Hi there. Can I touch type, well, yes I can, and thats mainly due to taking typing back in college as well chatting too... I had the grumpiest typing teacher, and she would walk around us making sure no one was looking at thek keys, and if you were caught, she would whack our desks with her long ruler, until one of the guys in my typing class took her stick and hid it away lol... That was back in the day...

Yes, I can usually type by touch only. Occasionally my fingers will get off track, which can make for some very, uh, interesting words to say the least! But for the most part I am good.
It was not always this way. I used to feel like I had to watch the keyboard in order to type, but once I trained myself to not do this, I found that I started typing a whole lot faster. I have tested as high as the 90s in wpm, but usually I'm around 75 or so.
And I believe that anyone can do it. The only way to become a good typist is to type and practice.

I do not need to look at the keyboard when I type. I learned in middle school how to touch type so since then I have used the technique. It's not that hard to learn, just gotta practice.

It is a software for those who wants to master the typing without lookin into the keyboard. You can buy or even download it for free. As far as I can remember, you need to start from the lowest level which is mastering 3-4 characters at a time. For example, on the window of the application, it says there that you should follow these steps:
asd asd asd asd asd ;lk ;lk ;lk ;kl ;lk
then after you mastered that level, you'll go to the next level with the same procedure. I think it was something like this:
sad das asd sad das asd ;lk kl; k;l ;lk kl; k;l
Then after you finished one level at a time, you can test yourself on typing a paragraph without looking. It doesn't matter if it takes you long to complete a sentence as long as you are learning on every key that you typed. Happy typinG!!!

yes, my work is listing some items and when I type I usually look at the monitor rather than the keyboard. One way of memorizing the keyboard is by looking the monitor always...
