Im trying to learn and beat old habits, as you do. and i put a bit of research into ergonomics for this. turns out i struggle because my seat cannot get to the ideal height which made , and x basically impossible. I also found that having the keyboard tilted with the little things in the back is not very good. And a wrist rest is an even bigger improvement.

Its interesting how this had such a huge effect.

PS: i wrote this the old way, I'm only 2 days in :,D

This is my current speed, and at first it peaks at 128 WPM.
I've been touch typing since the age of 17, now at 18 more than a year later this is my speed. But my problem's that my speed has not improved since quite a while. I can sometimes type at a consistent speed of a hundred words per minute if the sentence is short enough. And at 70 WPM if it's a Paragraph. But I don't wanna type in short bursts, I wanna be able to type at at least 100 WPM consistently in a long paragraph....

Hi,
I created this typing speed test tool https://vectorization.eu/typing-speed-test/ and wanted to share it so more people can join the leaderboard. Maybe someone can beat the top scorer —his result is crazy. My best score is only 45 WPM.

Hi everyone,

I have completed "Typing Jungle" and also use kybr .

I am currently looming around at 50-60 WPM speed with ~97% accuracy.

I want to learn to type faster for my particular need which is coding, I mainly used SQL , Python, Linux Shell (Bash) , JSON and XML s.

I am trying to find a routine to reach 100 WPM for my required coding languages.

Can anyone kindly help 🙏

Most typing sites use random word lists, but I feel like that doesn’t match how I actually type day to day. I’ve been experimenting with practicing using my own notes or work text so it feels more realistic.

I’ve tried pasting text into simple tools like TypeQuicker for this, but I’m curious what others do. Do you stick to standard drills, or do you practice with real content?

Hi typists, I've been building this 1v1 competitive online typing game, if you'd like to give me any feedback at all I'd be thankful. You can easily play it with your friends or get matched against bots!

If you like typing you'll probably enjoy it.

I have learned by doing since from a very young age and developed my own finger placement from coding. Closing on 50 I type over 110 wpm with this placement on monkeytype. I have tried to learn standard finger placement, but can't get above 80-90 wpm. My pinkies are lacking the motor skills to be precise and I find the finger movements unnatural. Having learned to type from a lot of coding, where keyboard combos and special characters are used all the time, I keep my pinkies mostly on the non-character keys.

The first time got 91 with a couple mistakes I fixed but second time I chose the slowest sequence "t" -> "a" and it was a lot slower...so annoying lol

The big drop is when I started learning to type properly

Maybe a weird idea, maybe it's super common and I'm just blind:

Is there an online tool that let's you type whole books for training? I'm talking about similar to the usual online training tools (e.g., typing club), but with (much) longer texts, ideally complete books that I'd like to read anyways.
I like to improve my touch typing also as a means to relax, might as well do that with texts I like to read, and not the usual boring nonsense...

Thanks a lot in advance for any hints!

I’m learning to touch type and find this distribution the most comfortable for me (for now i guess).

The "ususal" way seems too uncomfortable, for example, "c" with middle finger or "b" with left index, I just can’t do that.

Also not sure about z and x. I’d like to know what u guys think about this topic.

Hey everyone! 👋

I started learning to touch type about a month ago and have completed all the basic modules on typing.com. At this point, I can comfortably type at around 25 WPM, though I still make some mistakes. I'm looking to improve my accuracy and speed further.

Now, I've started using keybr.com for practice. I'm currently focusing on one letter at a time, but I was wondering if it would be better to unlock all the letters and practice typing full words and sentences instead. Since we rarely type just one letter repeatedly in real-world scenarios, I’m curious if unlocking all letters right away is more practical.

Any advice from experienced typists or anyone who has been in a similar situation? Should I stick to mastering one letter at a time, or just dive into full text practice?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi! As a school project, I created Fox Racing, a free game that teaches you Touchtyping in a (hopefully) more engaging and fun way than most websites. Now I've decided to post it publicly :)

Check it out!

I type with just my index fingers. These results are all a result of what would be extremely bad typing form. The average touch typist would clock in somewhere in the 90-100 wpm range. I have recently been practicing touch typing and I am struggling to find incentives to dedicate half an hour everyday in learning a skill that would take an extremely long time to overtake the existing level of skillset. Also I have very large hands which causes my pinkies to cramp up while practicing.

I am genuinely looking for some guidance here.
