在这个时代(day and age)，打字已经成为每个人工作和学校生活的重要组成部分。通过学习如何提高打字速度，您可以提高工作效率。
最终，随着您输入的频率越来越高，您的打字速度会随着时间的推移而提高。但是，如果您想加快学习过程(learning process)，可以使用许多技巧。让我们来看看一些最好的。
从学习触摸打字开始
到目前为止，这是您提高打字速度可以采取的最重要的步骤。触摸打字是无需看键盘即可打字的能力。触摸打字员对键盘的操作非常熟悉，甚至不必看。
这有利于您的打字速度，因为当您继续打字时，您的手指已经准确地知道要去哪里。与其说是不看，不如说是建立快速、流畅的打字速度，因为您对键盘了如指掌。
那么，你如何开始学习如何触摸打字呢？这一切都与练习和(practice and building)熟悉您的键盘有关。为了建立这种熟悉感，您可以在Typing Club等网站上玩打字游戏。Typing Club等网站会为您提供有趣的练习，帮助您了解每个键的位置。
通过这些游戏，您将学习实用课程，帮助您更加熟悉键盘。
先打字，再改错
快速打字的最大障碍之一是打字准确性。当一些人尝试快速打字时，他们最终会丢失键或意外按错键。人们有时会在退格键(backspace keys)和他们试图按下的键之间摸索。
为了解决这个问题，一个可选的提示是先输入所有内容，甚至不要使用退格键(backspace key)。之后(Afterward)，您可以返回并通读以纠正您所犯的任何错误。
这个技巧很棒有两个原因。首先(First)，每次您停止使用退格键(backspace key)或纠正错误时，您都在停止打字——它会打断流程。其次，通过不使用退格键(backspace key)，您将被迫在之后仔细阅读您的写作。
不经过校对(proof reading)就按原样发布您的作品可能很诱人，但是这个技巧会迫使您通读一遍，因为您可能至少犯了一两个错误。
并非总是以闪电般的速度打字。相反，专注于你的写作流程。建立一个稳定、一致的流程是能够长时间保持一致写作的关键。
播放正确的音乐
一旦你真正擅长打字，你的打字速度就会出现一个主要瓶颈——你的思考能力。如果你练习得足够多，它会达到你思考速度不够快的地步——你的手打字速度会比你一开始想的要快。
我个人发现，在打字时提高思维能力(thinking ability whilst typing)的最佳方法之一就是选择正确的音乐类型。
有很多词的音乐(Music)可能会分散你的注意力，使你无法清晰地处理自己的想法。许多人更喜欢听平静且不太复杂的音乐。这些流派包括古典音乐、Lo-Fi、爵士乐，甚至电影配乐。
显然，每个人都是不同的，这只是一个普遍的共识。你应该尝试用不同的音乐类型来打字，看看你的打字能力如何变化。
您甚至可能会奇怪地发现，像快速流动的说唱歌曲(flowing rap song)这样的违反规范的东西可能会帮助您处理您的想法，它可能会帮助您更快地打字。
或者，您可能会发现音乐(music doesn)根本没有帮助。在这种情况下，一个好的白噪声应用程序(noise app)可能是一个很好的解决方案。或者，甚至只是来自YouTube的(YouTube)背景音轨(background track)，用于播放河流或雷暴等环境噪音。许多人报告说，他们个人认为白噪声和环境噪声是帮助他们集中注意力的最佳方式。
尝试不同的声音和音乐，直到找到最适合您的。
购买更合适的键盘
许多人会建议的第一件事是让您出去购买精美的机械键盘。众所周知，机械键具有快速响应时间——您在按下每个键时都能真正感受到，这意味着您可以更快地移动到下一个键。
我确实同意机械键盘可以提供帮助，但是一旦您掌握了触摸打字的基础知识，就应该考虑这一点。我认为熟悉您自己的键盘胜过硬件更改(hardware change)的好处。我建议您先使用一个键盘，这样您就可以在使用其他键盘之前熟悉它的布局。
一旦你有足够的信心，你可以考虑换一个新的机械键盘。请记住，可能需要一些时间来适应，所以在最初的几天或几周内，您的打字速度甚至可能比平时慢。(Just)
结论
这样就结束了我们对如何提高打字速度的一些快速提示的看法。我希望我提供的信息对你有用。作为最后的通过笔记(passing note)，请记住，与其他所有事情一样，提高打字速度需要时间和练习(time and practice)。

Best Methods to Improve Your Typing Speed
In this day and age, typing has become a large part of everybody’s work and school life. You can make yourself more productive by learning how to improve your typing speed.
