TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Recently on this list, two posters talked about typing speeds. One wanted
to get faster and asked for advice on typing tutorials; another reported an
incredibly fast speed, but said that in some circumstances it was too fast.
I have two questions. How important is it for a TW to be a fast typist? and
has anyone had any success using technology such as voice recognition
systems to overcome slow typing speed?
Regards,
Dave.
