I've started using Learn to Type | Teach Typing | Free Typing Tutor and Typing Lessons to increase my typing speed while learning to type better. So far its been Good and Not so Good.
Maybe its me, but I tend to feel fatigued easily and find my left hand doing more of the typing; which is fine considering I'm left handed... but it causes my hand to grow tired and every time I practice the mistakes seem to increase rather than decrease.
My old typing method was one where I used only 3 fingers from each hand and I used to go quite fast with that, but there was no room for improvement in speed, etc... hence my decision to start learning to type. It dropped my speed dramatically.. You can imagine how ling irs taking me to type this...
I was reading up on the Dvorak keyboard layout and even came across this ingenious device.. Humble Hacker Keyboard and this The Humble Hacker Keyboard
Apparently the Dvorak layout makes it easier to increase the speed, decrease errors and it has been proven by testing and science.
If that is the case, why are we still using QWERTY layouts? Is the Dvorak layout truly better for faster typing or is the normal QWERTY the best.
If the Dvorak layout is the way to go, how do I get the layout on my iPhone and iPad as well?
