blind typing

Typing without looking

Blind typing is typing without looking at the keyboard, relying on muscle memory to locate keys.

The term is largely synonymous with touch typing, though blind typing emphasizes the visual aspect—eyes on the screen or document rather than the keys: She learned blind typing in high school and never looked back.
