Ever since i started typing i have been using 'hunt and peck' technique to type. But now I have started to practice touch typing to improve my accuracy and speed.
Its been about 2 months since i started out and I have memorized the keyboard layout. Currently my speed is around 25 wpm with an accuracy of around 97%.
Here are a few things I would like to know:
1. What is the average speed of a good typist and in how much time can i expect to reach that speed?
2. How much does the quality and ergonomics of the keyboard matters in touch typing? I use a very cheap keyboard which i think does hinder in my typing, but i still think better speed with the same keyboard can be achieved, may be using a better technique.
3. Is there anything else i can do besides regular practice on the touch typing program?
4. Whenever i try to type rapidly i tend to make a lot of mistakes. So at this stage, should i focus on speed or accuracy?
Hopefully i have posted my question at the right place. Waiting for answers and advices. Thanks in advance.
