How can I improve my typing accuracy?

Question

No matter how careful I try to be, even going back and checking, I seem to be seeing an awful lot of typographical errors in everything I type these days.  I do touch-type, and except for certain symbols I may not use a great deal, I find it easier not to look at the keys.  I need to keep a reasonable speed up if I hope to be able to find clerical work when I need to. Any online typing tests that are particularly good to practice on?  Any books? Honestly, sometimes I see what I've done the next day and it not only looks like I can't spell but it looks like I hardly understand English.  Spell check won't catch it if you actually type something that is an actual word (but not the one you wanted).  For example, if I meant to type "to rush", but wound up typing "thrush"--well thrush is a type of bird--or a yeast infection.

1 way to help improving your typing accuracy is to get used into the habit of "pronouncing words correctly". Often when you are typing, you are match the words to your pronunciation. this can cause typing inaccuracy when going through words that has similar pronunciation or when typing something you tends to slur on. You can also focus and "think" of the word you are going to type.

Frequent practicing will also help with accuracy as well as typing speed.
