Learning to type faster and more accurately is one of the best skills you can build — whether you're a student, freelancer, or office worker. Here are five practical tips to help you get started:
Don’t worry about speed in the beginning. Concentrate on hitting the right keys. Once accuracy becomes second nature, speed will naturally follow.
Typing is like learning an instrument. Just 5–10 minutes a day is enough to build muscle memory over time.
Try to keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF / JKL;) and avoid "hunt-and-peck" typing. It might feel slower at first, but it pays off in the long run.
This is key to touch typing. Force yourself to look only at the screen — even if you make mistakes at first.
Use typing tests (like the ones on this site) to measure your WPM and accuracy over time. It's motivating to see your improvement!
