TypeFaster for Windows

After seeing a colleague touch typing at an incredible speed, I vowed I would teach myself to do the same. I found TypeFaster tedious because it made the previously unused fingers ache and in the early stages, because the lessons had not imparted enough to actually use what you had learned for your everyday typing needs, you went back to your old method. Besides which, you could type faster that way!After two attempts and for expediency, reverting back to my old habits, I found myself dropping the practice sessions. Finally, determination and a reduction in the need for high speed typing in the immediate future, I vowed I would resume and complete the lessons. I made steady progress by forbidding myself to not proceed to the next lesson till I had achieved 20 WPM with an accuracy of 95%. Discipline paid off and I can now touch type almost as fast as I could previously but with complete confidence that my new touch typing skills will soon have me typing much faster than with my old method.I recommend the program but insist that you must exercise discipline to make it work for you. The only criticism is the lack of a volume control for the odd time you may want to run another audio stream while doing your practice sessions.

FOR FAST TYPING WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE KEY BOARD AND FOR THE BETTER SPEED OF TYPING

not happy at the moment. I tried to download it, but after installing it on my pc the shortcut is not on the desktop and TypeFast could not be found to be opened and started

One of the best learn touch- typing programs available for free.. It's a great program, it knows exactly in which order and how many times a key has to be repeated so that learning is optimized. The lessons are fun in a subtle way and it has a German layout too which is just what I needed. Very much recommend this program.

Mostly really good. I like this program a lot. I found it very useful as someone who can already type fairly quickly, but wanted to train myself to actually touch-type, so I don't have to think about what I'm actually doing. Pros: Tracking of your progress, customisable dictionaries, and being able to test your slowest and least accurate words is great. Cons: Not being able to change the font - as far as I can tell, the l and I look exactly the same, so are both under my "least accurate" when they're not in a word.

Thank You!. I have used computers all my life but never learned how to type with proper form. Not to say I was slow before, but I am substantially faster now and can type without looking at the keyboard! I would not recommend this program for beginners though (ie: children) because the vocabulary necessary is semi-advanced ie:propagandist, sadist, disenchantment, etc.Overall I was very satisfied with the product and would suggest it to anyone looking for a good way to enhance their typing skills.
