Depends on what your your qualifications are for a touch typist. There's a considerable distance between hunt and peck and someone who never looks down. I can touch type for stretches because I learned the location of the keys organically -- but I've never had (good) formal lessons and have to type a lot of punctuation which is two rows above my fingers -- so I move my hands a lot[1], don't make use of the fixed position on the home row at all, and I end up looking down way more than I probably should (usually at the starting point). I do about 30-40 wpm on the website above[2] :) Which is way slower than someone I would call a true touch typist, but not slow enough to impede anything but raw transcription. [1] I have no real evidence, but I think this tendency to move my hand instead of reaching with my finger has let me avoid the repetitive strain syndromes associated with typing, as well. (It could be just that I take minibreaks every 30 seconds to look down :-) :-P) [2] If I try to do it the classic way.. it's 10 :-P
