× I prefer typing because umm, right now I have a wrist pain.
✓ I prefer typing because right now I have wrist pain.
Use of article 'a' before uncountable 'wrist pain' is incorrect. 'Wrist pain' is an uncountable condition, so omit the article. Also remove filler 'umm' for clarity.
× I'm struggle with handwriting so I prefer typing.
✓ I'm struggling with handwriting, so I prefer typing.
The verb phrase needs the present continuous form 'am struggling' to match 'I'm'. The original used base form 'struggle' after contraction 'I'm', causing a structure error. Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so'.
× I don't yeah, I think I do type on uh, desktop keyboard every day because my work is related to record every single data on it.
✓ Not really; I think I do type on a desktop keyboard every day because my work involves recording data on it.
Multiple issues: 'I don't yeah' is unclear and ungrammatical — replace with 'Not really.' 'Desktop keyboard' needs an article 'a'. 'Related to record every single data' is incorrect; use 'involves recording data' and 'data' is uncountable so omit 'every single' or use 'every single piece of data' if needed. Also remove filler 'uh'.
× So I need you to use the keyboard every day.
✓ So I need to use the keyboard every day.
The pronoun 'you' is incorrect in context; the speaker refers to themselves, so use the infinitive 'to use' with correct subject implied: 'I need to use.'
× I think when I was in elementary school I learn about how to type on a keyboard.
✓ I think when I was in elementary school I learned how to type on a keyboard.
The action occurred in the past, so use the past tense 'learned' instead of present 'learn.' Also 'learn about how to type' is redundant; simply 'learned how to type' is correct.
× Also that's why my typing is fast rather than the other people I because I ignored in some digital course in elementary school.
✓ Also that's why my typing is faster than other people's, because I took a computer course in elementary school.
Errors: comparison should use comparative 'faster' and proper comparison structure 'faster than other people's.' 'The other people I' is ungrammatical. 'Ignored in some digital course' is wrong; likely intended 'I attended/took a digital (computer) course.' Use 'took a computer course' for clarity.
× I don't I don't say I'm not trying to improve my typing, but if I need to improve my typing, I use some like program for typing fast.
✓ I wouldn't say I'm not trying to improve my typing, but if I need to improve, I use programs that help me type faster.
Original has confusing negatives and tense. 'I wouldn't say I'm not trying' clarifies intention. Use plural 'programs' or 'a program' and correct adjective order 'type faster' rather than 'typing fast.' Also avoid filler 'like'.
× So like uh, check the typo.
✓ For example, I check for typos.
Use a clear expression: 'For example' instead of filler 'So like uh.' 'Check the typo' should be 'check for typos' (plural or uncountable) and verb phrase place 'check for'.
× Yeah, that is like how how I am improve my typing.
✓ Yeah, that is how I improve my typing.
After 'how' use base form or present simple 'I improve' to describe habitual action. 'I am improve' mixes present continuous auxiliary with base verb incorrectly. If using continuous, say 'how I am improving my typing.' Also remove duplicated 'how' and filler 'like.'
