I never bothered to learn how to type properly, so I have been doing a weird hunt and peck variation for literally decades. Back in early september I started learning how to touch type, and keybr tells me my speed then was around 11 wpm (forcing myself to use the correct fingers and not look at the keyboard was brutal!!), and now I am up to 47 wpm which I am feeling pretty solid about. The challenge I have now is that, while I am getting faster doing various lessons and speed tests, everything goes to crap when I start doing some typing off the top of my head in a KZfaq comment or something like that. I'm going to stick with it though and am looking forward to some monkeytype action. I am getting a little bored with keybr and 10fastfingers. This video came right on time!

@markbacon78 3 жыл бұрын

So glad to hear the video found you at a good time! Haha. I totally hear you on the brutality... trying to remap your fingers to the "proper" format takes a while but as you keep practicing the speed naturally builds over time. In terms of the "off the top of the head" thing, that's a really good observation! I hadn't thought of them as different, at least not in-depth. This sort of brings to mind the concept of "type in words" that I sort of touched on in this video. Perhaps if, when taking a test on something like monkeytype (or anything that uses actual words), try focusing on typing out the words instead of each individual letter (i.e. "interest" instead of "i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t"). Maybe as you bridge this gap then typing as you think/speak in your head will improve and even out with the tests? Food for thought I suppose! Super fascinating comment haha. Thanks for stopping by and so glad you got some value from the video 🔥

@michael_harren 3 жыл бұрын

@@markbacon78 oh yeah! I should have commented on the word thing, this made me realize another parallel between touch typing and playing the piano. I am a pianist/teacher and a really good sight reader which has a lot to do with some of the things you talked about in this video as they relate to typing. Instead of reading individual notes on sheet music, I have learned to also recognize patterns - distances between notes, and also chord shapes so that speaks to your suggestion to read words instead of letters. Also, when reading music I learned to read a measure or two ahead of what I am currently playing so I know what’s next. I see that slowly sneaking into my typing too. I’m glad I’m in that habit, and also in the habit of using all of my fingers at the piano. I think that saved me some time with coordination, especially with pinky and ring finger. Anyway, I love your videos. It has been really fun to see other folks’ process too.

@markbacon78 3 жыл бұрын

Oh that’s awesome! I played the piano for about 9 years before heading to school. I’ve wanted to draw on that parallel before but hadn’t heard of it elsewhere so it’s good to corroborate haha. And hey- maybe it helps the other way around! 🔥

Question: If you want to learn touchtype and a different keyboard layout, can one do both at the same time or is it safer to do one before the other?

@markbacon78 3 жыл бұрын

I think if you want to switch layouts, go for it! You can always bring touch typing with you, it'll just be the similar process of learning how to do it in the first place. In other words, you will learn a new layout while learning to touch type _on that layout_... if that makes sense? The best way is to just dive in!

@markbacon78 3 жыл бұрын

The first site that comes to mind would be keybr and, in terms of what works, find something that's comfortable! KeyBR has the "proper" finger mappings (what finger hits what key) so I would take a look at that and see what can cover what (e.g. using middle finger or left pointer to cover what the right pointer would type). Once you find what's comfortable for you, practice practice practice! It might be slower than pecking when it comes to getting used to it, but I'm sure you'll get used to it quickly. All in all, find what works best for you- I hope it all goes well!

My hands move all the time. I use to do the correct method when learning in middle school with a keyboard cover. But I was still slow. My hands move anytime I try to stay in correct path unless I’m looking at the keyboard and that’s cause my index fingers be reaching and crossing over one another for the long to reach letters which moves my end fingers from the original position. I have no Raytheon sometimes my right hand takes over the most keyboard not staying in a particular position. Or they both go back and forth but never stay in uniform. And I go faster that way with less mistakes. But because my hands do this and I work with computers where keyboards are all diffrent in diffrent format I always mess up unless I read a part and then look down or I know what ima type and still look down at my keyboard.

"blinds" as in people who are blind? Websites are inherently a visual thing, so I'm unsure about any that are primarily sound based.

Any website could work, technically, if you have a friend who can read off the feedback. There are two buttons on the F and J keys (QWERTY) that can be used as a guide.

I want to get to 50 wpm speed with shift key capitalisation or words and punctuations. Can you give me an approximate time in which i'll be able to 50 wpm with 2 hours of practice daily

@markbacon78 3 жыл бұрын

I can't give you an exact time because that varies between people. Keep up consistent (and mindful!) practice and you'll get there before you know it. It's not about how much time you practice each day but about how mindful you are when you practice. I've got some other videos on that topic. Keep up the good work! 🔥

Which of these allow for practice offline? I just want to download the software, license, and practice offline. What are your thoughts on NCH Key Blaze (paid version) for beginners? My 20 year old grandson started college last year. I explained that he needs to learn yo type for software engineering.

@markbacon78 6 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if any of them allow for offline usage. MonkeyType might be a good bet. I'm sure there are softwares out there too that are relatively simple, and there are definitely some games out there. I've unfortunately never heard of NCH Key Blaze, but at quick glance it looks a little outdated but additionally I don't think it's necessary. I'm unsure if the two things you mentioned are correlated, but in my opinion downloading software (and more importantly, paying) are relatively unnecessary. Sites like MonkeyType are super lightweight and easy to use. And if your grandson is in college, I think that kind of website- just practice- is the most important thing ultimately. And if it's for yourself, I would make the same argument. That these websites are lightweight enough to use in low-connection environments. Bonus: Here's a cool site that lets you type up code snippets instead of normal text! www.speedtyper.dev/

If you want to improve your speed not only for typing games but for work, I highly recommend to switch on punctuation and capitalisation on those sites as soon as you have the letters down (maybe at about 30 wpm). The bragging high-scores you see all the time are not realistic at all.

I was around 120wpm 8 or so years ago at this point, and went from 140 to about 160 in the span of a month and a half with conscious practice. Over the last 2 years I now average around 170/175 (on typing tests) without really practicing all that much. You'll improve with time, but stay conscientious about how you choose to practice.

I actually just recorded a whole video on how to type as a beginner so that's great timing. That should be up in a few days, but all in all keep up the practice. It's hard to get into things, especially as we're new to them, so continue your practicing. If you're using websites that aren't goal oriented, I would check out some websites that can give you lessons and milestones (typing club, typing academy, etc.) All in all, 8wpm to 19wpm is a great jump! Keep in mind that's progress and improving is a long game. Keep it up 🔥
