What is your best advice to increase typing speed?
Hi Vickie,
Many people think that speed is more important than technique, but technique is 80% of the process, and focusing on speed is just 20%.
Any good typing course will first focus on improving your touch typing technique and accuracy, and only then move on to helping you improve your speed. Spend a few days learning the basic touch typing techniques before you start worrying about speed. Include ergonomics as well as hand and finger placement.
