Literally just type a lot. For me, a teenager that wastes time on chat and Reddit, this is no problem at all. Over the course of about 4 years, I went from 80 wpm to 125 wpm (I kind of flatlined at 125. Not sure how to improve from here).
The more you type, the better you learn how to touch type. Switching to a 60% layout forced me to learn how to type on the number row, something I had never really bothered to learn before, and I am now noticeably faster at typing on the number row.
Try typing as if your life depended on it.
I honestly learned how to type fast by playing Diablo II however many years ago and having to talk and run away from monsters at the same time.
But yeah, practice.

Recently bought a HHKB with no legends so I can force myself to learn how to touch type. I'm finding it super difficult to memorize where which letters/numbers are where. How did you guys learn?

You could take advantage of the moment and make best use of it by learning a new layout. Nothing but practice will help; starting with a picture of the layout on-screen is best.

dvorak.nl maybe?
I tried to use that to learn Dvorak over winter break but was unsuccessful. I can type the home row at probably a nice 40 wpm though :p

Push, I remember that. I went from 80 to 160 in a little over a year after swapping, which I can't say is normal haha. There are transition layouts and apparently Colemak is easier to learn, I just am too hipster and must use the OG alternate layout. I have my doubts about alternation, but at least there are some nice digraphs on Dvorak.

About two months ago I picked up Dvorak. I went cold turkey, and I did not use a typing tutor. I just pulled up an image of the layout and resumed my day as normal. For the first two weeks, it's pretty miserable. But now my typing speed is gradually increasing. :D
Moving to an alternative layout can be a bit annoying, but it clears up all those bad habits by abolishing them entirely. Just make sure you're practicing good habits when you start!

Met a guy that had a Dreamcast with a game called "Type of the Dead" or something like that. and you had to type words to kill the zombies. He went from single finger - looking at the keys to 140 wpm in a year. Practiced for hours every day. I was so jealous of his skills, because additionally he used vi to program, and now he was the faster coder in the world!

"The typing of the dead" - and what a great idea to improve by playing this game! There is a Steam version nowdays. :)
Just practice I guess. My typing is a refined version of hunt and peck thats just gotten much faster over the years. The problem with this method now is that it tends to be very inaccurate as its based entirely on muscle memory -- and as soon as I go over to a slightly different keyboard layout I start making a lot of mistakes because again, its all muscle memory.
Would love to learn how to properly touch type -- but every time I try I revert back to my old ways because its faster.

47 isn't fast if you compare to anyone who doesn't hunt-and-peck, just thought you ought to know. 50 wpm is about average.

Lol no I realize that 47 is pretty horrible -- got some blank keycaps in the mail though, maybe that will force me to learn to touch type.
For the time being I am opting not to try to move my right hand. It took me long enough to learn to touch type in this position. :-[ I'm not fast at all yet. Only 25wpm. But I only stated touch typing on a blank board less than a week ago.
I can hunt and peck out 50wpm but I want to get faster than that. So I am forcing myself to learn to touch type.
Learn Colemak layout from scratch using finger a placement chart so you know which finger is supposed to press which key. Why learn Qwerty if you essentially have to start from ground zero in order to learn properly? Might as well learn a layout that is efficient and promotes fast speed speeds and reduces RSI/CTS.
No friends. More time to hit 160wins per minute.

There's quite a bit of data on Dvorak, especially considering Blackburn. If anything, there's very little data on Colemak, lacking any formal studies.

