Hi!

With great typing skills you can significantly boost your professional status. A person who touch types with ease and speed appears much more confident and knowledgeable — even if these are not necessarily correlated with touch typing efficiency.

Hello, @ibrahimmccoy!

Not having to look at the keys is a game changer for typing efficiency. The time saved through good typing skills is beneficial to your employer, too, making you a better employee!

I’d also like to add that learning proper posture and hand positioning through the program will help to reduce the threat of nerve damage from overuse. While this is important for your health, your employer will appreciate this, too!
