[N.U.G.]

I'm a bit of a right handed only typer and I'm going to try and learn to type correctly...

how fast can you type and how did you learn?

is TypeQuik the best way to learn?

 

[pLuvia]

How do you find out how fast you can type?

I can type pretty fast, well I learnt touch typing by just trying not to look at the keyboard.

There's a program called TypeMaster I think, give that a try

Here's the site http://www.typingmaster.com/default.asp click free demo

Search how fast i type on google or something...

I'm around 55 words per minute i think.

 

[pLuvia]

I just did one, I'm about 48 WPM

 

[volition]

I'd be around 60-70 WPM, and that's mainly from just spending too much time on computers.

I learned my typing skills through general computer use and was able to touch type in year 9, which was a real help.

Since last test 65+ WPM with 98% accuracy, I should be better then that now and that now! As for typing programs the only time I have used them was in late year 8 and early year 9 until this year in IT when we are asked to attempt it every 2nd lesson for 5-10 minutes.

btw, I learnt how to type from Typing Master's program... downloaded it form somewhere...

 

[Riviet]

50 words per minute average. Accuracy about 90-95%. I'm content with that speed.

I learnt from a program called Mavis Beacon, and then I just practised alot to increase speed/accuracy.

 

[pLuvia]

My school, during year 9 or 10 in computer study classes had to do practise typing programs, which was useless but hey.

From here which I posted up before

http://www.typingmaster.com/default.asp

Also I learnt like pi to like 30 decimals from that programs hahaha There's a game to practise your number typing hehe

 

[hopeles5ly]

im not sure, but i can touch type with 90%+ accuracy i think?

hmm i learnt from chatting on the internet lol. hey brian i remember that program, i've got it it somewhere lol.

 

[YBK]

ahahah... after several attempts, I got up to 62 words per minute and 96% accuracy!

Touch typing r0xorz... heh

 

[hopeles5ly]

er i better give that program a try lol.

 

[Riviet]

Yeah, touch typing is the best. I'm so glad I learnt it too.

 

[pLuvia]

Touch typing is cool, only learnt it from constant internet and chatting time haha

Never bothered really with the programs, only the games a long long time ago

 

[pritnep]

I don't think that learning through programs helps a lot of people unless they start young or are commited. These programs I find can get long and repetitive and its best to learn through general computer use.

60wpm, learnt by just typing I suppose.