There's quite a bit of data on QWERTY, especially considering Wrona or Zaviačičová (http://www.cherry.de/cid/press_1386.htm).
Speaking of studies, I've yet to see a real-world Dvorak-QWERTY comparison that isn't flawed.
You mean something like this (PDF) article by Leonard West (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.8.6886&rep=rep1&type=pdf)? They tested only digrams and on rather small scale... the output was 4% superiority of Dvorak, which is not a big deal. There were more studies like that, especially in the 70's and 80's, but... they always looked only at some aspects (like speed of typing bigrams) and with very few participants. No ground-breaking results either.
carpalx is not a study. It's a parametric model and its output obviously depends on supplied parameters. (I should know, I'm actually extending carpalx.) The defaults are... well, how did they get there? Moreover, the results don't say much about performance *in actuality*.
I'm definitely not opposed to the idea of other layouts (working on carpalx and want to learn yet another layout), but for different reasons (philosophy, subjective comfort, hypothetically easier learning). There simply isn't enough data to claim that different optimized software layouts noticeably affect speed or RSI.
Browse youtube and watch videos of people typing on Dvorak or Colemak layout. Preferably ones where they have split screen showing their keyboard and the text as it is typed. You will see for yourself that this "4%" statistic is meaningless.
I watched one last night by simply typing "Colemak" into the search field and it was titled something like "Colemak 136wpm". Not the fastest speed ever, but you can see how little his fingers travel from the home row and how smooth and rhythmic the typing pattern is compared to a similar speed on Qwerty.
Draw your own conclusions either way. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but hey - it never hurts to allow a broad range of information and evidence to underlay your opinions, does it? Least of all, you; he who stands the most to gain from it.
I should've quoted Dovkal, as that was who I was addressing, not you. I'm in agreeance with you.
I probably shouldn't bundle Colemak with Dvorak, but that's what I did, as I feel the (unplausable) research against Dvorak is the same sentiment argued against Colemak by the same nay sayers.
Both Dvorak and Colemak reduce travel beyond the home row significantly. Something you have to "see" for yourself; hence my suggestion to watch a video or two. I only drew reference to Colemak as I had that particular video fresh in mind.
The misunderstanding is mutual, but my fault for not quoting the comment I was addressing :confused:
I think both Dvorak and Colemak are great options, each in their own right; and both superior to Qwerty. I've learnt both, but I'm better at Dvorak. In my experience I would say that Colemak is a less steep learning curve when transitioning from Qwerty. The left-right,left-right rhythm of Dvorak and key placement compared to Qwerty is just COMPLETELY different and takes a lot of time to adjust to. Colemak was developed well after Dvorak and the idea behind it was to address the transition issue, but also try to further improve upon the efficiencies of Dvorak.
The main reason why I like Colemak is the editing shortcuts, such as CTRL C, X, V etc are in the same location as Qwerty. In places where you can't use keyremapping software, this is an almost must-have factor.

Ah yes, the coding has always been a factor to, it seems, almost everyone. At first it was a bit jarring, but now I'm so used to Dvorak shortcuts that it's strange for me to go back to QWERTY; although many are two handed, (nicely, CTRL+W is easier to press) it's not too much lost labor for me. Do you mainly type on Dvorak, and how was the transition from it to Colemak? I gave it a shot, but there just wasn't enough motivation for me.
Sadly, I've reverted back to Qwerty at work, where I do the majority of my typing - because I use the editing commands so much AND my work won't allow me to install the keyboard layout for Colemak. It is very difficult to be profficient in more than one layout simultaneously, so I expect my efficiency in either has diminished as a result :(
Colemak is probably easier to learn straight from Qwerty than Qwerty->Dvorak, but it wasn't "that" hard.

They made me fill out a long-winded form and write an email to level 2 IT, which was never acknowledged (months ago), so gave up. We've got a new operations manager here though, (who I've been getting along well with), so I might be able to get somewhere starting from the top.
As far as the code goes - I have honestly thought about it for a while, but I'm kind of torn between on a Code or a Kinesis Advantage.

I was always in competitive guilds when I played WoW, which means I was spoiled by vent. I can see how this would help though...
I feel like progress is slow for me. I think what I need to do is get in to a heated political debate. That has always made me type a bit faster. That said even though it's still a bit slower the feel of touch typing has me hooked. I ought to go and take a typing test and see how I'm doing.
I think it's more muscle memory. I have no problem typing without looking at keyboard or on blank keyboard, but I really have to think hard to "recreate" the keyboard without my hands on it.
This image helped me a lot when I started typing properly. Holding your fingers "in neutral" on asdf (left hand) and jkl; (right hand) and with time they just seem to know their way around the keyboard without me thinking about it.

Personally, I think this “fingering guide” sucks, as it encourages you to hold your left hand in a position which leaves your wrist twisted outward in an uncomfortable unergonomic position. (Also, the drawing is inaccurate in showing the row stagger on a standard keyboard.)
Here’s approximately my key fingering on a standard keyboard:

