the sites not a good place to be testing speed on anyway. theres distracting points on the screen which takes your attention away from the words on screen.

Anyway, my peak typing speed was 143wpm, before i got distracted and it dropped to 43

Eee 4G keyboard... :lol: Now I can say "to hell" with whoever said that you can't type fast enough on a small keyboard.
Took the "Astronaut" test, got 87wpm w/ 98% accuracy. Like others have said, it's much higher when I'm simply putting my thoughts to words.
lol you guys are scaring me!

Quite good, considering I'm not used to typing full English names, nor use those darned hyphens. Those took me kinda by surprise.

FYI, English isn't my mother tongue. Take THAT. :p

(like mostly everyone here, though, I DO type faster if it's something I've either been thinking about beforehand or if it's just something that comes from me. Reading and copying just takes longer).

Heh. Took the test instructions and got 86 wpm with 100% accuracy. Lack of hyphens and names helped.
 
HAX!!!!!!!!!

seriously though.... i was typing at over 140wpm until the frickin timer distracted me.
 
85 wpm......I'll get better as I get older I guess..



That being said...I can type 3x faster if its composing from my mind.....
Yeah, I'm sure you type 0xFF wpm. :rolleyes:

Not HAX... just bug. Here's how you can get it: just... type the first few words of any passage... FAST (type like you'll die the next second) and then click the "cancel" button when you see the WPM rate you want. Since it doesn't count until you start typing, you have all the time in the world to position your mouse over that "cancel" button. And the rest depends on how fast you can click your mouse. :p

That actually counts as a complete type test. :innocent: Gee... (so in other words, it's fairly easy to get a 100+ WPM rate)

And yeah, your WPM rate will vary insanely fast at the beginning, meaning... it can go up to a whooping 265 WPM. I got that once but I couldn't click fast enough. :p

On the bright side, I guess I can reprogram a more accurate test when I have the time. :) Maybe something that can record your type rate (key strokes per second?) alongside your WPM rate.

That would be great, since the wpm goes a bit higher if it's a lot of small words in the text, but goes down the more long words are in it :p

Yeah... I think that's a fault in the rating function. Something like "words / time elapsed" is probably being used to calculate your WPM... and of course... if the first passage has "a a a a a a a a a a" which you can type out in less than 2 seconds, then that means you have achieved nearly 5 words per seconds, for a total of 300 words per minute if you scale it up. ;p That just won't do at all in my opinions.

Record the key stroke intervals, get the median of key strokes needed per word, and then get the word length + distance from the last letter to the next on a QWERTY keyboard (so "q" is further from "m" than "f" and so on...), counting backspace, and so on... And you have to type out the entire document. Now that is what I'd call a more accurate typing test. :p But maybe WPM won't be used as a rating system. Instead... maybe a scoring system?
 
Net Speed: 56 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 93%
Gross Speed: 60 WPM
(words/minute)
 
Net Speed: 68 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 80%
Gross Speed: 85 WPM
(words/minute)

Trainwreck!

What you get when you have a good amount of experience not supported by a proper typing course :p
