 Can you recommend me a typing trainer? I have never learned how to type blindly, and I want to improve my speeds. Monkeytype is cool, but it's more of a testing rig rather than an actual trainer. I would like to use one that would tell me the fingers to use to type letters. A desired extra would be support for numbers and symbols. 8 comments
@kytta I can't recommend a typing trainer, for me it was too late, I was too fast using my own system to reap the benefits of re-learning... What I have heard over and over though: try to get an unprinted keyboard, so your fingers get used to orientate using the two "blobs" on f and j alone @schnittchen An unprinted keyboard doesn't help, because I have memorized the key locations with my eyes (but not my fingers). So, paradoxically, I can type on an unlabeled keyboard, but I can't type without looking down on the keys :D  @kytta https://www.typingclub.com/ that helps me a lot right now to switch over from DE to US layout.  @kytta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Typing_of_the_Dead 😅 That's where I learned the most! @kytta Back in the 90s my school used this to teach us the home row and which finger to use for various keys. https://www.atrtonline.com/index.html |
