Yes man this happens a lot of the time when I don't think about the spellings or characters it gets automatically correct but as soon as I start humming the spellings then mistakes automatically gets shipped by god
Great video Emily. I learnt to type on a manual. Another tip they taught me was to centre your body over the J (UK/US key layout) to help prevent RSI along with you other posture tips. I find the biggest limitation to my speed is my ability to spell. Copy typing I’m fairly efficient touch typer but typing my own words it slows as I have to think about spelling. I remember to this day spending all day typing a, s, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, ; (ping, return) with paper over your hands to stop you looking at the keys. I never use my left thumb.
The number pad is soo true. I never knew there was a stigma of numpads being for accountants or business people, but it's soo much faster to type numbers on there. I just build my first custom keyboard which is a TKless, and while I love how it looks and feels, not having a numpad kind of hurts 😅
I typically use the number keys across the top of the keyboard only for the special characters. It was surprisingly easy for me to learn to "touch type" a numeric keypad when I had a temp job with the U.S. Census. Now I ALWAYS prefer a numeric keypad and carry around an external one for my laptop.
@lorensims4846 i ended up getting an external one too because a numpad is too good for me to pass up. Only thing now is learning to be as efficient on my left hand lol
Watched the whole video ,it's very helpful because I'm using a few of the tips for a few months now and I have improved, but I still found more tips so thank you for this video Emily ☺️
I've just had a quick play on monkeytype. It lets you type quotes instead of random words, which is great because they include punctuation. I could also change it to British English. One fun thing which I wasn't expecting was the ability to playback my typing - enabled me to hear and see my speed and note words I make in which I make errors. You can also set Monkeytype to make sounds when you type. Mine is set to Typewriter, but there are various mechanical switch sounds for those who use quiet keyboards. My favourite type is a scissor switch: Cherry Stream TKL, but I wish they made a 75% version.
@@david0411 I don't know if you were already aware of this, but just under your results, there's a small triangle, if you click on it it lets you practise words you get wrong or type slowly during the test. I'm finding this really useful.
Thank you for the video, it was really helpful! TypeRacer has the Dead Mode, btw, so when you press the wrong key, the race is over - helps to have 100% accuracy.
I understand your keyboard preference. I learned to type as part of our education requirement on the typewriter. I prefer keyboards that produce sound. It helps my brain connect finger movement with proper key press. I also like keyboards where all the keys are in the "correct" places haha. I know there are many types of keyboard layouts but we practiced on QWERTY so my mind thinks of that as the correct layout. Thanks for your tips. Lovely keyboards you have.
Trim your fingernails. Great tip! I always kept my fingernails rather long and I found that I tore up the keycaps on the backlit keyboard on my MacBook after a couple of years. When the pandemic struck, I started cutting my fingernails very close to make deeply washing my hands much easier. I'm finding that I like having my fingernails clipped close. I now have a new MacBook and I'm happy that I won't be endangering the look of its keyboard.
Hey Emily! I love your videos, and you have recommended so many good items, so thank you!! Also, I do prefer your stationary pal and stationary vids instead of laptop/ipad vids. Hopefully you make more of those soon and i love you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey EMI! Can you make a video on “MY DAILY STUDY ROUTINE” or “WHAT I DO ON MY WEEKENDS”. I wish you would make such videos, I am desperately waiting to see those. By the by, your videos are just awesome 🤩.
I loved the video. The tips were very helpful. But I found really interesting that you programmed your own keyboard. Could you make a video about how you programmed the shortcuts.
On monkeytype you can also paste in custom texts. I like to paste in books or papers that I want to read anyway. This way I read and practice typing at the same time 😅.
I dont know why but I've always only ever typed with my two index fingers but my typing speed is 72 words per minute. I want to try and 'touchtype' but it's such a pain to learn and adjust to it
Thank you for all the tips it's really helpful. Keep up the good work. And thank you in all you videos it always help me especially in the video difference type of digital pens. Thank you very much!
9:32 I actually go to the opposite for some reason, I go from fast to slow for example from 143 wpm to 80 wpm and something like that. I don't know how to actually work on gradually go faster from slow.
what is the name of your keyboard? also, if you could attach the link to yours that would be really helpful ^^ also the video was amazing!! it helped me so much :D
I really wonder if there's something to that. I have a cyst on my left wrist and I type without an armrest. Somewhat left hand dominant when typing for whatever reason also. 🤔🤔🤔
7:00 well if you're hunting and pecking the numrow I'm sure the numpad *is* a lot faster 😂 I think I'm faster with the numrow since I touch type it. I find the numpad a bit awkward and slow since I often have to use the same finger on different keys multiple times consecutively. Not to mention I have to bring my hand half a flippin mile over to the numpad anyway.
1) 07:05 - I think you are typing numbers on the left-hand video wrong; numpad is faster, but you are supposed to use more fingers on the numbers row; true that typing just number this way seems to be inefficient and you can use only one hand on numpad 2) 07:46 - "I got cyst (...), I don't know if it is correlated, doctor says it isn't, but I think it is (...), once I got wrist rest, things got better, but I still have cyst" - haha, doctors said it is not correlated! ;) ergonomics are important, though! see carpal tunnel syndrome for instance 3) 09:10 - 80% efficiency is horrible! in my experience everything below 92% feels bad and slows a lot; 98% is pretty good!
