Typing speed
Monday, August 13, 2001 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Just curious, how fast in words per minute would you say you type?
I type between 120wpm and 130wpm depending on what I'm doing.

On an IRC chat room a couple years ago I was accused of being a bot.

120? damn that's fast... 
I dunno, I guess I'm around 60 or 70 words a min... maybe more, not sure.
Anyone got a link to a Java or Javascript speed test website that we could all use to test ourselves?

No wonder, at twenty words per minute you have ample time to spell check. Oh no, what am I doing, I'm comparing type speeds and deriving status from it, argh!

But these are probably not completely accurate. I cannot touchtype and only really use a few fingers. I can type faster if I don't have to actually read something and take my eyes off the keyboard. At work I have often been accused of just tapping random keys. Mostly when typing emails or into messageboards you don't actually have to read the words first. If I could memorise that whole piece of text and then type it I could probably reach another 10 wpm.
In order to test this I restarted the test again but typed what I would be typing into this window instead. Please note the Accuracy amount. Better than I expected seeing as I didn't type any of what was written for the test.

This wireless logitech keyboard has some issues in being responsive so sometimes when I hit two letters at nearly the same time, it inverts them.

I don't know the typing method, I just type with 4 or 5 fingers... And as pjpowell, I type much faster when I don't have to look at the screen and at the keyboad at the same time. Let me try again, typing something out of my mind instead.
Okay, I get 56 wpm when I type without looking at the screen. Better, but only half Froggies' speed... !
