will u type looking at the screen or looking at the key board i look on the keyboard and can type fast but i am trying to do this without looking into the keyboard and now i am able to get the idea of some letters and i need not have to look into the keyboard for typing all the letters and i think i need a lot of practice to become a expert in type writing

haha I can type without looking but not as much as those typing people you see in court. plus I just cannot be bothered to make a mistake and erase it all over again. By the way, I typed this whole thing without looking at the keyboard. I only got 3 mistakes.!

I am a very fast typer. I type 90 words per minute with up to 97% accuracy. I very rarely look at the keyboard. Its funny because I had to drop out of typing class in school because of missing too much school. Yet I'm such a fast typer. :)

I took tuch typing in high school so I am pretty fast at typing. I do sometimes look down at my hands, but mostly I am able to look at the screen while I type.

I studied typing using the querty system years ago... so that was very helpful...then i practiced to enhance my typing skill using the typing tutorial software... so now i type without looking at the keyboard... Knowing how to type using the querty system is considered as a skill since not everybody knows how to do this... but nowadays there is no need to go to school to learn this...softwares are available in the internet...

i generally type at times luking at the keybord and glancing the screen in between.Had you joined the typing institute than the first step thought by them is the placing of the alphabets on the key board..like "Q A Z syndicating your fngers on the left hand" as well as "P L M syndicating the fingers on the righ hand".

I learnt how to touch type when I was 14. That means I don't have to look at the keyboard. Much quicker, but i still make mistakes!
