What is touch typing?
Touch typing is typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. Specifically, a touch typist will know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory. Touch typing typically involves placing the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard (the home row) and having them reach for other keys.
On a standard QWERTY keyboard the home row keys are: "asdfjkl;" Most computer keyboards have a raised dot or bar on either the F/J keys and/or the D/K keys (or the keys in the same position, for non-QWERTY keyboards) which enables blind or partially sighted individuals that touch-type to position their fingertips correctly over the home row, and which incidentally helps sighted touch-typists to orient their fingers as well.
