Well for me accuracy is more important and speed is just a bonus but most of the recruiter, typing speed is more important.

In my role I do little straightforward typing, I do a great deal of creating documents from scratch where I have the control of layout, design, etc. Although there are deadlines to get these to press, it is attention to accuracy and detail that makes the difference to the finished document. Right first time because there is nothing more tedious than reproofing documents over and over again.

For me, accuracy is more important than speed. What's the use of Speed when all you type were squabbled words? Better to be more accurate in what you do than fast.

Accuracy is More More Important Than speed. Speed will come by Practice.  If it's Accurate we don't want to spend time for  re type again.

It is important to maintain accuracy because if you maintain accuracy, you will not tyoe the same words once again then your speed will already increase.

Accuracy is  crucial, but i think for becoming a best typist you have to concentrate on the screen consciously. would have to well control on  the keyboard and fingertips of you hand.

Accuracy is of utmost importance but then that may amount to nothing if work is not completed because of lack of speed.
