Blind Typing

[NewClassic_v1legacy]

Blind typing, eh? Okay, whole post, blind mode. Let's see...

Quite frankly, I think that typing, for me at least, has become an exercise in futility, largely because of so much typoing class and experience. I still make mistakes, but at this point, typing out and answering these posts have become almost a form of showing off,f. Which I'm not usually okay with.

Ah well, I suppose it's unavoidable. I think that blind typing is a good Geigar Counter for one's typing ability. It does show how well you know your keyboard layout, either by sbconscious or conscious memory. But ultimately, it doesn't really matter, because people can be happy at any stage of the "proper" yping technique. So really, it's more about what you like, how you type, and what works best for you. Ah well, I think I'm rambling...

Overall, I do think that I'm fairly good at blind typing. So, Escapists, how did I do?

Hi I'm typing right now without looking at the keyboard. I find that my eyes seem to gravitate towards the keyboard, so I'm trying my best here.

I have been doing office and temping work for eleven years now, so that's probably why I can do it so well. I haven't found any other typists who can blind/touch type but can't remember where any of the keys are. I guess it's subconscious now.

Impressive, I've always had trouble typing on laptops as well.

The hardest bit is not setting off that buggering bugger the touchpad...

Blind typing isn't hard.(Blind)

Blind typing is more to refer to whether you are looking at the keyboard or not. I'll have to be fair, it's not actually called blind typing, and as you made up the term, you can define it as you see fit.

But suggesting that you are just not looking at the screen when transcribing does not really impress. It's a pretty standard feat. In fact, the typos for such a small amount of text suggest your typing skills need some work.

I would encourage more people to do that typo gag though, I don't think we've seen it quite enough on this thread.

I always blind type, it is just habit from touchtyping (spent several years in a laptop focused class at highschool). It makes little difference if my eyes are closed (like now) or if I'm looking at the screen. I's just habit, use the indents on the j and f keys to help line your hands up, then you're off. It's really just practice.

Blind typing isn't hard persé but i find it annoying that i have to concentrate this hard. All of this is typed blind.

 

[Jursa]

Get typing of the dead, that really helps with blind typing, you know... when monsters are chewing on your ass unless you type fast...

The previous text was typed with eyes closed.

You're referring to the yathzee review of fable 2. But it's not 100% right... It's supposed to be: Oh look he's a doggy, mash up his little face and call him chips.

I think I have earned 2 cookies now?

Blind typing is simple. In fact I just realized the only time I ever look at the keyboard is in games and that just now is the only time I looked at the keyboard to type and it's harder looking at it.

Blind writing aint hard once you have spend a lot of time staring at the screen of a computer and learned to maximise your effectiveness by not looking at the keyboard.

Okay here I go starting from now...

I never really tried typing blind before, but i can imagine that it's pretty atrocious. There was once a man from canada, abd ge saud a word that rhymed wwith canada, The end.

Damn, I really suck. I had in the beginning, I think because at the the end I didn't know what I was going to say. Lemme try again, I am now going to recite lyrics from some of my favorites songs...

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment taht you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your arms then you softly leave
Ad it's me you need to show

Gow deep is your love
How deep is you love, How deep ius your love
I really mean to learn
And we're leving in a world of fools
Vreaking us down, and and they all should lety us be
We nelongh to you and me



Much better =)

muscle memory ftw, although this is my work keyboard, so it's more compact than the one I have at home.

(typed blind I might add)

 

[I Am Pigeon]
