RE: how fast can you type? by Vazza on 09-14-2005 at 08:27 AM

Last time I did one of those things it was 100 wpm but I don'tdo the whole correct fingers on correct keys thing. Used to drive my Admin teacher mad because of it.

That's 160 pages a minute.. approximately 2.5 pages per second. I think most people would struggle even doing 2.5 words per second..

RE: how fast can you type? by Lieter on 09-14-2005 at 03:43 PM

i think he means 800 words 8-)

thats like 2.5 words/sec..


RE: how fast can you type? by Anubis on 09-14-2005 at 04:06 PM

I type at around 50wps but I can go up to around 80wps. I learned a technique to use in school, the formal typist one, but I also use a bit of that hybrid with  my own way of typing, which works out fast and comfortable for me. I don't need to look at the keyboard at all any more, as soon as I sit infront of a computer its like I know where every key is.


RE: how fast can you type? by hexel on 09-14-2005 at 04:18 PM

About 50 WPM in English, a bit more in Estonian, but there're no tests to make sure how much that 'a bit' is.
800 pages in 5 minutes would be pretty cool though. :P


RE: how fast can you type? by booboo on 09-14-2005 at 06:17 PM

Could anyone give me a link to one of these Word testers please.
I want to see if i can write more than 1 word in a minute :)

RE: how fast can you type? by Mippo on 09-14-2005 at 06:46 PM

RE: how fast can you type? by Joe on 09-14-2005 at 09:06 PM

RE: how fast can you type? by [MR] on 09-14-2005 at 09:16 PM

RE: how fast can you type? by Rubber Stamp on 09-15-2005 at 08:33 AM

48 WPM, using proper technique (the fingers at teh right keys)


RE: how fast can you type? by dotNorma on 09-15-2005 at 12:37 PM

In keyboarding class, last semester I got up to 131 wpm.

But I normally type around 80-100 wpm using my own teqnique. (I use my middle finger to press erm...50% of the keys and I use the correct fingers for the rest.


RE: how fast can you type? by Tandy on 09-16-2005 at 06:36 AM

i cant remember the results the last time i did a typing test

it was like 50wpm or soemthing like that


RE: how fast can you type? by -rafy- on 09-16-2005 at 11:27 AM

about 50-60wpm


RE: how fast can you type? by lizard.boy on 09-16-2005 at 07:40 PM

around 70 usually.


RE: how fast can you type? by Exca on 09-16-2005 at 08:31 PM

I think I type fast enough not to be annoyed by myself.


RE: how fast can you type? by DJeX on 09-17-2005 at 05:30 AM

65 - 70, I made up my own typeing technique. It's basilcy use what ever finger is closest to that key sort of thing lol.


RE: how fast can you type? by -rafy- on 09-17-2005 at 08:55 AM

I dont use my 2 far left fingers/pinky for some reason....


RE: how fast can you type? by RebelSean on 09-17-2005 at 05:24 PM

I can type 82WPM, used to when I took keyboarding last year I typed ~95 WPM.


RE: how fast can you type? by haydos on 09-17-2005 at 05:32 PM

I can get close to 50wpm most of the time using correct fingers


RE: how fast can you type? by dylan! on 09-17-2005 at 05:39 PM

65 wmp


RE: how fast can you type? by Menthix on 09-17-2005 at 06:21 PM

Took the http://www.mrhall.org/languagearts/typing/wpm.htm test twice

- 42WPM typing Dutch
- 61WPM typing English

But in both situations i didn't know what to type :p Does anybody have a link to a better test that has a predifined text to type? (I could just have typed "a a a a a a a a a" and get 200WPM+ with this test :)).


RE: how fast can you type? by Alfa_Romeo on 09-17-2005 at 07:15 PM

about 90 wpm, but oculdn't think of what to write in the test thing.  Don't fully use the correct technique either, I don't use my pinkys to type anything. :P Of course, they never taught the correct way for us in school...kinda learned on my own.

RE: how fast can you type? by Pipish on 09-18-2005 at 12:16 AM

72wpm :)


RE: how fast can you type? by superjugy on 09-18-2005 at 01:00 AM

i can write like 75 wpm, in spanish but i have never take keyboard classes, so i write pretty fast for a guy that have never taken those classes. but i pass lots of hours behind a computer thats why, i use my own technique also, i have another question, do you see the keyboard to write, or you can see other thing to write? i can write with out watching keyboard but i do lots of errors, so i prefer to see the keyboard.

I make more mistakes by looking at the keyboard.. About 98% of the time I'm watching the screen.
RE: how fast can you type? by superjugy on 09-18-2005 at 02:51 PM

cool, i wish i could do that, cause when i have to copy something from a book i have to be moving my head a lot. this way i can only see the book and not the keyboard.


RE: how fast can you type? by Negro_Joe on 09-18-2005 at 02:56 PM

I used to be atrocious at typing but im getting better not exactly sure how fast though..:P
