I decided to learn how to type properly today, for no real reason except for the fact that I've been using a computer long enough that I should be able. What about the rest of you? [addsig]

I do well most of the time with my typing, save for when I'm in IRC. Then things just get... bad. [addsig]

I've noticed that I actually type faster and become more accurate when I don't look at the keyboard or screen ... weird. I have friends who get freaked out by it, because I'll be talking to them (face to face) and typing at the same time [addsig]

personally i type better my way, but would love to learn proper typing procedures.. my daughter-in-law can type circles around me in shear WPM.. it always amazes me to watch a real pro at the keyboard.

i cannot seem to type with out my eyes, in spite of the fact that i know where the damned keys are

i do recommend www.iespell.com for anyone using inet explorer

I don't like to type properly; I like short aliases like : ASAP, OMG , LMAO, WTF (that I discovered recently) , RTFM... I'm still wondering what OMGR means...

...no you don't, trust me lol. (it's not that great unless you speak loud and clear and pronunciate a certain way, unless they've come out with some tool that made you sound out words for it to synch up to). [addsig]

there is/was a star trek demo with voice recognition technology.. it was imperfect, but it was cool, considering it was about 5 years ago when i downloaded it and tried it out [addsig]

Bridge Commander is supposed to have voice recognition but for some reason they dont tell you how to activate it. Its just listed in the features on the back of the box.

I don't touch type in the official home keys style way, but I've never had trouble typing fast enough. I agree with Crono that it seems that I type faster when I don't look at the keyboard, and especially so when I'm actually paying attention to something else at the time. [addsig]

It's actually really easy to type properly if you already know where all the keys are. I'm not very fast yet though. [addsig]

I use a home row base, but then it's total free-for-all. I kinda do a semi-normal bit on the outer sides of each hand, but in the middle, it all depends where my hand is as to how 'correct' I am. I also only use the right shift - never the left, unless I'm doing a keyboard shortcut. works well for me, though. [addsig]
