Keyboard Genius comprises stickers that are quickly and easily applied to individual keys on the keyboard. Each sticker is colour and number coded to show which finger should be used for each key. The stickers can be removed, if you wish, once you learn to type.
Keyboard Genius is suitable for all ages from primary school children just starting out on their first computer, through to high school and uni students, as well as working adults, stay at home mums and dads and seniors. In fact, anyone who uses a computer can benefit from learning how to touch type.
Learn to Type - 28 Day Typing Trial
Using
prototypes, trials were carried out by participants of all ages and
from different backgrounds to assess the effectiveness of Keyboard
Genius. With only 15 minutes practice each day, over 28 consecutive
days, school children, teachers, business and home based people all
learned how to touch type correctly. In fact, the results were amazing!
You can find out more about these trials on the Trial Results page.
Encouraged by the overwhelming success of the trials and the
unanimously positive feedback from all participants, Keyboard Genius
was developed and is now available to anyone who uses a computer and
wants to learn to type correctly.
Typing in the Work Force
It's also increasingly recognised in the educational and corporate world that being able to type correctly is not just an advantage, it's a necessity. A recent article quotes a leading training organisation explaining that being able to type at 45wpm is now seen as a job requirement for anyone wanting to be in IT or an administrative role. Not to mention the increasing use of emails as the most common means of communication in any business environment.
