Here are my results on my 2nd try, beat this if you can!
(Actually I did better on my first try, but I stopped early because it didn't seem like the damn thing was ever ending -- but it does end so you have to keep going until it tells you to stop)

163/33 with looking on keys (80/16 without)

My keyboard is Lysdexic. That's why I have Control-t to transpose last 2 chars typed. I opt out because it would be way too frustrating. 'sides, I was only in the mid-20s range using a physical typewriter when I took Typing 101.

Mouser you must be working on The Great American Novel(tm) !! That's pretty high score for a guy. There was one chick in my typing class that hit the 70 WPM range like a day after she was taught the basic keyboard drills. She's prolly up over 100 WPM now. Of course way back then, Typing Pool was a legitimate goal for entry into a business career.

I got stuck with an old Smith Corona manual with horrible action. The Royals had a much smoother stroke. I had to mash the keys to get the thing all the way to the paper to leave a legible letter.

And my results...

mouser · « **Reply #6 on:** August 05, 2012, 03:35 PM »

I REFUSE to accept that josh is a better typist than me.
Something is fishy.

mouser · « **Reply #7 on:** August 05, 2012, 03:58 PM »

I have demanded proof from josh, certain that it was a photoshop scam.. I have lost my wager and am now forced to acknowledge Josh is more skilled than me. I am still coming to grips with the repercussions of this new information. Is this today's new Army? Fastest typists on the planet? My world is rocked.

Hmm, sure he isn't using a macro program to feed the fire? heh heh

WOO HOO!
Your score: 165 CPM (that is 33 WPM)

Your score beats or equals 36.63% of all.

This is what it would look like if someone used a macro to cheat.
My real score is 51WPM

Josh · « **Reply #11 on:** August 05, 2012, 05:40 PM »

And now, from my wife!

mouser · « **Reply #12 on:** August 05, 2012, 06:22 PM »

out of curiosity can you explain how you would use a macro to cheat on something like this?

Nevermind, i see you can copy all of the source text and then paste using a tool that will past in clipboard using keys, like my own Clipboard Help+Spell:

I am not satisfied that this is my best. It's been a long time since I tried to speed type rather than just naturally type--and didn't really hit my flow til halfway in. Also, my son was talking to me. All excuses aside, I did beat Mouser so I'm content to leave Josh with the lead.

^ Hehe. At first I uploaded "speedtest" instead of "typingTest.jpg".

kyrathaba · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2012, 07:43 PM »

I'd say Josh currently holds the (legitimate) fastest typing speed record.

Typing Speed Competition!

Or if I use the G15 with a 2ms character delay:

What is the G15?

jaden · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2012, 12:44 PM »

So close to beating Josh, but my hands are tired now.

-kunkel321 (August 06, 2012, 11:55 AM)

I think it's the Logitech G15 gaming keyboard that can record and playback macros.

Josh · « **Reply #23 on:** August 06, 2012, 03:48 PM »

Mistyped soon with mouser, just to prove it's me

jaden · « **Reply #24 on:** August 06, 2012, 05:20 PM »

Wow!

What keyboard do you use?
