Read More »Here's an embarrassing fact: I mainly use about six fingers to type, despite years of home key drilling and touch typing skill tests in my middle school Business Tech classes. I can get along at a pretty respectable 80 words per minute, but I just never picked up the habit of ten-finger touch typing. Even as I type this article right now, I'm really only using my thumb, index, and middle finger of each hand as I type, with my right pinky occasionally flaring out to hit return and my left pinky hitting the shift key when I need to capitalize something. I rarely rest my middle finger on the home keys, my right hand jumps way over into the left side of the keyboard at will, and my ring finger rides the pine during the all this, doing nothing but watching as all the other fingers get all the glory. Luckily, science is here to help me feel better about about my janky typing methods. A new study from Aalto University says it's not the number of fingers we use while typing, but how we use them.

If you practise regularly and don't give up, you should be able to learn to touch type fluently in 2-3 months, maybe even less. A total of 10 – 15 hours of practice should get you touch typing slowly.
It depends on a number of factors, for example how long you have been using a keyboard and how long have you been typing using your current method. The amount of time you spend practising in the Typequick course and how frequently you practise is also significant. Practising ‘little and often’ (15 -30 minutes a day) works much better than an hour or more once a week. If you practise regularly and don’t give up, you should be able to learn to touch type fluently in 2-3 months, maybe even less. A total of 10 – 15 hours of practice should get you touch typing slowly. Once you are touch typing, spend time practising in Typequick’s speed and accuracy challenges to increase your performance. Once you have learned to touch type with Typequick, switch over to your new touch-typing skill as soon as you can in your everyday use of the computer and stick with it, even if at first you think you are slower than when typing your old way. It won’t take long before your speed and accuracy increases and you reap the benefits from your newly developed skill.
