When practicing your typing skills, it’s important to use your hands in proper placement. To start, keep your fingers positioned over the home row keys (left hand on the A, S, D, and F keys and the right on the J, K, L, and; keys), with your thumb hovering on the space bar
Instead of looking down at your keyboard, focus on the screen. This can be difficult in the starting, especially if you haven’t mastered the exact placement of the keys. However, looking at the screen will improve your accuracy because you will be able to catch typing mistakes and you will remember the positions of the keys.
Sitting in an upright position is going to make your typing easier to type faster. If you slouch or you have a habit of working while sitting on the couch then you should change your posture and start sitting straight.
The wrong hand placement can make your typing uncomfortable to type for an extended period of time. The space bar of your keyboard is centered with your body.

If you are unable to use your keyboard, but can still control your computer mouse or another type of input pointer device, you should consider an on-screen keyboard. On-screen keyboards are virtual keyboards that appear on your monitor screen so you can type even without using a physical keyboard.
To turn on the on-screen keyboard on your computer, follow the instruction below:
Windows: On Windows 10, enable the on-screen keyboard by right-clicking on the taskbar, and then clicking on the “Show touch keyboard button”. Click on the keyboard icon in the system at any time to have the on-screen keyboard.
Mac OS X: From the Apple menu, click on the system preference and then select the Language & Text icon. Click on the input sources tab and check the area next to the keyboard. Then the keyboard will appear on the screen by selecting the keyboard icon on the status menu.
Do you find yourself performing certain actions over and over again? It can be a good decision to adjust your keyboard setting to map these actions to a given keystroke or the combination of keystrokes.
You can search for the instructions for both customizing your Windows keyboard and customizing your OS X keyboard online.
Another useful keyboard feature is sticky keys, which let you use keyboard shortcuts if you are facing the problem of pressing multiple keys at the same time. When you enable sticky keys, the keystroke for Ctrl, Alt, Command, and Shift becomes “sticky”, so that you don't have to hold them down while you press the next key.
To turn on sticky keys on Windows, press the shift key five times in a row. To turn on the sticky keys on Mac OS X, then go to system preference > universal access > keyboard and select the on option for sticky keys.
Voice recognition has become advanced by leaps and bounds in the past few years. Virtual assistants such as Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana can do everything from checking the weather to searching the web for information.
Here’s the positive point for people with motor disabilities is that you can now control your computer using only voice, without the need for keyboard or mouse input. All you need is good-quality microphones and speech.
To enable speech recognition on a Windows computer or laptop, type in “speech recognition” into the search box on the Windows taskbar, and click on Windows speech recognition.
To enable speech recognition on Mac OS X, go to system preference > dictation & speech. Select the On option for Dictation and check the next box to use Enhanced Dictation.
