When I was in high school, my sister was learning to type because of a secretarial course she was taking. And there is a lesson to type "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". This string will cover the A to Z. Do this thousand of times and I assure you, your typing will greatly improve, don't need no software!
Back in the early 90s, I was working in a Sony plant in Singapore that produces CRTs. It's a fully automated plant and my section are in charge of making the famous Trinitron apperture gril.
Anyway, I still remembered there was once a group of Japanese craftsman came to visit our plant.
And some some of my colleagues were assigned to attach with them and learn.
These craftsman turn out to be ladies (wow!) and they showed us how to do some of the work manually (WTF!) and the skills they have really put to shame the local guys, we stand and watch and totally stunned.
The crafmanship and professionalism in their skill is truely awesome.
