Have you ever wanted to write backwards? Backwards, with the letters upside down and rotated? All these things are possible thanks to the wonders of technology and manual skills. Here's how to do it.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: A Reading Challenge
Step 1. Search the internet for "type backwards"
Do not return to this page! You should find a list of character generators that can allow you to modify the text you type in many ways.
Typeupsidedown.com, upsidedowntext.com, and Branah.com/upsidedown are all great reverse text generation services, which also give you the ability to tweet what you're writing
Step 2. Choose a site that "translates" what you write in reverse text
Write what you want!. Or rather £ $% £ backslash% $ (£.
Remember, since the text is upside down, you should read it from right to left. It's not that easy right?
Step 3. Use your own text
Now that you have your upside-down text available, you can find a thousand uses for it. You could waste your Facebook friends' time and crack your code. Can you even write ridiculous articles on wikiHow? Use creativity.
If you use the reverse text too often, you will end up with a headache. And you will also make it come to all those who will have to read what you write. Not everyone will appreciate this challenge. Use your new tool without overdoing it
Method 2 of 2: A Writing Challenge
Step 1. Buy a wireless keyboard
You can find a decent one for around € 20 and a very good one for around € 50. Do some comparative research on the internet to find the one that's right for you.
As you will notice later, the wireless keyboard is not entirely necessary. But in this case the next step will be easier
Step 2. Rotate the keyboard
Now you really have to test your brain. Typing with a regular keyboard is for beginners… ⅄┴ɹƎMQ are the first letters you will see now. You will need to use numbers with your thumb and space with your index finger.
The text on the screen will remain normal. For this method you will not have to read code texts - you will have to literally reprogram your hands. If you used to type 90 words per minute, this will probably turn into 5. A real challenge
Step 3. Practice
Writing like this will be very, very difficult, especially if you have been writing on the computer for years and have learned to do it without looking at the keys. Now your mind won't know where to put your fingers and that will probably stop you from thinking about what to write. The only thing you will be able to think will be "Why am I doing this ?!". Relax and keep trying. You will improve.
In a few weeks, you will learn to write in any orientation. When you get good at it, try using your computer from the front and the back. For a real challenge, use one of those old computers with bulky monitors. A flat screen wouldn't make you struggle enough
Step 4. Show off your skills
Don't tell anyone what you are capable of. Then, take everyone by surprise. Bet with your friends that you can write the first canto of the Divine Comedy upside down before they can recite it. Can you do it even with your eyes closed?
Tell your friends that you have learned the art of detaching the brain from the constraints of reality and that you can take any image and turn it upside down in your mind. When you start typing, you see the keyboard as if it were normal. Wow! Of what material will they have to erect the statue for you?
Advice
- Using a generator is much easier than typing with the keyboard backwards.
- When you type backwards from the top of your computer, it will also be a challenge to read what you are typing.
