TLDR
To answer questions related to keying errors and error corrections, performance data were collected from typists as they keyed text into a simulated word-processing system.Abstract:
To answer questions related to keying errors and error corrections, performance data were collected from typists as they keyed text into a simulated word-processing system. Data are presented on the frequency of error detection, the amount of time spent correcting errors, the number of characters erased per error correction, and the types of errors corrected. Comparisons are also made between corrected and uncorrected errors.read more

A provisional evaluation of a new chord keyboard, the Velotype
TL;DR: The makers of the Velotype promised that it would be possible to type three times as fast on this keyboard as on the normal QWERTY keyboard, or that it could be learned in a shorter time.

Detection of Errors by Skilled Typists
TL;DR: It is shown that skilled typists can detect and correct many errors which they make in copy text, even when they cannot see their copy and the keyboard they use, and that when they detect that they have made errors they arc usually also able to specify precisely what these have been.

Visual Feedback and Skilled Keying: Differential Effects of Masking the Printed Copy and the Keyboard.
TL;DR: It was concluded that the keyboard provides ' guidance ' information, permitting the appropriate co-ordination of fingers and keys and the location of unfamiliar keys by sight, and the printed copy provides ' feedback ' information concerning the commission of errors.

Analysis of Keying Errors
TL;DR: If the causes of errors wore known, it might be possible to reduce the percentage of wrong keystrokes, and an attempt was made to identify these causes by classifying 293 errors, collected in a field study, into seven categories.

Effects of randomly delayed visual and auditory feedback on keying performance.
TL;DR: The data suggested that efficiency of performance was reduced by the delay to both visual and auditory feedback, as well as by the limit imposed on the output rate of the teletype.
