Why Learn to Touch Type?
Save time
Learning to be a fast typist can boost your work or school productivity like crazy. If you tend to "hunt-and-peck" keys then you most likely write no more than 30 words per minute. With touch typing you can double and even triple that which means you can complete a page of text in just 3 minutes instead of 10.
Be responsive
In an IM conversation you will be able to type as fast as you can talk — and even faster. The conversation will just flow naturally.
Type more accurately
Touch typing will help you make a lot less typos even if the keyboard is steaming under your fingers. Even if you make an occasional error, you will be able to immediately locate and fix it.
Focus on the task at hand
Nothing kills creativity as much as having to lose focus. Switching back and forth between keyboard and display is disruptive. With touch typing you will free your mind from the mechanics of pressing the keys and enjoy writing — just like it should be.
Avoid repetitive stress injury
Once you stop peering down at the keyboard every other second, you reduce neck and shoulder pain. Using all fingers for typing instead of just the index ones minimizes the amount of finger-reaching efforts and reduces fatigue.

I wasn't able to touch type at all yesterday and now I'm up to 33 words per minute with about a 95% accuracy. Andy McElravy
Great app! Always had an odd way of typing and needed to learn the appropriate way. Went from 20 wpm to 45 wpm after a week of using this. Totaled 500 exercises of practice to get this improvement. Garland McNew
Indispensable tool for training myself to type properly. I spend 15 minutes every day. I am up from 10 WPM to 22 WPM with 100% accuracy. Without looking at the keyboard, I know I can reach 50 wpm. Arther Casillas
Brilliant. I have tried several other apps and this one is far more fun, addictive and easy to learn. Samuel Asamoah
