Gregory Arakelian holds the record as the world's fastest typist at 158 words per minute. A "good" typist's speed is around 60 words per minute. If you are still hunting and pecking, you might want to try working with typing software, such as Typing Tutor or Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. You might want to visit www.superkids.com/aweb/pages/reviews/typing1/
sw_sum1.shtml and read the article "Typing Software--The Big Picture." (The article "Time to Start Typing?" at www.zdnet.com/familypc/content/
960819/columns/parental/960819.html is no longer available.) Some researchers claim that the arrangement of keys on the QWERTY keyboard limits typing speed. Read the article "Typing Errors" at the Reason Online site, www.reason.com/9606/
Fe.QWERTY.html, for a different discussion of the facts. At the Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing Web site, www.mavisbeacon.com, you can find information about the history of typing, links to information on repetitive stress injuries, and more.

Typing Injury FAQ   If you type or keyboard for long periods of time, you can run the risk of developing a repetitive stress injury. The Typing Injury FAQ provides general information about typing injuries and links to Internet resources, information about alternatives to standard keyboards, and information about speech recognition systems.

The Herzog System   The Herzog System is a different method of learning to type that uses a standard keyboard but avoids the standard home row method of touch typing. Flash Typing, at www.flashtyping.com/, is another alternative to the home row method.
