| Dyslexic typgin I am curous to know if there others like me who can spell quite well when writing with pen and paper, but constantly get letters the wrong way round when using a keyboard (e.g. form instead of from, wehn instead of when)? In my case it seems to be getting worse. Even just typing this short text has involved me having to re-arrange letters around in several of the wrods.

| Sounds like it has more to do with typing technique than dyslexia? Maybe a touch typing course will do wonders ![]()

| When I get tired, I manage (wow, just wrote magne instead of manage here...) to have a quicker left than right hand sometimes. At least that's what I've come to as a conclusion when noticing that problem. But generally, no, I don't have the problem during "normal" daytime.

| My first pass writing is terrible, especially the last two letters of words, so I'm constantly have to change 'teh' to 'the' and 'doign' to 'doing'.

| Yea and Dyslexics Lure KO. Actually it must be a real royal pain really being dyslexic and apologies to anyone who is and feel that I am being a goof. To help make it easier to type long scripts, I recently bought IBM's ViaVoice. Man, does it need some practice. I have been working with it for six months and I never cease to be amazed at what it thinks I am dictating. So I am sticking with my mis-spellgin.

| My problem is that the Apple keyboards seem to need a deeper press on the shift key than those PC ones I use at work. So I end up on my home machines going back and adding all the upper case letters later ![]() |
