Question Typing Numbers without looking at them

I am really good at typing the letters on the keyboard without looking at them. My fastest typing speed was 101 gwam.
Even though I can't really type without making some mistakes, I am still pretty good, better than most people in my Keyboarding class.

The only thing I have trouble with is the numbers above the letters. Is there some way help me to type them without looking at them?

The method you used when you learned to type should have also designated which fingers are used to hit the numbers located above the letters on the QWERTY keyboard.
If you didn't take a typing course, here is a lesson from the Internet.

As Rusty says, your keyboarding class should have taught you how to type the numbers with your 8 fingers without looking at the keys. You might want to ask your instructor about this.

Yes, I think the same that saids David and Rusty, your keyboarding class should have taught you more that only write in your keyboard, but if you can't write very fast in your computer or anything you should to prove to do a lot letter in your computer as in the software of Microsoft Word or other programs, there are free softwares in the website above as you can learn to write in your keyboard faster, but the trick of all this examples, you need to practice more and more everyday in your keyboard so you'll can write faster in your own texts, I have 10 years write in a computer and well, I already have practice in the keyboard sometimes, I don't need to looking the keyboard for write something, either when I write in English look the keyboards, you mostly need to practice more, I tell you, it was a counsel, because it's worked for me.

It was a real accomplishment when people (mostly women) typed years ago on manual typewriters at a record speed of 70 wpm......tying has come a long way.
