Typing/Keyboarding Lessons

Two experiments evaluated skilled typists’ ability to report knowledge about the layout of keys on a standard keyboard. In Experiment 1, subjects judged the relative direction of letters on the computer keyboard. One group of subjects was asked to imagine the keyboard, one group was allowed to look at the keyboard, and one group was asked to type the letter pair before judging relative direction. The imagine group had larger angular error and longer response time than both the look and touch groups. In Experiment 2, subjects placed one key relative to another. Again, the imagine group had larger angular error, larger distance error, and longer response time than the other groups. The two experiments suggest that skilled typists have poor explicit knowledge of key locations. The results are interpreted in terms of a model with two hierarchical parts in the system controlling typewriting.

The problem of designing new keyboard layouts able to improve the typing speed of an average message has been widely considered in the literature of the Ergonomics domain. Empirical tests with users and simple optimization criteria have been used to propose new solutions. On the contrary, very few papers in Operations Research have addressed this optimization problem. In this paper we firstly resume the most relevant problems in keyboard design, enlightening the related Ergonomics aspects. Then we concentrate on keyboards that must be used with a single finger or stylus, like that of portable data assistant, smartphones and other small devices. We show that the underlying optimization problem is a generalization of the well-known quadratic assignment problem (QAP). We recall some of the most effective metaheuristic algorithms for QAP and we propose some non-trivial extensions to the keyboard design problem. We compare the new algorithms through computational experiments with instanc...

Abstract We present a new 4-key text entry method that, unlike most few-key methods, is gestural instead of selection-based. Importantly, its gestures mimic the writing of Roman letters for high learnability. We compare this new 4-key method to predominant 3-key and 5-key methods theoretically using KSPC and empirically using a longitudinal study of 5 subjects over 10 sessions. The study includes an evaluation of the 4-key method without any on-screen visualization-an impossible condition for the selection-based methods.

Why the typing courses were created.

“I researched for many hours and tried many different typing programs with my children, but we never found a program that was a good fit. I wanted something that was beautiful and uplifting, not cartoon or arcade game style. I finally created my own program for my children, and they loved it. Now, we are sharing it with you. Studies have shown that simply viewing images of nature reduces stress, improves concentration, and elevates mood. Our typing courses contain beautiful watercolor nature scenes. In addition, the course integrates spelling and grammar principles. I believe the best way to teach children all subjects is in a way that helps them enjoy and appreciate learning for the beauty and meaning of it rather than teaching them through a video game style. We are excited to offer a ‘good and beautiful’ typing program for those who are looking for a course of this nature.”
