Universal Finger Blinds: a bottomless, adjustable, portable covering for the hands and fingers purposed to obstruct the hands and fingers from view to operate and develop necessary skills for muscle memory to manipulate equipment including but not limited to: keyboards, typewriters, computing and calculating devices or for various dexterity skills that require obstructed vision of the hands and fingers. One may desire to look at the fingers to assure proper placement. Instead the goal should be avoid looking at the hands and fingers, yet achieve proper finger placement. The present invention results with a hand and finger covering that stays in place while in use, covers the hand surface without clashing the left and right hands, and fits comfortably to the user's wrist. Such use will allow a proprioceptive occurrence leaving the eyes to focus on written material while hands and fingers achieve muscle memory resulting with proper finger placement.

A method and a system for providing a typing practice to users are disclosed. The method includes displaying a portion of a story on a User Interface (UI) in an electronic device. The portion of the story comprises a plurality of displayed words, where each displayed word comprises one or more displayed characters. The method includes enabling a user to provide typing input, where the typing input comprises one or more input characters for each displayed word of the plurality of displayed words in a sequential manner. The method includes checking whether input character matches to corresponding displayed character of the portion of the story. The method further includes provisioning an animated graphics in the UI upon detection of match between the input character and corresponding displayed character and precluding the provisioning of the animated graphics in the UI upon detection of mismatch between input character and corresponding displayed character.

Universal Finger Blinds: a bottomless, adjustable, portable covering for the hands and fingers purposed to obstruct the hands and fingers from view to operate and develop necessary skills for muscle memory to manipulate equipment including but not limited to: keyboards, typewriters, computing and calculating devices or for various dexterity skills that require obstructed vision of the hands and fingers. One may desire to look at the fingers to assure proper placement. Instead the goal should be avoid looking at the hands and fingers, yet achieve proper finger placement. The present invention results with a hand and finger covering that stays in place while in use, covers the hand surface without clashing the left and right hands, and fits comfortably to the user's wrist. Such use will allow a proprioceptive occurrence leaving the eyes to focus on written material while hands and fingers achieve muscle memory resulting with proper finger placement.

A keyboard finger guide includes two or more elongated planar guides that are in a parallel orientation to each other. A plurality of curvilinear dividers is secured to the guides in a perpendicular orientation and provide a tactile guide to align fingers on a keyboard. The upper surface of the dividers can include a nonabrasive and malleable material, or the dividers can be completely constructed from a malleable material so as to allow the shape of the device to conform to variances in keyboard manufacture and designs.

A keyboard finger guide device includes an elongated divider this is positionable horizontally between two rows of a keyboard, and a plurality of curvilinear guides that are secured to the divider perpendicularly and are positionable vertically between a plurality of individual keys of the keyboard. The guides are constructed from a malleable and resilient material and can extend above the top surface of the keyboard keys to provide a constant guide for the first two fingers of a user's left and right hands in the typing position at rest. The guides can also extend level with the top surface of the keyboard keys at rest to selectively guide the first two fingers of a user's left and right hands while typing.

The present invention is directed to systems and related methods of teaching pre-keyboarding and keyboarding on a QWERTY-style keyboard wherein a color-coded row-based metaphorical and visual cuing system is used in a curriculum to make foundational keyboarding skills easy-to-teach and easy-to-learn, including: unilateral hand/finger skills, Home Row hand/finger positions, relational position of symbol location, and the essential keystroke spectrum of Home Row positioning-based finger movements of the left and right hand. The invention provides a dynamic virtual keyboard with colored rows which hexfurcates the QWERTY layout into left- and right-handed row sections, independently toggling the visibility of each in a developmental order to teach keyboarding skills in incremental steps rather than all at once. The invention further provides a dynamic cursor that uses visual indicators that mirror the visual cuing system to reinforce instruction with the dynamic virtual keyboard and aid keyboarding accuracy.
