Title: How fast can you type?
Post by: Rya on August 11, 2002, 01:43:47 AM: From the last time you got your typing speed tested, what was your words/minute?

Post by: SER on August 11, 2002, 02:20:41 AM: I\'m pretty fast actually. I was the fastest in word processing during my freshman year in high school. :laughing:

I was playing with those Mavis programs and I got up to 100+, but that\'s minus the numbers.. I\'m still slow with the numbers.

Post by: Samwise on August 11, 2002, 04:04:22 AM: Well Tyrant, judging from our MSN conversations, I\'d have to say around 2-3 words/min. ;)

Post by: videoholic on August 11, 2002, 05:02:00 AM: Wasn\'t there a thread on this a while ago that had a link to a place to test your speed? I forget.

EDIT:

Nevermind. There was no link.

I have no idea how fast I type tho, I\'d say faster than most people. We had all sorts of computer nerds in my classes, and some friends of mine who spend all day on the computer, and I\'m way faster than all of them.. meh well :)

God forbid trying to come up with things for people to talk about besides happy birthday. What makes you comment on my trying to help the board out in every post?

Or do you consider these three fascinating posts as the ideal threads of OT? BTW, these are the only three you have done in over a month besides the awards.

Back on topic.

Here is a speed tester:

I suck at typing from a piece of paper. I have a crutch where I have to look down every once and a while. I ended up with only 54. If I type from my brain I am up around 95.

get higher than 80 I\'ll be impressed.

My first try with it I got 54. I didn\'t even know what I was doing at first though so I lost several seconds.

Someone get a screen capture over 80. Especially those of you who say you type fast.
Title: How fast can you type?
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on August 11, 2002, 08:35:56 AM: Screen cap no work, but I got 76wpm, 95% accuracy.

But that sucks typing while reading! Typing while thinking your own words is about twice as fast (and accurate) for me! Like the way I\'m typing right now (with no errors (I\'m rambling)) I\'d be up about 100+!!!
Title: How fast can you type?
Post by: videoholic on August 11, 2002, 09:30:03 AM: Yeah, I can type real fast while rambling as well, but typing while reading is pretty tough for me. I need to try it again and see what my speed is. 54 wasn\'t very accurate since I lost several seconds.
Title: How fast can you type?
Post by: Fayded on August 11, 2002, 10:24:24 AM: I can type around 65-70 WPM. But with numbers i suck...i\'m incredibely slow. Right now I\'m typing pretty fast, probably around 70.

Damn 56k...that type speed tester program is taking forever. Arg.

Post by: Seraphim Pride on August 11, 2002, 11:22:13 AM: if I go for pure speed which us usually taking notes from a teacher as they talk I can do around 120wmp But if i take my time it\'s usually 70-85wpm

Post by: The Stapler on August 13, 2002, 10:15:01 AM: I got 45 wpm with 95%. I\'m slow.
Title: How fast can you type?
Post by: on August 13, 2002, 01:25:18 PM: On the typing test I got 60wpm with 98%.
That is totally off, because when I took the ATRT test, i got 98 wpm with 90% accuracy. I usually just time slower, because its alot easier.

Post by: JBean on August 13, 2002, 04:45:44 PM: Back in High School I was up around 60wpm in typing class using mavis beacon. But now a few years later i\'m probably a little faster.
