Typing at a speed of 57 WPM or higher is very good. The key element that helps faster typists is touch typing. Touch typing is a method where you use muscle memory, not your eyes, to find the keys. You may be exceptionally fast, but speed is often accompanied with a lack of accuracy. In order to improve this part of good typing, you may have to slow down. This is fine if you are happy with the speed you are typing at now but if you want to get faster you are going to have to put a lot more time into learning and getting faster.
Regards Shay. Hello, this article is pretty accurate, just a few months ago I add an average of Now after practicing a few months here and then, I got my average more to , with top speeds of Practice does make progress. Hi Angela, yeah especially if his keyboard is really sensitive he should do whatever works best for him and feels most comfortable.
Might be a glitch or bug, looking forward to having it fixed soon. Try 10 fast fingers. It is way better than you think.
When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the same comment. There has to be a means you are able to remove me from that service? Many thanks! This is not good because I am constantly having to adjust my pinky, ring, middle finger back to home row after typing x. I am able to keep my index finger on f. I think that you should just practice writing x with your ring finger, because moving your middle finger that far down to hit x would slow you down.
For me personally, it seems more efficient than trying with my left ring finger. Hello I needed help. And then when I see what my speed it is its like because I feel like getting more things right just makes my fingers automatically wanna go faster.
So, I got 30wpm using my method and 15wmp using the proper method. I do not look at the keyboard to type. I assume it is because this is how I have been typing for 29 years of my life.
I can type up to 85wpm on a good day, and my average is My recommendation is to, like the article said, practice. Using all your fingers is a must. I often rest my right pinky finger on the shift or enter button, because I use those buttons a lot.
My index fingers usually rest near D and K rather than F and J. My advice to you is practice often, and use all your fingers regardless of whether or not you rest over the usual home row keys. Hi Adar, thanks for your comment!
As Samantha and the article both suggest, regular practice is key. Before correcting the way I type, the highest typing speed I got was 55wpm on a good day. Right now, the highest was In order to reach good results with proper techniques, the first stage of slowing down your speed is inevitable as you still need time to develop proper muscle memory of the keyboard. So if you would like to improve your typing speed, the only way is to be patient, practice often, develop that muscle memory and make progress.
I can type at 50wpm with my index fingers. But with the proper method, I could only type at 23wpm. I also need help. Thanks for your comment, and sorry about that! If you try the test again and the same issue occurs, please send a screenshot of the issue to [email protected].
There may be a bug that needs to be fixed. Actually, reading the blog and then concentrating on not making mistakes and keeping my eye on the screen. I have been 30 wpm for 30 years since I did a month training 30mins a day in my office job then.
So I guess I need to spend 30 minutes a day for another month and see what a difference that will make. Actually, you only technically use nine fingers to type, because you use your thumbs to press space, and your dominant hand is usually the one that presses space. Good point Justin! If my left hand is far to the left hitting tab or shift, I will hit space with my right thumb, and if my right hand is off hitting apostrophes of something, I use my left thumb.
Your email address will not be published. How fast you can you type? Words are counted once you have moved on to the next word. Errors are counted character by character within words.
Puncuation is counted as part of the word that precedes it. Mistyped words are counted when you move on to the next word. Accuracy is counted character by character. Words per minute is updated each time you type, based on words completed and moved on from since you first started typing. If you stop in the middle of typing for a while, you will need to start a new test to get an accurate word per minute count. Time to completion is calculated just once, only after you have typed the number of words given in that particular typing test.

For starters, people speak much faster than they read or type. The average English speaker in the U. Improvements in this field languished for a while but advances are once again being made.
