How fast do you type?

Recommended Posts

46. Considering I never learned to type the right way and tried to correct some screw ups, I'm happy.

When I graduated, it was 84 wpm with no errors, but that was straight out of typing school. I quit practicing for awhile, but my job is much easier with speed-typing, so I've gotten back into practice, and I'm back up to 73 wpm with 1 error, according to the test.

I used to type a lot faster before I landed on my right hand. Now I am typing 30 words a minute resting for 30 seconds and typing another 30 words a minute.
If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound.
Nothing to eat, no books to read.

but could it have been the 3 phone calls I also took while typing



I'm always doing something else while typing too so it's hard to get a true WPM score.

:(:(
Did you wrap up your hand like I told you to? I'm thinking that you didn't, or you wouldn't be typing more than 15 wpm...or even typing at all!
You need to behave!

wrapping bandages around your hand is something is something a true pussy would do. Is that what you want me to be?
Ok just kidding but its really not that bad. Besides it needs to breathe and exercise is always good. I think this typing here is a good workout.

It's been breathing because you wouldn't wrap it up before!
And exercise is only good when it's building strength; when you have an injury like yours, it's going to just weaken it more.
What is it with men and injuries? Don't they know that women know what's best for them? Listen to me, damn it!

ok lets not use words like injury before rumours spread that I am in a wheel chair or dead . Lets just go with unpleasant feeling in my trigger hand. Oh crap! Now that the word is out my enemies will take this advantage to come kill me today. Help I need protection I can't fire my gun!!! Damn! I should have made it a point to learn to shoot left handed.

ok time to challenge this. Fact is, in the guiness book of world records. The last time I read this, the record was at 170 WPM with a ten word deduction for each mistake. Anybody claiming to type 200 words per minute is either, mistaken about their abilities, outright lying or deserves an award and therefore should contact the guiness book of worlds record.

No, that's fairly normal using a court reporting type typewriter. It doesn't use a normal 101-key keyboard, it uses something like a 9 key keyboard, not with letters, but with letters representing sounds.

I think what you're are referring to to steno not typing. And for obvious reasons there is a big difference.

agreed...this goes back to shorthand...of course, it's really cool if you know shorthand AND can type fast
but it IS different!