Ultimately, your typing speed will improve over time as you type more often. However, if you’d like to speed up the learning process, there are many tips you can use. Let’s take a look at some of the best.
Start By Learning Touch Typing
This is by far the most important step you can take to improve your typing speed. Touch typing is the ability to type without looking at your keyboard. Touch typists know their way around their keyboard so well that they don’t even have to look.
This is beneficial for your typing speed because your fingers will already know exactly where to go as you continue to type. It’s less about not looking and more about building a fast, fluid typing speed because you know your keyboard like the back of your hand.
So, how do you go about learning how to touch type? It’s all about practice and building a familiarity with your keyboard. To build this familiarity, you can play typing games from websites like Typing Club. Websites like Typing Club will give you fun exercises to help you learn the position of each key.
With these games, you are taken through practical lessons that help you to build a stronger familiarity with your keyboard.
Type First, Correct Mistakes Later
One of the biggest obstacles to fast typing is typing accuracy. When some people try to type fast, they end up missing keys or pressing the wrong keys by accident. People sometimes end up in this fumble between the backspace keys and the keys they are trying to press.
To solve this, one optional tip is to type out everything first and don’t even use your backspace key. Afterward, you can go back and read through to correct any mistakes you have made.
This tip is great for two reasons. First, each time you stop to use the backspace key or correct a mistake, you are stopping your typing – it breaks the flow. Secondly, by not using the backspace key, you are forced to carefully read through your writing afterward.
It can be tempting to just publish your work as is without proof reading, but this tip forces you to read through because chances are you’ve made at least one or two mistakes.
It’s not always about typing at a lightning fast speed. Instead, focus on the flow of your writing. Building a steady, consistent flow is the key to being able to write consistently for a long time.
Play the Right Kind of Music
Once you get really good at typing, there will be one major bottleneck in your typing speed – your ability to think. If you practice enough, it will get to the point where you cannot think fast enough – your hands will type faster than you can think about what to type in the first place.
I’ve personally found that one of the best ways to improve my thinking ability whilst typing is to choose the right kind of music.
Music that has a lot of words may distract you from being able to process your own thoughts clearly. Many people prefer to listen to music that’s calming and not too complex. Such genres include classical music, Lo-Fi, jazz, or even movie soundtracks.
Obviously, everybody is different and this is just more of a general consensus. You should try to type with different music genres and see how your typing ability changes.
You may even strangely find that something against the norm like a fast flowing rap song may help you process your thinking it may help you type faster.
Alternatively, you may find that music doesn’t help at all. In this case, a good white noise app could be an excellent solution. Or, even just a background track from YouTube for ambient noise like a river or a thunderstorm. Many people have reported that they personally find white noise and ambient noise to be the best way to help them concentrate.
Experiment with different sounds and music until you find what works best for you.
Purchase a More Suitable Keyboard
The first thing many people would suggest is for you to go out and purchase a fancy mechanical keyboard. It’s well known that mechanical keys have fast response times – you really feel when each key is pressed, meaning you can move onto the next key faster.
I do agree that a mechanical keyboard can help, but this should be something you should consider once you’ve mastered the basics of touch typing. I would argue that familiarity with your own keyboard outweighs the benefits of a hardware change. I would recommend sticking to one keyboard first so that you can familiarize yourself with its layout before moving onto something else.
Once you feel confident enough, you can consider moving to a new mechanical keyboard. Just remember that it may take some time to get used to, so in the initial few days or weeks you may even have a slower typing speed than normal.
Conclusion
So that wraps up our look on some quick tips for how to improve your typing speed. I hope that the information I’ve provided is useful to you. As a final passing note, just remember that like with everything else, improving your typing speed will take time and practice.
