[youngyew]

8) I got 400 over KPM, but I couldn't obtain the statistic for Words Per Minute.. Some sort of server error there.. So what is 400 KPM equivalent to? I guess it's between 70 and 80. Hmm.. I thought mine was 90 before trying this test.

Anyway, let's have some constructive comment about "typing". I started learning touch typing about 3 years ago, and has been practising since. A good touch typing program (which doesn't prompt you to type gibberish words) is a must to pick up our basics, IMHO, and once you master the whole keyboard without looking at it, the best practise would be online-chatting and in-school assignments.

BTW, I am still using qwerty keyboard, which, according to many sources, were designed back in 19th century to make it as hard as possible to type fast. Hmm.. there is in fact a better layout called DVORAK keyboard, named after its designer, and it actually improves typing speed a lot, saves a lot of "finger travelling distance" and also reduces Repetitive Strain Injury. Personally I have never had the expeirence of RSI, possibly that's because my body still can bear my daily torment on it. Anyone here faces RSI or "Nintendo Thumb"?

Hmm. Back to DVORAK keyboard. Now I just started learning it. (My tests were still done with qwerty.) Certainly it's hard after having grown accustomed to the qwerty for such a long time. But it's my wishful thinking that if it works out, possibly we can all beat 100 wpm.


Barbara Blackburn, the World's Fastest Typist

Typing, Fastest. Mrs. Barbara Blackburn of Salem, Oregon can maintain 150 wpm for 50 min (37,500 key strokes) and attains a speed of 170 wpm using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (DSK) system. Her top speed was recorded at 212 wpm.

Thank you for your compliment... Just knew that from you. But nothing much really, because I think that's already the best I can hit. Can't do any better, and keep imagining how those people getting 600 or 700 move their fingers so lightening-fast.. :roll:

I guess one of the tips that I got form online typing lessons and also minesweeper websites is very applicable: the more you try to type faster, the worse your fingers move. So try to relax, and try not to type "consciously";just sit back, try not to focus too much, and let the "muscle memory" does its best. The minesweeper website even advised us to talk to others while playing. 8)

Pardon me,but I don't understand the addiction to speed up typing. :) Isn't a reasonable speed enough?

i find that if i play often enough (like MANY times a day lol), every once in a while i will get an easy piece. an easy piece for me is one without any numbers. i just got an easy piece and managed to improve on my personal best which now stands at 413 kpm. that's still 30 kpm off the next best recommer though. haha i sound like a freak.

hey topdog, where's your sis studying now? she done w tesl?

[chenchow]

i still haven't made myself going and type once today..... but i guess the practice helps in a way, although getting a relatively easier ones would help increase the speed. I can see that my average score going high up compared to before.

Just wondering whether any of you guys are facing consistency problem like me? I often are able to start well, usually first 30 seconds around 480-500, and then next 30 seconds would drop to 450-480, and then it would gradually drop to 400-420 by the two minutes are up, which is currently my average. So, I am just wondering whether if i type for 5 minutes straight, what's my average? 300? 350?

i still haven't made myself going and type once today..... but i guess the practice helps in a way, although getting a relatively easier ones would help increase the speed. I can see that my average score going high up compared to before.

Just wondering whether any of you guys are facing consistency problem like me? I often are able to start well, usually first 30 seconds around 480-500, and then next 30 seconds would drop to 450-480, and then it would gradually drop to 400-420 by the two minutes are up, which is currently my average. So, I am just wondering whether if i type for 5 minutes straight, what's my average? 300? 350?

i have the same problem.. my first 30 seconds will be at the speed of 400 and above... then, after the 30 seconds mark, my speed tends to go down to about 350... then, the next 30 seconds, will be around 300... and right before the end.... it tends to shoot up to 350 and that's about it...

i've tried to type long passages... for fun... i just type one page of a certain book.... and found out that my speed is just slightly above 300kpm(60wpm)...
(use the word count at the microsoft word to count lar... of coz)

better not... the more frustrated u become, the more typo u will commit....

try to relax.. and just let ur "muscle memory" do the work... all u need to do is just sit back (and close ur eyes... just joking), and look at the screen and just type.... dun be tense... relax... u'll be amazed that by relaxing, u can actually type better....

Congrats pik and spring~!

Anyone going to cross the 100 word/minute mark?
The last few week I tried http://typera.tk, I achieved 100 wpm rather consistently... The secret to that is to not tense up and keep your mind focused on the words instead of your fingers. The highest I have ever achieved was 108.

I think typing is a good skill to acquire in this era. Something I observed in Melbourne is that quite a lot of people are good at touch typing (typing with all fingers without looking at the keyboard, that is). And when you go to the university and do lots of stuff involving assignments and write-ups, touch typing will become increasingly indispensable. Do train up your speed if you have free time. For those who are free now and have nothing better to do at home, this is one of the things I would recommend to you. :)

Well, I have the tendency to write what I have interpreted instead of typing what I've read on the screen. That plus the confusion of key positions led to my low scores.
