Your score: 227 keys per minute ~ 45 words per minute Language/mode: po Ranking: Not bad! Comparison: 43% of registered TyperA users using this language have typed a better result; 57% have a lower or equal result.Allen and brotherS: how can you type so fast? You must have a special keyboard, right? Or your keyboard only lasts for one month?

hrm, seems pretty fscked up... appearantly I missed one word at the start, and what I thought was highlighting of the current word to type was indicating I was typing wrong - doh. I was pretty fast tho

allen · « **Reply #5 on:** January 30, 2006, 09:16 AM »

I've just got a plain jane keyboard that came with cheap emachines computer

I've been coding web pages/scripts for a few years though. (What's your excuse, mouser?

Actually I've slowed down a good bit over the last few years.

Hehe... no, just a 'natural' keyboard - that's in use for more than a year already now and still looks pretty good...

Hmm

Your score: system error: divided by null.
Sorry but our system can't manage your backwardnesses speed. Please try to type a little bit faster. Do you want to try again?

Ah... but,

Mistakes:

I have a neurosis that prevents me from allowing mis... mis-sp... misspelling
Seriously, for some weird reason, typos stick out like sore thumbs to me and my worst habit is to "Preview" my forum posts until my eyes go all sandy...

nudone · « **Reply #13 on:** January 30, 2006, 03:33 PM »

well, i thought i was a fast typer as i do touch-typing - my score isn't even worth repeating here as it is so low. a shall return after i've worn my fingers down to stubs - maybe.

f0dder · « **Reply #14 on:** January 30, 2006, 03:42 PM »

I have a fairly fast typing speed, but it has the disadvantage of bringing a number of typos with it. If I could slow down a bit, my net result would be a higher wpm I think...

mouser · « **Reply #15 on:** January 30, 2006, 07:52 PM »

i agree with Edvard, i think this typing test is anti-corrector biased. all you who are scoring higher than me are obviously making a trillion mistakes that you are able to ignore and not correct, wyle my typingg is alwayz correketed to prefection and thatts why im' being peanilized.

So I stink at typing random words. I tend to get ahead of the system. If I know what I will be typing I can think ahead a word or two and increase my overall speed. Plus, yes, I like to correct my mistakes.

I never was really good in typing class

mouser · « **Reply #17 on:** January 30, 2006, 11:41 PM »

you know this is a great point that hadn't ocured to me.
this test may be as much a test of READING fast and connecting reading to writing as a test of typing.
the rest of us are faster at typing their own thoughts, you guys are just freaks of nature.
yeah thats my story and im sticking to it.

Any more DC members willing to share their typing speed with us?

I can't touch type so I was damed from the start. Luckly in programming I think more slowly than I type so it doesn't handicap me.

Just thought I'd update the thread with another shy highscore. Tried to beat myself

nudone · « **Reply #24 on:** April 08, 2006, 02:53 PM »

must say i'm amazed at these high speeds people are getting. perhaps yet another example of how we tend to believe we are above the average in most things - well, i certainly have to accept my typing is certainly below the average around here. i thought 50 was fast before i saw this thread.
