Typing Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Typing is the process of inputting text into a device, such as a typewriter, computer, or a calculator, by pressing keys on a keyboard. It can be distinguished from other means of input, such as the use of pointing devices like the computer mouse, and text input via speech recognition.

As of 2004, typing is by far the dominant method of inputting text into computers, speech recognition being a distant second.

User interface features such as spell checker, autocomplete and autoreplace serve to facilitate and speed up typing and to prevent or correct errors the typist may make.

Words per minute (wpm) is the standard measure of typing speed. For this measurement a 'word' consists of 5 keystrokes including spaces.
