Maleeq: hehehehe...i just type that figure o! make una neva call me liar finish.

My initial post was a pun aimed at the poster that said he gets irritated when he sees people typing and at the same time searching for keyboard keys.

Yes, speed is one thing, accuracy should also be considered.

My computer school teacher then used to type above 120wpm on mavis. The first week of resumption, I was already on mavis and in less than 1 month, I became an expert. My speed really helped me in School cos it fetched me some cash.

It is a good thing when you type at high velocity. We got lots of at
tention in cybercafes. . .lol.

How are u pple counting ur WPM? In typing class, wpm is not counted by alphabets ooo. For those saying 200wpm. Even in final year in d uni, u are expected to type 60wpm/120wpm in shorthand. Now to count ur wpm, u are telln me dat u guys are typing, eg. 'Believe me, I have been waiting for the past 1 hour.' Now i just typed 11 words. Rememeber dat all ur caps must be represented accurately too.

Just checked the site now and my score was 38 wpm. I seriously used to think I was faster than that. i guess typing from your head is faster than when you have to read form a script. lol

Blugreen: Have you ever taken the speed of which you type into consideration?

Typing fast is key in gaining complete control over the time you spend on your pc. Typing without looking at the keyboard can be very useful most especially for programmers who really need to write complex codes and focus on the monitor to ensure no much mistake is done.

What typing software do you use in measuring your typing speed? I personally use Mavis Beacon typing software and the the highest speed I have ever recorded is 96 Words Per Minute(WPM) but mostly within the range of 80-90 WPM. How about you guys?

I can type as fast as lightening
Re: How Fast Can You Type? Do You Still Look At Your Keyboard? by AbuRuqayya1(m): 5:48pm On Jul 21, 2012
afam4eva: I've never checked how fast I type but I think I'm the fastest typist in the world. But the thing is, I don't use the conventional style of typing which is, placinf your fingers on the "ASDF:LKJ" keys. I just type scatter scatter.
if u didn't step forward u will always be in the same place...... increase ur speed development sir.
Re: How Fast Can You Type? Do You Still Look At Your Keyboard? by GboyegaD(m): 5:48pm On Jul 21, 2012
I type an average of 45-50 wpm and I thought I was very good not knowing I am just a slow typist on the PC. I think I need to see this as a challenge and I sure would increase my speed in the next few days.

I'm very fast with typing. But I see a lot of kids are lying. Mind you I started with manual typewriters. And I had my first computer in 1991. How many of una use 286 intel processor with 20mb HDD? Running your Wordperfect, pacman, and dangerous dave from ms-dos, even mavis beacon from msdos. Before Windows 3.1 because na that one be my first GUI OS. I did this test in a dark room

HEre are my results

http://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php
Your speed was: 77wpm.

You made 1 mistake, your mistake is shown in bold text:

It is a trite but true observation, that examples work more forcibly on the mind than precepts: and if this be just in what is odious and blameable, it is more strongly so in what is amiable and praiseworthy. Here emulation most effectually operates upon us, and inspires our imitation in an irresistible manner. A good man therefore is a standing lesson to all his acquaintance, and of far greater us in that narrow circle than a good book.

=======================================
The second test I made an attempt at speeed. First one is just my casual typing. I can do better. both test done in dark room. No looking of keyboard

Re: How Fast Can You Type? Do You Still Look At Your Keyboard? by Nobody: 7:26pm On Jul 21, 2012
with just one hand (cos my the nails on my left-hand are all grown), see below:

if i use both hands, it's triple the speed . . am not lying

Abt 50wpm, for me.
Re: How Fast Can You Type? Do You Still Look At Your Keyboard? by Nobody: 9:17pm On Jul 21, 2012
Am finding it extremely difficult to break my current record of 97 WPM. I did some typing today and the highest I could get was 81 words per minutes WPM with an accuracy of 91%. I have devotedly learned typing for about 5 months with the aim of breaking 120 WPM someday but the distance is still very far away. If you really want to learn how to type fast, install Mavis Beacon Typing Software in your pc and try to learn typing with it without looking at the keyboard.

PLEASE NOTE: Going below the accuracy of 87% is complete failure even if your words per minute is 1 million.
Re: How Fast Can You Type? Do You Still Look At Your Keyboard? by shilling(f): 9:31pm On Jul 21, 2012
85wpm but it's been a while since I checked. Learnt to type at 12 Yrs old and used to make cash in school typing my friends essays at school lol.
Re: How Fast Can You Type? Do You Still Look At Your Keyboard? by Nobody: 9:45pm On Jul 21, 2012

All those puttin numbers above 70 probably don't knw how to calculate it... Its not letters!!! Its WORDS!!
Re: How Fast Can You Type? Do You Still Look At Your Keyboard? by Nobody: 11:02pm On Jul 21, 2012
^^^ we know !!! and when we say 230 WPM, we really mean 230 words per minute
