I have a computer consulting buddy that can type faster than I can read. He has several messages in a chat session on my screen before I can read the first one. I gain more speed when I type by cording, which is where I press several keys in precise sequence at almost the same time and by letting my fingers hit in the right sequence I type the words correctly.
