Here are the results of tests from three different websites:



My accuracy suffers. I'll get a screen recorder sometime. Back to the original thread, I got the Dvorak home-row keys down in a day or two. It's still a little weird forgetting the location of key right under your fingers, but I notice improvement. Right off the bat, I am able to construct most of the 'meat' of sentences with the home-row keys.

I don't have any worry about switching between the two. I am going to apply traditional typing style to Dvorak and keep my lame pecking method for QWERTY. I figure the differences in typing styles will retain my muscle memories and allow me to use both keyboard layouts.
Ok fair enough.. That's pretty unbelievable and very impressive if true. I've never tried DVORAK but i've been typing with qwerty so long that it would probably be hard to switch. That's where Mavis Beacon comes in. She's very friendly and encouraging.
