Definition - What does Touch Typing mean?

Touch typing is a method of typing without the use of the sense of sight, or simply by feeling the keyboard. However, the sense of touch is only slightly involved since this typing method is governed by muscle memory through rigorous training with the proper typing method. This way, the fingers get so used to typing that they instinctively go to the appropriate keys without the typist needing to see or even feel around the keyboard.

• You will acquire many benefits by learning to touch type. Your typing speed is likely to double saving you a lot of time. The accuracy will also improve dramatically - you can say goodbye to those annoying typing errors.

• With fluent keyboarding skills you can put your brain power into expressing your thoughts instead of finding the right keys. What's more, efficient finger movements and no need to look at the keyboard results in less stress in fingers, arms and neck.
