Nail It Now Typing Tutor |
Use random letter typing repetition to teach correct finger use. No memory linkage or other learning strategy.
After minimal instruction on correct finger use, (eg "left pinkie types a"), you type random letters aided only
by keyboard and/or finger prompts
Programs only recognize when correct key is typed, not what finger is used
You learn 2-4 keys per lesson. Between lessons, you would need to revert back to 2-finger typing for
"real" work |
NO random letter typing repetition. You use a quirky sentence to memorize home row keys and association words for top and
bottom rows
In around 2 hours, you learn correct finger use. In just 5 minutes, you type 9 words without looking at
keyboard, with immediate sense of achievement |
You would need technical expertise if
program problems develop |
NO technical expertise necessary. Anyone can use this method |
You are "locked" in a typing software program |
You type in Microsoft Word, as you do in "real" life |
