What makes typeSmart so effective?

Firstly, typeSmart recognizes the fundamental difference between creating electronic text by computer users, as distinct from the old-fashioned copy-typing of secretaries.

Secondly, it uses modern psychological learning principles, or Accelerated Learning.

Computers are creative tools, so for managerial and professional people and students creating text is ‘wordsmithing’, rather than robotically copying drafts. This involves bursts of text creation, rather than continuous production, and also involves considerably more stop-start editing than continuous typing.

Wordsmithing requires looking at the screen in the same manner as hand-writing. In contrast, the traditional typing method is based on looking at a document to your side rather than at the text being created.

TypeSmart recognizes that creating text proficiently is more akin to playing a piano than tapping on a keyboard. A pianist does not have to consciously think where the piano keys are. The pianist thinks and feels the music and his or her fingers respond automatically. This is how typing and editing should be.
