Introduction
If you work with a computer, having a typing skill is a must. You may slow at typing and you think that is not a problem. That is right. But by having precision and fast typing, we can increase our work productivity. It means we use less time to finish the same amount of workload than unproductive work. This article is my sharing of using appropriate finger placement to increase the accuracy and speed of my typing. Please note, accuracy is come first before speed. That is my ultimate goal. As a metric, I used accuracy (%) and word per minute (wpm) to measure my typing accuracy and speed. I evaluate this performance in a month using the keybr.com tool.
Rationale
Every people has a different length and size of fingers. Making a standard layout for finger placement on a computer keyboard (touch typing) may work for some people, but also may not work for other people. For example, the following two images are photographs of my fingers. As you can see, my middle fingers longer than any other fingers with a significant factor; 1 cm from ring finger and 1.5 cm from the index finger.
