What is touch Typing
Touch typing is a method of typing on a computer keyboard or typewriter where you type without having to look at the keys. Instead of hunting and pecking for keys, touch typists use a specific finger for each key and rely on muscle memory to type accurately and quickly. Here are some key features of touch typing:
- Hand Position: Touch typists maintain a specific hand position on the keyboard, with their fingers resting on the “home row” keys. For English keyboards, these keys are ASDF for the left hand and JKL; for the right hand.
- Finger Placement: Each finger is responsible for a set of keys. For example, the index fingers handle the F and J keys, while the other fingers reach for nearby keys. This allows for efficient and quick typing without looking at the keyboard.
- Muscle Memory: Touch typists develop muscle memory over time, which enables them to know where each key is located without looking. This muscle memory is built through practice and repetition.
- Typing Speed: Touch typists can achieve higher typing speeds compared to individuals who use the hunt-and-peck method because they don’t need to visually locate each key before pressing it.
- Accuracy: Touch typing generally leads to higher typing accuracy because typists are not focused on finding keys, reducing the likelihood of typographical errors.
- Ergonomics: Touch typing encourages a more ergonomic typing posture, as users keep their wrists straight and fingers relaxed, which can reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries.
