What is your typing speed?

[d_stilgar]

My results were:

typing rate: 44 wpm
words typed: 75
mistakes made: 8
4.7 mistakes per minute

I am going to have to agree that transcription is going to make you slower than just typing whatever comes out of your head. Nonetheless, I do not brag at all about my typing speed. I'm pretty slow regardless.

I'd be over 100wpm if it didn't have me pause to figure out why it would go any further, lol. That makes me sound dumber than it should but me tired.

The trick is to relax. I stopped trying to race and ended up with:

your typing rate is : 91 wpm
words typed : 75
mistakes made : 10
which is 12.0 mistakes per minute

on my first shot at it today.

When I was taking a typing class back in high school, I reached 160wpm. I was pretty stoked since I was WASTING everyone else in the class. But then I realized that I was the only one who thought I was the **** and that it is, in fact, not that cool to be able to type really really fast. lol

I'm only getting like 40-70wpm these days and with lots of errors. But hitting the backspace is like hitting the space bar to me, so I really wouldn't count those as errors since they're only errors for a second or two. :shrugs:

35...

4.7 mistakes per minute.

I have a habit of hitting double spaces between sentences (the way I was taught) so it counted those as mistakes too.

My mom had a typing speed somewhere over 150 and the SO is way faster than that. In fact she hates the wireless keyboards because even the tiniest bit of lag throws her off (and even the best wireless keyboard has lag when she types). I have witnessed her tossing a wireless keyboard across the room. Whats even better is that I have seen her talk on the phone, talk to me AND type over 150wpm without any mistakes. I call her "Fingers of Fury!"

I find it much harder to type something that I'm reading than to just type something out of my head.

Me too. That really messed me up.

Ill third that. and i also do the double space between sentences, so its way more thinking involved trying to break a habit and type what is 'written'.
