I wouldn't ever say "Bob types by touch" in any writing of any formality level, just as you would never, ever hear anyone say "he doesn't have the music memorized, he just reads by sight". It would always be "he just sight reads". | |

| Jan 18, 2015 at 3:51 | comment | added | Sasha Vodnik | That certainly works, although I'd replace the hyphen with a space (Because Bob can touch type, ...). The preference for a hyphen over a space can vary regionally, though. | |
| Jan 18, 2015 at 3:18 | comment | added | timothy.s.lau | I meant "Because Bob can touch-type he can watch the lecturer and type simultaneously." | |
| Jan 18, 2015 at 3:16 | comment | added | Sasha Vodnik | You could certainly say "Because Bob touch types..." | |
