Well, when you say typing, you mean typing faster right? I suggest AIM like above, and also if you can, play a game that has cheat codes in it, even if you can beat the game, just pratice typing all those cheat codes in, first do it at your own speed, then every day you will get faster and faster, or you can just like get a text book open up Microsoft Word and knock yourself out =]. Well... For software, I am not sure, I remember there was a game called The Typing Of The Dead. But yea... Whoops this post is going a bit too long. Alright hope you improve on your typing

guyz you got me wrong! see i can type fast, actually pretty good but i type with my own style and does not follow the regular typing like the home row and i use around 4-6 fingers atmost. I want to learn the regular way of typing like typists do. So which is the best software for that? And i got an additional problem in unlearning what all i know to learn the new type of typing!

Err, iono, well if your comfortable with your 4-6 finger typing style then it shouldent matter, but if it really that bad then try this

asdf jkl;
left right
HOME
POSITIONS

err thats all lol i dont no what else =] i say, just go with your own style thats how i do it, whenever i type the "y" it switches from left hand to write hand.

The site is http://www.goodtyping.com/default.htm, if anyone knows a better software to learn typing do tell me, thanks.

Mavis Beakon and Teaching you touch typing.

Mavis Beacon or something like that, i have it and never use it but its great to learn to type, use maybe about 20 minutes a day and you will get better! and also just chatting to friends helps too, even posting on the forums.
