How to learn to type really fast on Keyboard

Today is the world of technology. Technology has made the life of people really fast and with it the need of  hard work for those people who wants to catch the technology has also increased. If you are slow in anything, it will be difficult for you to survive. I remember my days in the beginning of engineering when my typing was slow, I was always behind in every work. I knew the algorithms the theory, but while programming or testing a work, my hands move very slow and I could not catch with other  guys. If similar is your story or you just want to type fast, read below and implement it.

Well, brain in needed in every part of our life now a days. All tools you need to have to learn typing faster are

• A computer system (monitor, Keyboard)
• Memory power
• Will to learn

There are a few steps you need to take which are listed below.

1. Select the proper keyboard

   There are many types of keyboards available in the market. Even layouts of the keys are different in some extent. You should select a proper keyboard for your practice. Changing from one keyboard to another will certainly confuse you in the early stage. Once you are comfortable in one, then it won't be a great problem. Even the hardness of keys could also disturb you in learning. Don't choose too small keyboard with small keys. Use a moderate size keyboard. Select particular type of keyboard and stick to it.
   

2. Make a rule for your hand placement

   Whenever you put your hand over the keyboard, place it in a particular way. Not having any particular standard, will not help you and sooner or later you will have to make a rule to yourself about that. I usually place my forefingers on the keys 'f' and 'j' and all other fingers sequentially on the same key row. Most keyboards also have a mark on the two keys to put your forefingers.
   

3. Memorize finger vs key

   Most people have the habit of using their forefingers to press every keys in the beginning because they find it easier. What I mean by finger vs key is that you should use particular finger to deal with a particular set of key. For example. I use the left forefinger to press the key set (f,r,t,g,c,v). Don't use the fore fingers to press every keys in the beginning because you will never progress by this habit. First practice to use particular finger to press unique set of keys. Later you can overlap the sets according to the world.
   

4. Use a good Typing tutor software

   There are lots of free as well as non-free software to practice typing. Use any one of them and practice a lot. Practice for a few days, then rest for a few days then again check. You can also chat with people on the internet or play 3d games with cheats to type on them, which really helps to increase your speed. Don't feel discouraged in the beginning. It takes few months before you really start feeling some different according your dedication, and ability.
   
   

Even though you feel that you are slower in the beginning, practice from all your fingers and give enough time to memorize your finger-key mapping. You will get better and better. Best of luck.
