typist
A typist is defined by the mechanical skill of operating a keyboard to produce text. While it was once a distinct and common professional job title, it is now more frequently used to describe a specific skill or a temporary role within a broader job description, such as an administrative assistant or a legal secretary.
In modern contexts, calling someone a "typist" can sometimes feel dated or reductive, as most office workers are expected to type as a basic requirement of their job. However, the term remains precise when referring to professional transcriptionists or people hired specifically for their speed and accuracy in data entry.
When describing someone's ability, "skilled typist" or "fast typist" are the standard collocations to emphasize proficiency rather than just the occupation.
