Today I stumbled upon TypingWeb which is an online tutorial that aims to help improve typing skills. It claims to assist not only in improving typing speeds but do so while correcting bad keyboard habits that most of us have. So this is not just about learning to type without looking at the key board but also about correct hand positioning which focus on training you to type by remembering the muscle movement of your fingers!
I recall trying this many years ago using 'Type Master' software but never had the patience to really try it out properly.
So I gave it a go today and spent many valuable hours practicing typing! Now while I could clearly see how well structured the lessons were as I progressed, I think it would take countless hours of practice and probably not quite worth the effort.
However, since it is easily accessible and freely available and also because I have so much time to spare, I tried out quite a lot of lessons today and I am completely exhausted!