How is typing on red switches going? I have heard they are harder to type text due to lack of feedback. I think you have at least one keyboard with red switches and the sound is amazing! ;) I totally agree with the need for having a good mechanical keyboard and this is how I got into typing. I got first mechanical keyboard with brown switches, which are tactile. I think I will get the same keyboard again, because it is great, except with the set of red switches, because of your video ;)
Red switches are linear switches, they are also good for typing, you only need feedback if you don't press the key all the way down when you type, if you do bottom out when you type feedback is not very useful anyways. I had brown switches and I didn't like them, I'm using a linear switch right now, and I love them. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, there are many switches, with different materials, different sound a d feel, so I would highly recommend getting a keyboard with hot swappable sockets, so you can change your switches easily, there are way more than reds and browns.
@@lucaspagote3042 Thanks Lucas for the reply! ;) In the meantime, I got a very similar RGB TKL keyboard with red switches. The keyboard was locally available in the country. It is great! I think red switches are better than brown ones. The experience is smooth and I agree with you that feedback is not very useful. I bottom out the keystrokes, anyway. It is my new favorite keyboard. I don't have access to the other keyboard right now but will compare both when I am back home. The new one isn't hot-swappable, but the older one is, so I might swap the brown switches with red ones. I have been using the mechanical keyboard for three years ;)
I have a question. Should i kove my fingers on certain words? For example. The "T" and "R" are both meant to be used with the left index finger. And for example in the word TRASH do i do Index Index por the TR or Index T, Middle finger R
The keyboard part was so true as there is just SOMETHING NICE when you are typing on the mechanical keyboard Also I have tried typing on the mechanical keyboard but I do not own one so it really does affect my practice as I don’t want to type on the MUSHY membrane keyboard
What mechanical keyboard is the one that is linear?? I can’t find it anywhere… I would love if you could tell me the name of the brand of the keyboard. It is the one that as the base that is clear and linear sound! Thank you so much
I see that you also type on butterfly keyboard. I have the same macbook and its a nightmare to type on. Thankfully I also have magic keyboard that I use for if I am doing any serious typing.
I have been practicing typing from quite a months now, I have reached 50 wpm from 20 but I have been making a lot of mistakes while typing and it really annoys me so help would be appreciated
Some great tips. You can practice with CTRL+F (s____h in the browser or in the favourite text editor). Go to Wikipedia on an article you are learning about, press CTRL+F to start s_______g for text and start typing a paragraph. You will get nice highlighting showing mistakes! My advice is to type the text you like or want/have to learn, so you will learn two things at a time ;) I have used some of the platforms mentioned in the video, also typing club, which I can recommend! I also practice by responding to comments on topics I am interested in. (AI filter gets deleting this comment!)
I hope I get faster I'm like 20-30 wpm I feel like the slowest touch typer I've just started learning, started in September hope to improve practise so much.
@@trisell1168 I'm around 30- 35 I have reached 40 and a bit above but my average is definitely 30. And I've sort of given up learning as my average doesn't seem to get better.
Thanks for the awesome video. How much difference is there between a low profile keyboard and a classic mechanical keyboard? I just bought a mechanical keyboard, I find it aesthetically pleasing, but I doubt its ergonomics compared to a low-profile keyboard. What type of keyboard is the most comfortable?
After typing without home row and doing that for a few years (2 years i think) i went to home row but then since i was so used to qwerty in 3 days i got my first 100 wpm and in 4 days i now average 75 wpm is that normal?
These are good tips but I disagree for the num pad part. Your comparison is unfair because you only use one hand on the number row. By sticking to the base position on the home row using your two hands, you don't have to move your right hand far from the base position to reposition it later. It is way faster in my opinion.
If i had a nickel for every time i found a productive type of channel who did dentist university I'd have two which isn't a lot,but it's weird it happened twice.

will you make a video on how you make your digital planners? like what apps you use to design it.
Hi im planning to buy a black case like yours should i buy one? My pink and blue case are always getting dirty:( but nice tips 😃
your one tip of holding lightly increased my speed from 45 to around 53
Excellent video very helpful. What finger do you use for right shift since you dont use your right pinky because my right pinky is stressing me out 🤕🤧
9:32 I actually go to the opposite for some reason, I go from fast to slow for example from 143 wpm to 80 wpm and something like that. I don't know how to actually work on gradually go faster from slow.
Very well done. The "b" and "t" keys are tricky for me. Can you do a video on how to speed up on tricky keys? Thanks.
how do you use the right shift and the letter P if you don't use your right pinkey
wow lots of wisdom n tips ❤
Love your content!! What keycaps are those?
13:30 cutting my nails made a BIG DIFFERENCE I went from 70 to 80 wpm in no time, I whish I learned this way before
I’m stuck at 79 wpm for the last two years even though I practice
I got much, thank you. is looking at keyboard or screen while typing preferable?
Thanks for the video very helpfull
