How fast can you type? Use the website linked below to test your speed. I just managed 68. Sure, Shawn will probably get somewhere in the millions as will you oldies... but I tried. Anyway, give it a go. It would be interesting to see who can type the fastest.

I type in LPM - letters per minute.

Psssst - talking of typing, the tagline under your user name should only have one letter f but two of the letter s - Professional.

PS, I was a pedant at birth!!

I can type about 150 words per minute as long as the words are no longer than 2 letters. Is, of, no, in, by, to, on, etc

Don't want to imply that I'm slow or anything ... but we have a TV news show called 60 Minutes. Takes me two hours to watch it.

Probably because of all the commercials.

What's typing?

 

[wilywombat]

As many as my index and middle fingers on both hands will allow!! On another note...I have a different problem, that is that I become dyslexic between my brain and my finger tips!! Eg. and gets spelt as adn and regards becomes regrads. May be I should start a dyslexic fingers topic!!

My kids say I'm the worst typist ever! I've been computing for nearly 30 years but still tend to watch the keys as I type. I've always told my kids that I don't get paid for typing fast, I get paid for knowing what to type and when they reach that point then they can criticize my typing.

I think that DeanP (now banned member) has already opened thread for this.

 

[Joan Archer]

Yes I was just going to comment that we'd already had a thread for this, I didn't bother taking it again and can't remember what my score was before but I touch type, not that well as it's been too many years since I was in college trying out audio typing.

I'm on the computer around 10 hours a day pretty much everyday. Just have short, stubby, uncoordinated fingers I guess!

I did the Tiger Test, and did 78WPM with 3 word errors, for an accuracy of 96%, with an adjusted speed of 75wpm. This was from my desktop computer with an ergo keyboard.

On my laptop, on the Tiger test, I got 72wpm with 1 word error for an accuracy of 98%, with an adjusted speed of 71wpm.
