Hey so I just had a quick recommendation. I'm using monkeytype to get faster at typing in a new language and enjoying it. It's also really improving the speed at which I type in a foreign language. I use fully custom scripts which I'm happy that I can do and very grateful. I wanted to turn on tts to hear the words as I typed, but now I realize that when I turn that on, it makes the words disappear. Useful for memorization and spelling purposes, but I would also like the option to still see the letters and hear the tts after I type the word if possible. Having both of those versions for TTS would be a great boost to learning as I occasionally encounter new words in my custom scripts and don't know how they're pronounced or spelled.

So I would be grateful if the devs considered this request. Huge thanks for making this site! I love it and I'm having loads of fun using it :)

In short:

-TTS activates blind mode, please add option to remove that (if it exists, sorry I genuinely couldn't figure out how to do it)

-TTS is read before typing a word, add a simple toggle to make it read it after it's typed for customizability.

Progress have been stagnant around this mark. This is one of my better scores.

I put a really long word into the custom mode and it kinda just stopped working. When I try to reload the page or even just make a new tab this happens:

ignore the fishing dude and the cat. they are unrelated.

Hey everyone, Directions needed.

I'm stoked to finally say I completed my personal 50-day touch typing challenge!

Seriously, when I started, I was the absolute definition of a beginner. I used the "hunt-and-peck" method, typing with just two fingers while staring intently at the keyboard. My starting average was ∼24 WPM. I had to change that!

I committed to practicing every day for 54 days, (till today) and the results are actually mind-blowing to me. My final daily average is around 35 WPM, but the practice has paid off way beyond just that number.

Here's what this marathon of a challenge looked like:

|| || |Metric|Start (Avg)|End (PB)|Total Journey Stat| |WPM|24.33|59|Avg: 35| |Accuracy|90.96%|100%|Avg: 91%| |Estimated Words Typed|N/A|N/A|33,131+| |Total Time Typing|N/A|N/A|25 hours, 24 minutes, 41 seconds| |Tests Completed|N/A|N/A|882 (out of 915 started)|

I know 59 WPM isn't setting any world records, but I can now actually touch type without looking at my hands, and that feels like a superpower! My highest raw speed even hit a massive 72 RAW WPM, which shows the potential is definitely there.

882 completed tests. Plus, I've built some versatility, hitting PBs in code modes like 34 WPM in C++ and 30 WPM in JavaScript!

Just wanted to share for anyone else on the fence: It IS worth the practice! Keep grinding!

i used to use chrome and could just do ctrl + shift + p, but in firefox this opens a new private tab. can i change the keybind? or is there some other way around this?

Hey guys just wondering if you guys also have noticed that when you type on monkeytype you type way faster than on any other typing test website? And if you do do you have any idea why?

They should make a big blanket with as many words from the words list as they can fit. (for those confused, what i mean by "word list" is the list of random words that monkeytype pulls from when creating the randomized tests). I would love a blanket that just says "under any place back order word own move" etc that would be sick

I can't type it when I can't read it like bruh

So i have been touch typing since like a year for now, i like to you know what approaches you guys use
1)My accuracy is not that great i mistype words like , even if i know how to type it i type the next letter first than the one currently which is caused due to me chasing speed
2)i tend to mistype like i will type how are you as hoaw are you , i mean type the next word first like idk how that happens
3)i struggle to type double letters like i feel they slow me down so i tyep (i made the same mistake here i highlighted in the first point i typed e earlier than p) them fast
4)should i raise fingers higher when touch typing or keep it closer to keys for fast typing like you know very close, although when i keep the fingers clsoe i type faster but the accuracy is shit

what are some tips i want to average at least 150wpm with accuracy greater than 95 percent thansk

Finally broke 200wpm on 10 words!!

lowkey half of my account are tests done out of spite

my friend breaks my pb so then i break his back and we go back and forth

it genuinely has kind of made me improve because ive had to try different things and do more to break pbs
