I'm not really a regular 10fastfingers user but I found your forum very helpful and decided to ask here...
I learned touch typing a couple of months ago after having used my home-grown hunt-and-peck method for all my life.
My problem has always been a horrendous error rate and this I have carried over to my touch typing skills

This is really driving me nuts. My goal would be to reach an error ratio of about 1% or below. I do have 3-5% which is way too high and I have no idea how to get it down.
I do regular training on online.tipp10.com - mostly with german texts. And I have yet to finish a single exercise without any errors - never happens!
- QWERTZ keyboard (I'm german)
- 48 years of age
- Current typing speed for random german newspaper texts of 30-40 WPM. Which is fine by me, I don't really have to become a high speed typist.
- Error ratio a whooping 3-5% - my backspace/delete key is busy, no doubt about it

- Slowing down does not(!) seem to help!
- Of cause there are keys I struggle a bit more with but the majority of errors are of the "stupid" or "random" category.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Torsten
