Well, it looks like this.


Really does not look all that impressive, to tell the truth. But, I recorded it and uploaded it so I figure I may as well share it.

I always find those tests weird. They're applicable for really boring jobs where you do have to copy stuff, but if you are talking about sheer typing speed and accuracy, typing one's own thoughts is easily going to be much higher. Also, why did you aim the camera at your crotch instead of across the keyboard like a normal human being / every keyboard POV for a progamer ever.

I thought i was good at 85ish Looks amazing to me, i guess this is how other people feel when we have the typing contests at the end of whatever class is last on a friday.

I dont have a tripod or anything to rest the webcam on, so I did my best to angle it from the top of my monitor lol

ah typeracer :p
my best on typeracer was high 160s
managed to get #1 for the day several times

avg is 140-150 wpm for me but my hands don't seem to move fast according to other people.

Nice, my personal best is like 140ish on typeracer. I think I have reached a point where thought clarity hinders my speed more than anything else... sometimes when reading ahead I end up skipping a word because I am already kinda almost planning my keystrokes. I average around 120 as you can see, but I try to not type that fast all of the time because its a lot harder on my wrists compared to typing at a more comfortable 100-105ish

I think the hard part that slows you down are all the special marks, upper case letters, letters that are rarely used.

People who type correctly most of the time will naturally have an advantage on these typing tests because they are more accustomed to hitting capital letters and punctuation compared to those who just type in a more freeform style. That being said, typing that quickly is no mean feat, proper punctuation or no.

On average I type about 110. When I try really hard I can get about 120. If I practice the same text multiple times I get about 130/140. I really suck at punctuation and capitals and such, probably because of my bad forum habits. This is in Dutch however, English I am slower :/

I have like 70-80 but I have a terrible habit in that I only use 2 fingers for typing. I can type blindly without problems though. Maybe I should learn to type with more so I can hit a good speed but I don't know if it's still possible to learn that cause I've typed like this for years.

This is true. I actually am a lot slower on words that I rarely see/use as well, even if it uses fully commonplace characters.

ohh shit.... I just tried it, and could only do 42 and 48 ;_; (maybe it is because English is not my main language, but still... 130 is kinda impressive imo.
You can attack with this?!

I made a 150 WPM typeracer video a while back:



It also doesn't look that fast. I always told people that for people who really typed fast, you wouldn't be able to tell because their fingers will move efficiently.

I played a lot of typeracer a few years ago, at my best I averaged around ~150 with a high of 170. I even learned Dvorak from scratch and made it to 100 WPM within a month or two, and the typeracer site creator featured a graph of my progress in a blog post. lol. I was really bored in law school...
