Improve my accuracy and speed typing?

Does anyone know where I can find a website or free download that will allow me to improve my typing accuracy and speed, I am fairly quick already, but only when I am just typing something from the top of my head. If I have to read something and type, I get all flustered and slow down and my accuracy lessens. I would loke to get a data entry job at home, but most of the require 50-80 wpm please help me. Thanks for any suggestions!

    You don't really need a typing program to improve your accuracy & speed, although it would help. Practice a minimum of 30 minutes a day, using specific keys untill your fingers just know where to go without thought. Use a dictionary to help you to read & type those words accuratly. Pick a section that begin with letters that are harder for you to type, just go down the list. Later type the description, you will also learn some new words to. Once you get comfortable with words, get a cook book or a statement from bill, etc, to get used to the numbers. Practice using the 10 key side of the key board. steadfast 1 <><

    I tried the three minute typing test. Here is my outcome. My typing speed for word per minute is 46 and my accuracy is 96 percent. I did the best that I can for to succeed myself.

    Best of luck in your typing skills!
