 Typing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typing is the process of inputting text into a device, such as a typewriter, computer, or a calculator, by pressing keys on a keyboard.
As of 2006, typing is by far the dominant method of inputting text into computers, speech recognition being a distant second.
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.

 Tactus Touch Typing Keyboard - Teachers - Is Touch-Typing Impossible to Learn?
Whereas before, secretaries, who were generally excellent touch-typists, spent most of their working day typing, today, typing represents a small proportion of the computer user's time.
The great majority of typists, when the typewriter was first introduced, used their typing skills to transfer onto paper the words of others, as secretaries and copyists do.
Therefore, from its commercialisation in the late 1880s until the advent of the personal computer, typing was a core competence of people whose working time was mostly spent typing.

 One-Handed Touch-Typing on a QWERTY Keyboard ~ Matias, MacKenzie, & Buxton (1996)
Subjects were instructed to type as quickly and accurately as possible, while remaining in sync with the input text.
For example, much of the data at the high typing rates may have come from only one or two subjects whose attention to errors was atypical.
A computer that is worn, rather than held, has potentially significant advantages for data collection "in the field." By modifying a Hewlett-Packard 95LX palmtop computer, we were able to construct a prototype wearable computer (Figure 15).
