Why should you type custom texts?
AgileFingers has a limited number of typing exercises. Maybe you need more practice with a particular aspect of touch typing, but you feel that the predefined lessons and texts are not enough. Thanks to custom texts, you can enter whatever text you wish.
Another advantage of learning to type faster with custom exercises is repeating a text of your choice. Maybe you want to learn a poem. Reading the same text repeatedly can help you memorize it. You can use AgileFingers to learn your favorite quotes.
How should you learn to type faster?
First of all, try not to be too ambitious regarding the difficulty of a text. Everyday texts contain many familiar words, so they are a useful starting point for practice. At first, you should learn to type without looking at the keyboard. Then, you should type comfortably at a satisfactory rate. In the next step, you can type more demanding texts. Don't get discouraged. Type at your pace. Typing correctly is the key to touch typing. Once you start using the correct fingers for typing and no longer need to look at your keyboard, you can concentrate on typing speed.
