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.

    Try this: http://www.typingtest.com/

    There's a typing test that you can practise on. Usually Do you look at your keyboard when you're typing from a script? To type fast you have to sight read the script and refrain from looking at your fingers/keyboard too often. Are you very familiar with your keys? Try drawing out the keyboard without looking at it. See if you get the placement of the alphabets right. =)
