I'll have to be fair, it's not actually called blind typing, and as you made up the term, you can define it as you see fit. But suggesting that you are just not looking at the screen when transcribing does not really impress. It's a pretty standard feat. In fact, the typos for such a small amount of text suggest your typing skills need some work. I would encourage more people to do that typo gag though, I don't think we've seen it quite enough on this thread. |

It makes little difference if my eyes are closed (like now) or if I'm looking at the screen. I's just habit, use the indents on the j and f keys to help line your hands up, then you're off. It's really just practice. |

You're referring to the yathzee review of fable 2. But it's not 100% right... It's supposed to be: Oh look he's a doggy, mash up his little face and call him chips. I think I have earned 2 cookies now? |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2622 Joined: 20 Jul 2008 | Blind typing is simple. In fact I just realized the only time I ever look at the keyboard is in games and that just now is the only time I looked at the keyboard to type and it's harder looking at it. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 701 Joined: 25 Oct 2008 | Blind writing aint hard once you have spend a lot of time staring at the screen of a computer and learned to maximise your effectiveness by not looking at the keyboard. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 752 Joined: 11 Jan 2009 | Okay here I go starting from now... I never really tried typing blind before, but i can imagine that it's pretty atrocious. There was once a man from canada, abd ge saud a word that rhymed wwith canada, The end. Damn, I really suck. I had in the beginning, I think because at the the end I didn't know what I was going to say. Lemme try again, I am now going to recite lyrics from some of my favorites songs... I know your eyes in the morning sun Gow deep is your love Much better =) |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1735 Joined: 29 May 2008 | I write pretty much everything i write on a computer without actually looking at what i have written, largely i know when i've mistyped something and that is slightly more scary when you think about it... actually going back and correcting mistakes that you know you've made. I've actually written this entire post staring at the ceiling. I did that test a while back adn i was chucking out about 85 words per minute which is pretty quick, and i just learned to touch type after basically typing way too much stuff on msn. |
Muckraker Posts: 342 Joined: 15 Jul 2008 | muscle memory ftw, although this is my work keyboard, so it's more compact than the one I have at home. (typed blind I might add) |
Beat Writer Posts: 207 Joined: 25 Sep 2008 | I can not really thiunk od anything to type so i am just making this up as I got along. Not as bad as I thought I would do. |

As I can see I am not the only one that can do that....I, to, am typing with my eyes shut right now and I have a feeling I am doing very well. This is what I get for typing way to much >.<. Oh well I guess it comes in handy while writing reports or essays, or stuff like that. You don't constantly have to be looking at the keyboard. <------Was typed with my eyes closed. EDIT
I love how you made no mistakes while blind typing, but accidentally misspelled blind when you were looking. I'm not making fun of you, I just found it amusing. |

I agree, seeing all the words on the keyboard seems to jumble my mental process. Looking at what I'm typing (for instance, if I'm typing what I'm reading from a piece of paper) is the easiest. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2576 Joined: 2 Aug 2008 | I can write without looking at the keyboard pretty good, but I sometimes press the wrong buttons. *looks down* Holy shit! I did it right! Damnit, just to be sure. *closes eyes* DId I do it? DiID I?! I hope I did it, because if I didn't, I'm going to be pissed at myself for sucking so much. Damn! I'm just too good. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1092 Joined: 6 Oct 2008 | I like to think i'm pretty good at blind typing, jgust terrible at the capatilization part of it |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1747 Joined: 3 Sep 2008 | I am blind typing. How is it? |
Press Junketeer Posts: 391 Joined: 31 Dec 2008 | I can type blind really easily. I can even tell when I made a mistake. But I still slow down when I type society. Seriously, try typing that fast. I typed all of that blind. |

Beat Writer Posts: 202 Joined: 19 Oct 2008 | I tend to blind type by accident, usually in the middle of writing a paper for school. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2325 Joined: 14 Sep 2008 | I am not that good at blind ryping. Edit: Hmm one error. Not that bad. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 943 Joined: 11 Aug 2008 | Blind typing is hilarious, in classes (me being the nerd), people ask me lots of questions. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 720 Joined: 16 Apr 2008 | Once upon a time there was a tampon. He lived a long and happy life full og honey and holocausts. Wow.. Only one typo XD |
Copy Clerk Posts: 81 Joined: 4 Jan 2009 | This first part is me typing just looking at the screen and not the keyboard. Typing blind on the pther hand is a bit more interesting. Thats whay I am doin now. I hope it turms out ok.... (This is normal typing) Wow. I'm surprised. Hehe. I guess I spend too much time on the internet.... Slightly off topic, but I've recently noticed how well I am able to come up with different ways to say things when running (in a game) and my 'wasd' keys are being used. (Other than usinng the actual arrow keys, coz that means typing with my left hand, and being a righty, that poses a bit of a problem for me, coz without my right hand doing 3/4 of the typing, my left hand gets all confused and decides to flop around uselessly, resulting an what looks like me banging my head on the keyboard and hitting send.) |
Beat Writer Posts: 135 Joined: 25 Dec 2008 | This is my typing "blind" or having no eyes on the keyboard. As you can probablty tell, my typing should be nearly error-free... I hope. :D Well, damn. I put a "t" in "probably." |
