The Touch Typing Essentials section starts with the Introduction and Setting Up Your Computer for efficient typing. Each following module focuses on practising specific keys and symbols—from basic letter combinations like F and J, D and K, and S and L, to punctuation marks such as commas, semicolons, and quotation marks. Learners progress step by step until they confidently type the entire keyboard, including capital letters and special characters.
By completing this Transcription: Audio Typing & Touch Typing course, learners will gain both technical and practical typing expertise. The transcription modules teach the foundations of accurate transcription, including formatting conventions, listening precision, and correct grammar usage. Through advanced transcription lessons, learners will also understand how to adapt to various industries, from legal to media transcription.
In the touch typing modules, learners will develop muscle memory for faster and more efficient typing. They will learn finger placement, proper hand positioning, and techniques for avoiding errors. Each lesson focuses on small, manageable key combinations to build steady progress. By the end of the course, learners will be able to type quickly and accurately without looking at the keyboard — a valuable skill for administrative, transcription, and office-based careers.
