Feel the slight projections on the keys <F> and <J>. Your thumbs ≥ ≥ should rest on the <Spacebar>: keep a little distance between the ≥ ≥ thumbnails. Turn your wrists slightly inwards. The forefingers should be ≥ ≥ parallel to each other. Keep the tops of the fingers perpendicular on the ≥ ≥ keys. ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ - Each touch should be short and firm. The fingers should stay in the same ≥ ≥ place as far as possible after each strike. Be sure to use the correct ≥ ≥ finger on the key. If you want to learn to touch type you have to use all ≥ ≥ ten fingers. Capitals have to be typed with the correct fingers while ≥ ≥ pressing the shift key with the little finger of the other hand. ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ - Type regularly (staccato) and slowly at first. This will eventually help ≥ ≥ you to gain more speed. You must type the letters appearing on the screen ≥ ≥ gently. Do not pay any attention to how often they appear: Just type the ≥ ≥ letters. Do keep looking at the screen. Don't look at the keyboard. ≥ ≥ ≥ ¿ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒŸ ⁄ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒø ≥ ≥ ≥ - Touching a shift key also counts for a touch. In connection with this way ≥ ≥ of counting the <Caps-Lock> key is automatically switched off by the ≥ ≥ program. The <Num-Lock> key has been automatically switched on to assist ≥ ≥ exercising on the numerical keyboard. This may be troublesome when using a ≥ ≥ portable. Some computers may even stop working. These problems can be ≥ ≥ solved by adding the parameters C and N to the command TYPEMATE when ≥ ≥ starting the program. This will prevent Typemate from switching off and ≥ ≥ switching on these keys. Start Typemate in the following way: ≥ ≥ C:\> TYPEMATE CN and press <Enter>. ≥ ≥ Other parameters you can use: O (Sound OFF) and Q A or Z (Keyboards). E.G.:≥ ≥ C:\> TYPEMATE OZ CN and press <Enter>. ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ - In most European countries typing speed is measured in "keystrokes per ≥ ≥ minute". As mentioned above the touch of a shift key counts for a ≥ ≥ keystroke. In the USA and the UK typing speed is often measured in "words ≥ ≥ per minute": only visible characters are counted (so shift keys and spaces ≥ ≥ are NOT). The total of visible characters is divided by five in order to ≥ ≥ obtain the (fictitious!) number of words typed. ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ ¿ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒŸ ⁄ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒø ≥ ≥ ≥ - Typemate teaches you the ten-finger system in which the ring finger of the ≥ ≥ left hand touches the letter <Z>. Alongside this system there is another ≥ ≥ common finger positioning in which you strike this letter with the little ≥ ≥ finger of the left hand. In the latter case your fingers are all moved one ≥ ≥ to the right on the bottom rown of keys. You may choose which system to ≥ ≥ adopt. Typemate will however always indicate the finger position according ≥ ≥ to the first system mentioned above. ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ - Typemate is available in Dutch and English and French translations.
