Keyboarding

“If you want to know how to type

faster, you must have the will power
to learn. True, as the saying goes –
if there is a will, there is a way. No
amount of drill that is forced by the
instructor can make you learn if you
are not interested in learning it. You
must see the need for many, many
hours of practice that may be
required to acquire the necessary
typing skill. Practice makes perfect,
they say, but may I add that it
should be correct practice that makes
it perfect.”

INFORMATION SHEET 1 - THE ERGONOMIC KEYBOARD

Keyboard (kê¹bôrd´, -bord´)

A set of keys, as on a computer terminal, word processor, typewriter, or piano.

An input device that lets you communicate with the computer.

Keyboard Layout (kê’bord lâ`out)

The key arrangement used for a particular keyboard, including such factors as the number of keys (101 is the
current standard) and the configuration of the keys (QWERTY is the standard). Some proprietary systems use
different layouts, and many allow you to map characters to the keys according to your preferences.

QWERTY keyboard (kwer’tê kê`bord) noun

A keyboard layout named for the six leftmost characters in the top row of alphabetic characters on most
keyboards-the standard layout of most typewriters and computer keyboards.

Dvorak keyboard (de-vor’zhak kê`bord, de-vor’zhäk, dê-vor’ak)

A keyboard layout developed by August Dvorak and William L. Dealey in 1936 as an alternative to the
overwhelmingly popular QWERTY keyboard. The Dvorak keyboard was designed to speed typing by placing
the characters on the keyboard for easiest access to the most frequently typed letters. In addition, pairs of
letters that often occur sequentially were separated so that the hands could alternate typing them.

Ergonomic Keyboard (er-ge-nom`ik kê’bord)

A keyboard designed to reduce the risk of wrist and hand injuries that result from prolonged use or repetitive
movement. An ergonomic keyboard can include such features as alternate key layouts and palm rests.

Enhanced Keyboard (en-hansd` kê’bord)

ASIAN ACADEMY OF BUSINESS AND COMPUTERS
 Module 7. Applying Quality Standards

An IBM 101/102-key keyboard that replaced the PC and AT keyboards. It features 12 function keys across the
top, rather than 10 on the left side; extra Control and Alt keys; and a bank of cursor and editing keys between
the main keyboard and number pad. It is similar to the Apple Extended Keyboard.

Typing Fundamentals

“All of us need to have a goal and we must try

to reach it. We may not be able to reach our goal
in one trial so we must have to try again. There
is no harm in trying again and again.

A lot of people have suffered setbacks in their

effort to reach their goal, but a good many of
them do not mind early failures. Instead, they
keep on trying and trying until they succeed.

The will to win is a great help to those who want

to do great things. Many of us have read stories
of the lives of many great men and most of them
revealed that they did not achieve success in a
single try.

Success is usually won by people who work hard.

People who exert more effort and do their best in
whatever they do are the ones who reap the
reward. It really pays to work hard. There are
shining examples of those who succeed through
hard work.”

Figuring Speed

If you type for more than 1 minute: To find out your 1-minute rate, you will need to divide the word
total by the number of minutes you typed.

Example:

 37 words in 2 minutes would be 37/2 = 18 ½ . Words per minute (wpm) is 19.

 Count a fraction as a whole word.

If you type for less than 1 minute: To find out your 1-minute rate, you will have to multiply the total
number of words typed because you typed for less than a minute.

Example:

 9 words typed for 30 seconds, multiply by 2 (2 * 30 = 60 or 1 minute) is 18 wpm.

Counting Errors

1 Circle any word in which there is an error.

2 Count a word as an error if the spacing after it is incorrect.
3 Count a word as an error if the punctuation after it is incorrect.
4 Count only one error against one word, no matter how many errors it may contain.
5 Count each failure to follow directions in spacing, indenting, and so on, as an error.
6 Count each word that is omitted as an error.
7 Count each word that is repeated incorrectly as an error.

Arlene
 Feet apart, on floor.

 Feet in front of the chair, with one foot slightly ahead of the other.

 Back must be erect, leaning forward.

 Hands are close together, fingers are curved low.

 Eyes must be focused on the copy.

 Palms are low but do not touch the machine.

 Hands are flat and level across their backs.

 The thumb is above the center of the space bar.

 Hands are so close you could lock the thumbs.

 All fingers are curved so that you type on the tips.

4. Practice on the hard and unfamiliar words.

5. Read beforehand the material you are going to type.
6. Do not press on the keyboard too hard.
7. Type smoothly and with ease.
8. Be guided by the principle, “If other people can type by touch, why can’t I?”

To develop your typing speed, first, you have to type short and easy words that will send your
fingers flying. You can make use of the fluency drills given in this manual. Repeat these words again
and again until you can type these words at top speed. Start to type sentences with the same pace
– slowly at first then try to push your speed faster and faster until your fingers keep on flying. Do
not forget that if there are some words in the sentence that you think will disturb the flow of your
typing, practice on them first, until you can type them fast and right.

Characteristics of a Good Typist

A good typist works smoothly with speed and accuracy. As she types, she keeps her eyes on the material
he is copying and focuses his attention on the thought content. He assumes proper sitting position, types
with less hand motions and without jerks, but keeps the keys moving smoothly.

A good typist spends a little time to plan his work before he begins. He puts all things in order. He places
them in a convenient way so that when he starts to work, he does so with the least delay. In this way, he
saves more time.

A good typist proofreads his work thoroughly. He checks his copy with care and corrects all errors.

A good typist is one who can be depended upon. He makes a follow-through in his job. He not only
completes his work on time, but does it right and pretty well. He has initiative and does not just wait for
orders. He anticipates what needs to be done and tries to perform it to the best of his ability.

Components of good typing technique:

Hand Function.
* learn to type the easy words and become familiar with the easy keys first,

Ergonomics and Positioning.

* The way you sit and the organization and setup of your work environment will have a significant
Movement vs. Stability.
* The way in which your fingers move.
Touch Typing.
* Developing the skill of using your fingers, not your eyes for increased accuracy and speed.

To insert text In Insert mode, text is inserted into the document at the insertion
in a point. This is the default mode. Text which already exists is moved

forward to make way for the new text.

• Position the insertion point where you want to insert the new text.
• When you begin typing, the existing text will move to the right
and wrap to the next line.

Sometimes Normally when using a Windows based product such as Word 97 the
you do not golden rule is select first then manipulate. However because Word
need to
select first!
97 recognizes the concepts of what a word is and what a paragraph is,
in some cases you will not have to select first. Thus if you wish to
apply font (i.e. word) formatting, such as making a word bold, then
you only have to click anywhere within the word and then apply the
font formatting, such as clicking on the Bold icon to make the word
bold. In the same way if you wish to apply paragraph formatting to a
whole paragraph, you need only click anywhere within the paragraph
to apply the formatting. For example to indent an entire paragraph,
click within it and then click on the Increase Indent icon located on
the Formatting Toolbar.
