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.
What does 130WPM look like?

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 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 | ||

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 | ||

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... | ||
