touch typing
Typing on a keyboard without looking at the keys. Touch typing has become an essential skill these days no matter what line of work anyone does. In the early days, schools ordered special typewriters with blank keys. Today, blank keys can be simulated with a soft plastic skin that is placed over any computer keyboard.Touch Typists Vs. Hunt and Peck Typists
The average touch typist can type 50 to 60 words per minute without typos, while the two-finger typist using the "hunt and peck" method typically achieves only 20 to 30. Super fast typists can belt out 100 or more, and fast two-finger typists can reach 50 or more words per minute when typing very familiar text. See QWERTY keyboard.
