How do I learn touch typing from zero?

How is WPM (words per minute) calculated?

ZGTyping uses the standard formula: (characters typed / 5) / minutes elapsed. A "word" is defined as 5 characters, matching the convention used by every major typing test site.

Tick every item below — these five habits prevent injury and unlock real speed:

Sit straight, back supported, feet flat on the floor.Wrists neutral — float them above the keyboard, do not rest them on the desk while typing.Eyes on the screen, not on the keys. Trust your fingers.Elbows at ~90°, shoulders relaxed, screen one arm-length away.Find the F and J bumps with your index fingers — these are your anchor points.

About this phase

Before any keys: lock in proper posture. This single habit prevents RSI and decides whether you ever break 60 WPM.

Eyes Up

Try not to look at the keyboard. Use the virtual keyboard on screen as a guide.
