The simple solution to slow typing speeds (although not free) is Dragon Naturally Speaking. When you talk into a microphone it types what you said for you.

I can type 120+ wpm. I kind of zone out. I can type a whole page and not remember a word I've typed. But it is accurate when I read it back. When I have used the public computer at the library I have actually had a group of people standing behind me watching because they could not believe that I was really typing a document, thought I was just hitting keys to make it look like I typed fast.

I can type about 70 words a minute with decent accuracy. After that, all bets are off. I think the best thing to do is just to keep practicing. The more you type, the easier it gets. You start to develop muscle memory. And eventually, you'll end up rarely looking at the keys and it will start to come easier. Good luck!

I hunt and peck my way to a blazing 10 wpm. I took a typing class in college and still can't type. If I don't look at the keyboard, I'm lost.

I took typing in high school for a semester. I don't know how fast I type now. To increase my speed, I played this game online called TyperShark. It's a sea/pirate themed kids game but it helped.

I'm pretty fast when it comes to typing, but I don't type the "correct" way. I don't have all of my fingers on the keys.

I have been typing every since high school.  That was a big part of my job.  I'm retired now, but can still type about 50 wpm.
