Is there any software to introduce a lag on one side of the keyboard to compensate for one hand typing faster than the other and making mistakes?

Most people have a dominant hand. Mine is the right. So if I type "from", I get "form" because the O comes form my faster right hand. Although the signal from my brain comes at the same time, that side reacts faster.

OK, dude, you not only have this weird issue to begin with, but you
want a software solution? Are you one of these morons who thinks
there's a pill for every problem, or some shit, I'll just install some
amazing new software to help me type?

You're a retard.

You are full of shit. You should find a software to learn to type properly.

Try these typing tutor software:

I wouldn't say it that strongly, but I kind of agree. I flip letters around some times too, but I sort of think the
letters as I'm typing them and I try to type like piano teachers do with a metronome in my head. Slows down the speedy
hand. I used to hit 60wpm, granted now I'm down to 30 but the good part of touch typing is that you can watch the screen
and not the keyboard and catch the errors. Yes I know you catch them but hell, nobody's perfect.

All that aside, I don't think you'll ever find such a program.

You are certainly very quick when using Messages. Fairly accurate too. :-)

I guess if I welded two keyboards together, and got the computer to somehow delay typing from one of them.... Must be a circuit that could be placed in series on the USB cable. Or I suppose a really clever circuit that looked at the keypress being sent and adjusted it accordingly. In fact it could then even spellcheck. Why don't computers do that? My phone corrects spelling without asking, if it's obvious. My computer only underlines in red (if the particular program does so).

I know macOS has a setting where you have to hold a key down for X time before
it registers. Windows might.

macOS has it, and I have it on. Explains some of my typos.

So many people type form instead of from, someone must have made one.

Sounds like one of those weird accessibility thins. I doubt it would delay some keys more than others.

Globally? Spellchecks in Windows are per app.

Ah yes, MacOS is communist, I forgot.

There is a global one for macOS. Some apps ignore it.

The from/form typo occurs not because of the dominant hand,
but because the hands function in parallel, whereas the
finger on each hand -- more or less in sequence. I therefor
frequently make both typos: from->form (RL), list->lsit
(LR).

Not that I am aware of. If you can code, you can try writing a
driver that does what you want to do. But it would be much
easier to teach yourself self discipline and slow
down your faster hand so it's in tune with the slower
one. And it won't depend on any specific piece of hardware or software.

I've come to the conclusion sometimes my left hand is faster and sometimes my right. Not sure why, but it means I can't get software to compensate.

Likely tied to muscle memory and what word you are typing. Or what you are

I like more how, say, Photoshop deals with a color picker. It has its own, BUT
you can also use the system one. That gives you the best of both worlds.

Yes I've recently noticed some typos are the other way round. I don't understand that. Surely the part of your brain which understand spelling is handing out the letters in order, F R O M. So the left hand should receive the R before the right hand receives O.

So my stupid muscles (like the memory is actually in there) remember typing form and type form instead of from? But I type from much more often. Or is the sequence OR more common than RO?

Typing.

Agreed. Although I'd never use Photoshop, too complicated and slow.
