Abstract:
A method for correcting a user's habitual keyboarding error comprising(a) identifying a key that is habitually mis-keyed by a user; (b) providing a set of markers, each of said markers adapted to be adhered to the top of a key on a keyboard in a manner as not to cover the key symbol, each of said markers having an indicating side and an adhering side, each of said markers having an adhesive on the adhering side of each marker adapted to allow the marker to be removably adhered to the top surface of the key, and each of said markers having a raised indicium on the indicating side of each marker that can be tactually identified by the user; (c) selecting a marker from the set of markers; (d) applying said selected marker to the key that is habitually mis-keyed in a manner as not to cover the key symbol on the key; and, (e) tactually identifying the key if the key is mis-keyed whereby the user is provided immediate feedback about the keyboarding error so that the mis-keying habit can be broken and repeat errors are minimized.
