Hunt and peck ( two-fingered typing) is a common form of typing in which the typist presses each key individually.
User interface features such as spell checker and autocomplete serve to facilitate and speed up typing and to prevent or correct errors the typist may make. The world's first typist was Lillian Sholes from Wisconsin in the US, the daughter of Christopher Sholes, who invented the first practical typewriter. Text can be in the form of letters, numbers and other symbols. It can be distinguished from other means of text input, such as handwriting and speech recognition. Typing is the process of writing or inputting text by pressing keys on a typewriter, computer keyboard, mobile phone or calculator. Video of typing on a notebook computer keyboard
