How Fast can you TYPE!?

[dllavaneras]

Wow, that thing sucks in Spanish. No tildes whatsoever! Excluding that, I normally do about 70 WPM

 

[GnrlyMrly]

53WPM

It's pretty sad that I'm probably the fastest typer among my friends

 

[gadgetgirl85]

91WPM with 94% accuracy. I'm so out of practice

 

[nitynate]

62WPM....
No, I didnt take any classes.

 

[vanzskater272]

I started at 34 but then i got quicker and got my speed up to 42 wpm.

 

[Zwhaler]

If I try I can probably do more than 86. But on average I will do below that.

I just have one thing to say. THANK GOD, I DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE A TYPING TEST TO GET MY JOB!!!!

I did get 41/37 which isn't too bad seeing as how I typed slower than that in typing class!! lol

I hated typing class. I now work in IT which I do some typing but not alot. I just babysit computers all day or night whichever shift I have to cover.

Here are a couple of games to practice your typing if you need it or just want to waste time.

45 WPM. I'm in the 8th grade, so give me a break.

Hehe I'm in the same grade and got 83 WPM on a test we took today.

Any other Dvorak users here?

76 WPM gross; 62 WPM net. I made 14 errors, but I got missed a word at one point, so I'm not really that bad. I typed around 40 WPM back when I used QWERTY. I have no formal training in typing, so I guess I did alright.

I type one finger at a time... sort of.

Not very fast at the keyboard, and ever worse with the spell check.

gross: 39
net: 37

About 27 wpm. I just forget to capitialize. Not good at touch typing

Then I guess it's sad I'm the fastest typer in my school.

And it's because I don't type in home row. I know they tried to teach me, but I never could get it, no matter how much I practiced. It's funny, becuase I type with my index finger on my right hand, but I type with my middle finger on my left. And yet, I blow everyone else in the 7th and 9th grades out of the water...

Maybe we need more then a half semester of "general" computer classes, huh?

Okay then. Perhaps it's because I'm most likely the only person in my entire school who doesn't use chatspeak on MSN, etc so I've adapted to capitalization etc (And we have preschool through grade 12)

Thanks, savanahrose! That was fun. I got 89,411 on my first game (after choosing "easy"). I wonder if that's any good.

The best part was trying to get a screen capture, while playing live, as letter Q's went by.
