If you now enter numbers by staring
at the keypad as you hit each key with your index finger, you are very prone to making errors. Not only is it easy
to hit the wrong key, but when you are constantly looking back and forth between the keypad and the result, it
is even easier to make a mistake or misread a number.
A few minutes a day with the Ainsworth
Keypad Trainer will quickly have you running spreadsheets, entering data, or using any number keypad without
looking at your hand or the keys. When you focus on the data and not the keypad, errors vanish and your efficiency
soars.
Eliminate errors and improve efficiency
When you have mastered the keypad, each number will have a distinct
"feel" that automatically tells you if you have entered it correctly. This important feedback is not
present if you are pressing all the number keys with the same finger. When you have mastered the keypad, you will
focus on the content and the result, not the process. This means zero keying errors and increased attention to
your work with fewer distractions.
Learn faster and easier with personal lessons
Lessons matched to your current skill level are automatically created by the software as you master
each of the number keys. This makes learning relatively painless, and gives you increased confidence because you
will always be learning at a rate that is comfortable and efficient. You can stop and start again at any time because
we adjust to your schedule and your learning style.
Dot or not to dot?
Depending on the types of calculations you will
be doing, you may elect to include the decimal key as you learn the keypad. In many financial institutions the
decimal key is not used for data entry. If you are using spreadsheets or calculators with decimals, you will want
to include this key in your training.
Eliminate distractions with Prescription Drills
These drills select any keys that you are responding
to more slowly, and focus your drills to eliminate these hesitations. Overall speed will improve with these drills,
but the main benefit is your improved ability to concentrate on your work. This shift is difficult to describe
until you have felt the results for yourself, but you will notice a definite difference as numbers suddenly "make
sense" instead of being a blur of separate digits. Put it another way, keypad mastery will give you a perspective
with numbers that is similar to that which you experienced with the alphabet when you stopped sounding out letters
and began reading words.
Try Number Cruncher! for fun and games
As a final boost to your confidence, we've added
an all-out video game to verify and improve your number keypad skills in the most harrowing of circumstances. When
you can key flawlessly in this environment, you won't be intimidated by any mere column of figures, checkbooks
out of balance, tax forms, or calculations of any type.
