Touch typing means typing without looking at the keyboard, using consistent finger placement so each finger has a dedicated 'home' set of keys it returns to after every keystroke. This tool combines the same beginner/intermediate/advanced drills as Typing Practice with a visible finger-placement guide, showing exactly which finger is responsible for each key on the keyboard. Reference the guide as you type, and over repeated sessions your fingers build the muscle memory to find keys automatically, which is what ultimately drives both speed and accuracy well beyond what hunt-and-peck typing can achieve.
Touch typing is typing using all ten fingers without looking at the keyboard, with each finger responsible for a consistent set of keys anchored to the home row.
Most people build workable touch-typing muscle memory in a few weeks of regular short practice sessions, though reaching high speed can take longer.
Try to avoid it as much as possible - the finger guide is meant to replace the need to look down, which is the core habit touch typing is built around.
Yes - it uses the same drill system but adds the visible finger-placement guide specifically for building touch-typing technique.
