Dvorak Teaches Typing: Part II
I've had such a busy week with exams and I'll be sure to write it up sometime next week after they're all done. For now, I'll take another look at my progress with Dvorak!
Last month I said I would try to type as quickly and accurately on a Dvorak keyboard layout as I used to be able to on a QWERTY layout by the time spring break rolled around. Well with one and a half weeks until spring break, how is my experiment going?
Numbers do not lie and so I can't say that I think that I will achieve my goal. However, I am completely satisfied with where I currently am. When I took the same tests, my results on a QWERTY keyboard were 83 WPM at 95% accuracy. Today, my results on Dvorak are 61 WPM at 99% accuracy.
Although my typing is not as fast, it is more accurate. I also can't stress enough how much more relaxed my hands feel when typing. Hopefully the next time I post a Dvorak update I'll be caught up to my former QWERTY speed.
