Type Faster Within a Fortnight
Learn to type faster: To get to a speed of 1000/2000 words per hour.
We think many times that if only we can type a bit faster we can improve our throughput in writing either for freelance work or any thing. Many people take typing tutor courses or practice typing using the typing tutor softwares.
But I haven’t tried anything to acquire this speed. Moreover I used to practice on these softwares before but never observed a substantial improvement in my typing speed.
I think many people will agree on that. I do not blame any software. But what is important our dedication in learning to type faster that matters most in increasing the speed. If one does this with dedication no matter whether you use a typing tutor or directly typing text, you will be surprised with the results within a fortnight.
Let me tell what I have done before my typing speed increased. I started sending emails to my friends everyday regularly at the same time. At the time we were working at different locations and the only way to contact regularly was through emails.
I used to type paragraphs of thoughts without hesitation. I used to type as though I was telling them something. In fact as it became difficult to find words in English I started typing in regional language but with English transliteration.
As I had started doing that without any intent on increasing speed I concentrated only on typing what I have to.
Slowly I was able to put my fingers at the right letter without looking at the keyboard. That increased my speed within a fortnight.
Let me tell you how this works. When you dedicate yourself to type a lot of text, you should concentrate on imagining the characters of each word in sequence before typing them. Initially look at the keyboard and not screen to put in the characters that are coming to your mind in sequence.
Initially you will be able to type characters faster. After some time you will also learn to type certain words without imagining their characters.
So it is a type of pattern recognition and human response. We increase our response speed by imagining the character sequence as we type them.
There is nothing magical that happens in a fortnight. It is only our ability to think, concentrate and dedicate ourselves to typing.