That is exactly what I do, but the 6 is part of the right hand. Maybe to compensate that the 'b' is not. Maybe because I am more dexterous with my right hand.As I said, this is approximate. I don’t necessarily have a set finger for every key. In particular, the fingering for the whole top row tends to depend a bit on context. I’m not sure actually which hand most commonly types the 6 key.
By the way “more dexterous with my right hand” is a pretty funny phrasing, considering that the word “dextrous” comes from “right handed”. ;)
I am really curious as to how many people that are actually fast typers (100wpm+) use the 10-finger-system. Im hovering at 70 wpm right now using about six fingers. Ive put in some hours to try learning the 10-finger-system with this software https://www.tipp10.com/en/index/ but its a steep learning curve ...
Can i get real fast with my 6-finger-freestyle?
As an update, since I've started using an ErgoDox I can touch type now! I'm only hovering around 70WPM but still so stoked I can touch type -- its way more comfortable and easier to use.
Another great tool is to play this in the background while training -

rolling is very important to speed .. for example, point.. that is a smooth motion poin-t.. if you only had 3 fingers for poi and lifted for n, 2 things happen, you introduce a potential error at " n" and it's slightly slower than simply rolling it with 4 fingers.
every hand lift has a slightly elevated risk of error than rolling...
Tapping (or making any other sounds, or even playing music) to distract the opponents is a known practice in competitive games/sports (and it affects any activity that requires concentration). The key is to learn to take advantage of the rhythm (or lack of it), instead of avoidance.Another great tool is to play this in the background while training -
actually.. I've found that listening to /loud music helps to train the Decoupling of Reading Comprehension and transcription speed..
So... yea.. but ontop of that you'd want to try and avoid listening and processing the music as well..
So maybe, use loud white noise... instead of music

I just started to learn touch typing. Anyone thinks its better to start learning using Dvorak instead of Qwerty?
It is all just muscle memory. You learn by doing. You talk about "memorizing" where they keys are, but that is not really how typing works. I do not know where half the keys are. If you show me a blank keyboard and tell me to point at the "T", I will probably point at the wrong one. But my fingers know where they key is. Because when you ask me to type a sentence on that keyboard I can do so without thinking about where the "T" is for even a second.
I think that before you attempt to touch type, you have to learn some of this muscle memory. Free typing software can be a little boring to use, but using it for a couple of weeks every evening gives you enough experience with touch typing for your fingers to kind of know which keys to press most of the time.
My suggestion would be to continue practicing with those until you can type about 25 WPM. I know this is super slow, but at 25 WPM you have a pretty good idea of where keys are on the keyboard. From that point onward, switch cold turkey. This is where your new keyboard comes in handy. It helps you because you can not cheat. At first typing will be slow as hell, and a little annoying. You might even take longer to finish your work/reply to your e-mails and your productivity will suffer a little. Though my estimation is that it will only take the average person about 2 weeks to be back up to around 40 WPM which is probably what most hunt and peckers speed is. Months later, you will probably surpass the previous speed you had.
One thing that people do not often mention, but what I think is important, is that touch typing is not just about being able to type fast. One of the advantages, perhaps even the main advantage is that you are able to type while watching the screen instead of watching the keyboard. This makes typing much more efficient, and allows you to focus on the content of what you are typing while your hands do the rest. I also think that using the computer just becomes a more fluid and easy experience, as you can focus on the screen and do not have to look down all the time.
Hi there,
I personally never learned to type properly and i found it really hard to fix the bad habits
This site helped a lot, there is statistics and it's tracking where you miss type and where you need more practice.
And it needs you practice every day to get rid of bad finger typing reflexes so you can type faster with correct fingers.
http://www.keybr.com/
Good luck:)
Oh, neat. That keybr.com site is pretty great. But why does it capitalize and punctuate every single "word" when you turn the option on!?
I'll second that site, the less you have to move your head down to look at your fingers the better.
you guys can use which ever site to track speed and accuracy
but make sure to rest your hands on awef jio; this helps you relax as it's the natural resting position of your fingers.
DO NOT worry about returning your hand to the home row.. it's not necessary and will only hinder your max speed.
Depends on your testosterone level. ~_^
The tp4's home position is far from optimal, because of row jumps, especially on layouts that weren't designed for avoidance of mechanical-typewriter jamming; ZSDF JKL/ is arguably better, unless the layout is columnar.
Row jumps are NOT hindrances to ultimate speed..If you mean row jumps using the same finger or adjacent fingers (especially middle + ring fingers), then that’s bull****.
I wrote this little tool http://flopska.github.io/ruby-typing/ to reach higher speeds. The ads and the loading times of the available tools disturbed me.
Recently bought a HHKB with no legends so I can force myself to learn how to touch type. I'm finding it super difficult to memorize where which letters/numbers are where. How did you guys learn?
I need to invest a bit of time to increase my speed. Has anyone tried a variety of these tools? Which ones work best?It's probably been linked here but I'v been enjoying keybr.com (http://keybr.com), has nice stats too to show which keys you hit most reliably and such.
