal for office work is 40-60 WPM. But accuracy is as crucial as speed when it comes to typing. Both can be improved with regular typing of the keyboard.
