How to increase typing speed on a computer

1. Learn good technique first Learn where the keys are and which fingers should be used for each key. Also use good body and arm/hand positioning - good ergonomics. This will be the basis for long term good typing habits. 2. Repetition - repetition - repetition Automatic movements are only developed through plenty of repetition and practice. Muscles and joints learn position in space and movement patterns through continuous movement in the patterns to be learned. Every athlete and sportsman knows that regardless of talent, practice is what makes the body work well. 3. Don't look No matter how tempted you are, once you have learned the correct finger placement and which fingers to use for specific keys, practice typing without looking. Being tempted to look at your fingers reduces the motor training effect, and relies more heavily on vision for finding the correct keys rather than the kinesthetic 'muscle and sensory' senses of the fingers. Developing good speed will be significantly hindered if vision is used. This is true of the whole typing process, since looking at the keyboard results in the visual shift from keyboard to screen to paper documents, thus reducing the efficiency of typing in all ways. 4. Be disciplined! This point cannot be emphasized enough. Instead of focusing on accuracy of key hits, rather work on your SPEED during this second phase of training. You can make corrections later, but for now, work on getting your speed up without looking! Put a towel over your hands if necessary.
