Typing Test

[WRoss]

Someone posted this on LNet the other day and I've been messing around with it recently. Try it out and post your high score. So far, I think I've gotten up to 118 WPM, though I seem to be stuck at around 100 regularly.

Here's what I just got:

Your speed:

112 wpm
Time:

Accuracy:

99.7%

Ah. Only 60 wpm. It's strange typing words I don't usually have any business typing. Who cares if some guy got 126wpm in 1888. Generally most of the words I type are words that I always use. Get used to typing them, type faster.

Yeah.

[droit]

I'm stuck at 80 wpm. :(

[Gnome Rage]

I love typeracer. I got 107 with 98.7% accuracy. Oh well.

Yesss. 99.2% accuracy and 107 again!

[Deathravin]

For most people, to get much higher than 90wpm you have to use a Dvorak keyboard. Which lets you pretty easily get into the 110+ range.

Your speed:

109 wpm
Time:

0:19
Accuracy:

Boop boop! I get pathetically addicted to this shit.

[WRoss]

I do this all on a 15 inch laptop. Wonder what a real keyboard would do.

Pretty sure I can type faster. But I'd attract too much clickety clackety attention at work. I'll post a result later at home.

I got like a 60, apparently typing is not my thing.

How does a dvorak keyboard allow you to type faster?

How does a dvorak keyboard allow you to type faster?

A flux capacitor is attached underneath. Once you get to 88 wpm, well you have to figure the rest out.

[waywardgs]

The most used letters are more readily accessible to your main finger position. The qwerty keyboard was an ill-concieved design as far as efficiency is concerned.

edit: flux capacitor.

I don't think I could possibly switch keyboards now, but I'm at about 130 WPM with my laptop QWERTY keyboard.

[Deathravin]

You can always change your keyboard layout with the OS - it's hard to learn at first but you get used to it pretty quickly. I was just learning and might have got up to about 40wpm last time I tried to switch.

The only problem is you have to change all your keyboards on all your computers. So that means if you're in IT or otherwise enough of a nerd you have to change all the keyboards on all your computers, virtual machines and all servers you work on as well.

It's a big hassle. But fun if you're bored. Last time I did it, this cartoon came out, my boss saw it and gave me a bunch more work to do.
