How To Write Faster On The Computer?

Write Faster On The Computer : Learning typing can be very useful for work and can be done easily from home with programs, online applications and games

Typing has experienced a boom in recent times with the popularization of computers, tablets, mobiles and other devices equipped with a keyboard. Their role has become so important that the Finnish education system decided last year to replace cursive calligraphy classes with typing lessons, limiting the teaching of handwriting to print. 

Knowing how to type fluently on a keyboard allows you to finish the tasks that are performed today more quickly: from a simple Google search to writing a book on your laptop. And the best thing is that you can learn with all comfort from home and from any level. In this article we have selected some of the best utilities, web applications and games to know typing.

The most traditional solution to learn typing for oneself, without having to resort to an academy, is using a computer program. There is a wide variety of them, in general with support for several languages and for different keyboard layouts. In addition, being courses divided into lessons, it is easy to adapt them to the level that the user has at that moment. Some are:

• MecaNet
