What is essential in typing? Speed or Accuracy?

Many people stress on speedy typing keeping in mind their more and more stuff to be finished. While I personally prefer accuracy and not mere speed.

Both but for the true typing experience, Accuracy is important.

Typing a whole paragraph full of spelling and grammar mistakes, is difficult to read, a waste of time and a bad reflection on the typist.

Speed is good to get as much information down as possible, but this is useless if the words have been misspelt and the information cannot be read or understood.

So a good standard f both is what is beneficial to both the typist and company, and to who ever will read the information.

Accuracy an speed must not be considered seperately. A competent professional must have100% accuracy with simultaneous speed which must go together.

Both seem to matter to me.You need to develop speed with time and ensure as you get better,your accuracy is enhanced.It is so bad to read a script which has so many mistakes from a professional typist.I have taught myself to be fast in typing but l ensure l make as few mistakes as is possible.This is through a deliberate analysis of what l write or type.

Accuracy . because when you type properly you save time . do you work in the exact time. but rushing in doing your job will take more time in checking and correcting the unseen mistakes.
