These days everybody is using computer in their offices for productivity. Typing speed is considered as major factor in productivity. User interface features such as spell checker, auto complete and auto replace serve to facilitate and speed up typing and to prevent or correct errors the typist may make.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
1) Position of your body:
This is the basic of learning the typing skills. You have to sit
straight with a comfortable height of the chair from where you can see
to your monitor. Your end of the palm must be grounded to the end of the
keyboard or surface where your keyboard is placed. Place your fingers
correctly on the keyboard. Never try to type with your fingertips or
nails.
2) Placement of hands:
Always try to type with both hands. Many people try to type maximum
letters on the keyboard with single hand. This will slow down your
typing speed terrifically. Divide groups in the keyboard for both hands.
Always use thumb of any hand you prefer for the space bar.

5) Practice makes man perfect:

like TypingMaster, PowerTyping, TypingTest, and Learn2Type
for practice.These above websites will show you graph and detailed
