Hello Again myself Manan Aggarwal a B-tech Student is here to present you this Blog about How to master the Art of Touch Typing. Anyone who is reading this thoroughly can master the Art of Touch Typing within Few Weeks and can be a Superhuman.

What is Touch Typing ??
Touch Typing is the Typing Skill in which the person can type that much fast without seeing the keyboard and can reach upto 100–150 words per min.
Steps to Follow to master the Art of touch typing if we are a beginner
Step 1:- Set the fingers which is shown in the image above
The Left Hand First 4 Fingers will be on the A,S,D,F and there is the Bump given on the F keyword which made for you to re-Position the index finger back to the right keyword and when your index finger is at the right keyword your remaning fingers will come automatically on the right position.
And the Right hand First 4 Fingers will on the J,K,L,M and the same bump is given on the J finger also which help you to re-position index Finger on the right place.
Step 2:- Take it slowly
Slow and Steady wins the race. if you want to win this typing race then start slow and gradually you will professional in this typing skill.
After setting up the fingers on the right position then start slowly and always try to see the nearest keyword to that particular finger.
The meaning of this statement is :-
For Example :- we can see in the diagram there are the keys mention for the particular finger means it say that which finger is meant for Pressing which key. Like we can say that that the Left hand’s Smallest Finger is meant for typing only 1,Q,A,Z etc. No other is key is meant for the this smallest finger as these keys is nearest Keys on meant for the smallest Finger of the left hand.
Let’s Take another example which is of the right Hand smallest Finger which is 0,P,: (colon),/(Forward-Slash) which is meant for the right hand smallest finger which is pressed by that finger easily.
If you try with the another finger then your will face lot of the difficulties in pressing those keys which are not meant for that particular finger.
Like we can say if you try to press the A key with the index finger which is not possible and your typing speed will gradually drop and you can’t type that much fast if you do these things so Please avoid as much as possible.
Every finger has it own range set for pressing the keys which is meant for that particular fingers so Please Follow and don’t break that range which is not meant for the that fingers etc.
In starting you will look to your keyboard which is absolutely common who is learning this art of typing so don’t be panic. I myself look at the keyboard when learning the touch typing and then after some time I have stopped looking at the keyboard and my speed also increased.
Step 3:- Don’t Even try to switch to the original typing Position
If you want to learn the touch typing then don’t try to switch to the original typing position which is using the 2 fingers typing position which every normal person is following.
It will take time to adapt that new Position and your typing speed will gradually drop in starting then your original typing but DON’T BE PANIC it’s absolutely normal in beginning and you will also feel like that Giving up is the best option but no don’t do that because it’s the temporary pain will be gone with the time and acquiring new skills will take patience and time so do a lot of Practice and lot’s of the typing softwares are available for the practice like:- Typing Master, Rapid Typing and lot more etc.
Step 4:- If Possible Bring this Skill in regular work which you are doing
This is the Plus Point if you bring this skill in your regular work which you were learning as it will become your habit automatically. Once this skill become your habit then your speed will increase gradually and you got to know that you have crossed your speed which was the saturated speed when you are typing with the two fingers and you will feel like
