Typing




Typing is the process of inputting text into a device, such as a Typewriter , Computer , or a Calculator , by pressing keys on a Keyboard . It can be distinguished from other means of input, such as the use of Pointing Device s like the Computer Mouse , and text input via Speech Recognition .

As Of 2005 , typing is by far the dominant method of inputting text into computers, Speech Recognition being a distant second.

User interface features such as Spell Checker , Autocomplete and Autoreplace serve to facilitate and speed up typing and to prevent or correct errors the typist may make.
