how many more words can you type on the Dovak keyboard than Qwerty?

The Dvorak keyboard is designed for efficiency and speed, allowing users to type faster than on the QWERTY keyboard. While individual results can vary significantly based on a person's typing skill and familiarity with each layout, some studies suggest that Dvorak users can type 20-40 words per minute faster than QWERTY users. However, the exact number of additional words typed can differ widely from one person to another. Ultimately, the benefits depend on the user's proficiency with the Dvorak layout.


What other kinds of computer keyboards are there than qwerty?

yes Strictly, there is no such type of computer called a QWERTY. But the QWERTY keyboard design is not the only one, in fact, it is one of the least efficient types of keyboard design. It was designed so that original mechanical typewriters could keep up with human speeds, it in fact, slows down typing, it is designed so that all the vowels are placed all around the keyboard so that it takes longer to reach them. The other popular, more efficient design of keyboard is known as the Dvorak- it places the letters in the most efficient places for the human fingers. http://www.chimoosoft.com/Images/dvorak/dvorak.jpg - is a reasonable picture of the Dvorak. There are numerous other keyboard designs, but the Dvorak is the most popular.


What is meant by a Dvorak keyboard and how are they used in Ham Radio?

The Dvorak keyboard has nothing to do with Amateur Radio, other than some Hams prefer to use it. John Dvorak, a number of years ago, set out to create a more logical keyboard than what we have inherited from typewriters. His system changes the keys around so that the vowels and very common consonants can be typed with your two index fingers. The slightly less common consonants are typed by the middle finger, and so on. The result is that somewhere around 90% of you keystrokes can be done by just the index and middle fingers. The Dvorak keyboard is much easier for a beginner to learn than the QWERTY keyboard.

Why is a qwerty keyboard more appropriate layout than dvorak?

The QWERTY layout is more widely adopted and familiar to the majority of users, making it easier for people to use and share devices without needing to relearn keyboard skills. Its design was originally optimized to prevent jamming on early typewriters, and despite its inefficiencies, it has become entrenched in education, workplace standards, and software compatibility. As a result, the vast ecosystem built around QWERTY, including typing courses and ergonomic accessories, supports its continued use over alternative layouts like Dvorak.

How do you change a keyboard to DVORAK?

This will involve making two changes: one to your keyboard, and the other to Windows. First, gently pry up the keys on your keyboard with a butter knife, screwdriver, or some other flat, sturdy object. Reinsert the keys in the Dvorak layout (there are pictures available on the internet). Next, you will need to tell Windows to use the Dvorak layout rather than QWERTY. Open your Control Panel, select "Regional and Language Options", select the "languages" tab, Click the Details button under "Text services and input languages." Click the Add button, select "Dvorak", and confirm. You should now be able to use a Dvorak keyboard.


Why are the keys all mixed up on a keyboard?

The QWERTY keyboard was developed in the days of mechanical typewriters. It was discovered that a skilled typist could type much faster than the machinery could cope with, and the typewriters often jammed. The QWERTY keyboard places the most-used keys in such a way that is was possible to design a typewriter that allowed typists to type faster with less jams. Over the years modern typewriters and eventually computer keyboards retained this layout because of the huge majority of typists which were trained in its use. Several other layouts have been developed, Dvorak, Colemak, and more. There is much debate as to whether these are any more efficient.
