Yes, the word 'typing' is a gerund, a verbal noun; the present participle of the verb to type that functions as a noun. The present participle of the verb also functions as an adjective.

Examples:

  • Typing is a skill I learned in school. (noun, subject of the sentence)
  • These chemicals are used for blood typing. (noun, object of the preposition 'for')
  • She is typing her essay. (verb)
  • I need to check it for typing errors. (adjective, describes the noun 'errors')
