The keyboard is the main input device for text information. Studying it will allow you to work with it much faster. For example, the ten-finger blind typing technique can dramatically increase your typing speed.
Instructions
Step 1
The most popular keyboard learning program is Stamina. It is distributed completely free of charge and can be downloaded from the official website https://stamina.ru from the "Download" section.
Step 2
Start learning the keyboard with one of the modes. You can choose the one that you like best, there is no clear sequence of their use. However, if you are almost completely unfamiliar with the keyboard, start with the Lesson mode, which will introduce you to the layout of the keys.
Step 3
If you already have experience of typing on the keyboard, use the "Phrases" mode. The program will suggest certain phrases for typing. With this mode you can increase your typing speed.
Step 4
The third mode is called "Phrase letters". Its essence lies in the fact that the program offers certain letters for typing, which are selected from the phrases used in the previous mode. This exercise will increase the automatism of typing different symbols.
Step 5
The next and most difficult mode is called "All Symbols". The program will offer you a variety of characters for typing, which do not carry any semantic meaning in the aggregate. In this mode, all characters found on the keyboard are used, and the frequency of their appearance does not depend on how often they occur in real texts.
Step 6
Another Stamina mode is "External File". The program works with a text file connected to it, counts the number of errors that you made, as well as the typing speed.
Step 7
In addition to these modes, there are some additional exercises. With their help, you can practice typing only long or only short words, numbers and various symbols, capital letters, certain parts of speech, etc. You can make changes to the exercises as needed.
