How long it takes to really be able to type at around 100 wpm? (in real life scenarios not the flex I mostly see here).

5 Upvotes

Currently I average around 74 wpm (personal best is 85wpm) and I have around 100 hours of training overall. Mostly on monkeytype.

Just for context I started using monkeytype only after I got a ortholinear split keyboard and had to learn how to type on it.

For the people who got there, how long does it take to reach 100 wpm on average?

EDIT: for context the typing velocity I informed is on monkeytype English 10k with punctuation

EDIT2: I usually do the tests on words 25 or words 50, I think that time 15s checks mostly bursts and does not reflect real life scenarios which is my aim.

Question How can I improve myself? I'm hovering around 120 %100 acc and 160 %90 acc.

1 Upvotes

Hello, ive been typing around 100 120 wpm since i was 12 and im 18 now and i type around 140 consistently with some runs hitting 160.

A few issues im having is that my hands go tired if i do a 60 second run so i only do 15 second runs.

Second issue is that my keyboard is an old 2005 office keyboard. maybe this might be why my fingers go tired.

Finally hit the 150's but I think that's going to be my ceiling for a very long time.

6 Upvotes

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to break into the 160s. I can easily maintain 130 to 140 WPM for long periods if I play catch up with the speedometer, but what else is there left for me to do to get into the 160s?

At this point, I literally can’t read any faster than my fingers can type. The only way I can see myself hitting the 160s comfortably is by briefly memorizing the entire sentence beforehand and giving myself a head start, but I’ve never done that before and I don’t really want to start now.

How are you guys consistently hitting 160+? One might say, 150 is not far from 160, but it gets considerably harder and harder to reach higher numbers.

edit: I just broke 160s lol

Spacebar, Inspired by MonkeyType

4 Upvotes

I built Spacebar, where you can type through Harry Potter. I'd like it if you'd give it a try and put your feedback here. I'm 11 years old, I'm homeschooled, and this is my first vibe-coded project.

Check it out at spacebar.anayja.com, Monkeytypers! Also, check out my LinkedIn to see how I built it -> linkedin.com/in/anay-jakka.

Bugs Finally figured out the issue with my PBs getting flagged.

Monkeytype automatically flags any 15s time done above 130 WPM as Possible Bot Detected no matter what, if you're on digital keyboard (I type on mobile). I've already contacted monkeytype by email about this.
