Do you want to learn typing? Did you get surprised to see
your colleague complete his task quickly enough because of his typing skills?
Are you looking for a proper tool to improve your typing speed? Answer to these
entire questions lie here in this short review of the Windows app, "Typing
Master". You may ask why I am personally reviewing this app while
there may be several computer or online tutorials or test modules available to
use. I bet, you will not find any material as complete, elaborate and easy as
this app. In my personal experience, this software has let me learn and improve
my typing experience significantly within very short time, without even a
continuous practice. In fact, I always use typing in my daily personal computer
job and in official publications. The desktop floating widget also helped me in
understanding learning progress even with typing documents in any other app.
There are various computer application or language learning schools and
tutorials available all around, however, typing speed and accuracy matters for
designing or performing larger tasks that we ignore often. Using Typing Master,
we can become master in typing while sitting at home or in between performing
other tasks while working. There is no need to go for any special typing tutor
or what so ever.
Knowing basic computer skills has become must to know now a
days with the advancement of technology, computational proficiency and speed.
In many of the professions and industries these days, knowing typing always
adds added advantage, if not even an essential criteria. Typing actually helps
us manage tasks ourselves and reduce the need of taking help of professional
typists. In productivity work, speed of typing is very important. Thus, in
communicating with colleagues, writing articles, playing multiplayer video
games and in employment, typing provides us ease and comfort.
Typing
speed
In the qualification of various jobs where typing is
essential criteria, the desired speed should be achieved in the examination
test. For a professional typist, speed should be as much as possible. In
general, speed above 30-50 net words per minute is good for general purpose,
which is increased day by day with practice.
How
difficult is learning typing?
Learning typing is easy with proper tools and guidance. However,
it takes little time and practice to increase speed and accuracy. First and
foremost requirement is to know your keyboard and placement of fingers. The
middle letter row (ASDFG....) is the row to start with. After knowing how you
type this row, progressively go for top and bottom rows, special characters,
capitals and so on.
Long-time practice in improper way will lead to habituation
of wrong finger in wrong place, which will eventually lead to reduction of
typing accuracy (reduced net words per minute over gross words per minute) and
below average progress curve. Therefore, it is imperative to learn the basics
first before you type hard and fast. Here comes the best tool, Typing
Master, for mastering typing with permissible accuracy in a very short
time.

I have gone through the idea of Typing Master
thoroughly and observed significant improvements in typing speed and accuracy. In
addition, I will definitely recommend Typing Master to all of you who
are striving to learn typing and searching for an appropriate tool while
sitting at home. This tool is freely downloadable from the official website
(https://www.typingmaster.com) and free to use all the features for seven days,
after which some of the features get locked. Creating such an elegant app is difficult,
time consuming and costly for the developers, therefore, I request genuine
users to purchase this app after trial period is over and support them for
further development in future.
