How good you're at typing?

Good morning, i had never typed a word in my life till i got my first computer, lol. sothat means i type w/two fingers but i have gotten where i can go pretty fast w/my two fingers, lol. Works for me. Happy weekend to u.

40 words a minute is about average. Not bad. I probably type 60-70 WPM now. I type and look at the tv and no errors. Sometimes the computer goes slower than my hands can type. I think it freezes up but I like to think this way. Hehehe I have software that helps your speed. It is fun too.

I love typing and this is one of the main skills that I have. I have been typing for many years and I'm so grateful to have this skills as it makes things so much easier when it comes to posting and writing letters. I'm not sure what my typing speed is but I would say it was pretty fast. I would say that 40 words per minute would be the very minimum speed I would type at. I learnt how to type professionally when I was sixteen. I went to a Business Administration college and this is where I learnt how to touch-type as it's properly known. I no longer look at the keyboard and instantly know where all the keys are located. I think that this is a very important skill to have in today's day and age. Andrew

hi mr_pearl, I started to enthusiastic about typing when my teacher gave me a project in which we are not allowed to do it handwritten. We don't have any computer or typewriter that time. I was so excited when my mom was able to borrow a typewriter for me. I did my project right away and practice typing. I did not know that there are some letter assigned for each of our fingers. I just memorize the positions of the letters and thinking I was a secretary.. I started to learn the proper typing style when I was 14 years old. My sister introduced me a friend of hers who owns a computer shop. He is very kind with me and he taught me the proper way of typing. From that time, I started to become good in typing. My speed that time is 25 words per minute. As of now it is 35 words per minute. I can conclude that my work online makes me a fast typist. It is because if I want to earn more I must know how to type faster.

I am very good at typing. I know my typing speed but would know whats is a good typing speed. A good, passing typing speed is about 35 wpm today. Isn't it? My speed is also the same. It varies sometimes it is 35, 37 and sometimes its 34.. I have been doing a few tests and on average I get about 36 wpm with around 98% accuracy. A good typing speed is generally considered to be between 40-50 words per minute (wpm), again with a high accuracy level. I am just trying and I will soon reach to that level. Thanks.

Hi! I wanna share a site that would improve both your typing speed and accuracy, check out www.learn2type.com. At the moment my typing speed is 63 words per minute. I didn't take any basic course whatsoever but with learn2type.com it teaches you from the basic to ten key typing. Try it out! :D

Yes, I took typing in high school, and then later another course. I had to type 45 words a minute to get a job, at that time (over 25 yrs ago) I tested at 53. I, however, did data entry for the last 15 years of my working for the state, and I have no clue what my typing speed is now. I do know that I seem to type faster on the computer...

If I am typing from memory, like when I am writing or something like that, I can average 40-50 words per minute. However, for some reason, if I am typing something from a book or other material, like you have to do when you take typing tests, I can only manage to get about 35 words per minute...

Hi, mr_pearl. I am at 35 wpm right now. About 11 years ago, my speed was, 13 to 15 wpm. It has improved greatly since then. I would like to be at 55 wpm. I can't type without ever looking at the keyboard. On some of the letters I can do that. I have taken typing courses while I was in high school, but it did not help me that much. Even in college, it was still hard, no matter how much help that I have received.

hi mr pearl, i can also type 40 words per minute,but i have not checked it is below 40 or above 40 ,when i have passed the higher grade test approximately 39 years back,then my speed is 40,but in all these days i never checked my typing speed,but i am sure that now a days i am doing some spelling mistakes in typing,have a nice day

I am not too good in typing. I used to type a wrong word, so i have to come back again to fix it. That is why my type is long. That is good for you if you can type 40 words per minuets. i am sure it can boost your earning.

I've actually never taken a typing course, I am a self taught typist. However, I really am a good typer and my average typing speed is about 65 words per minute with an error rate of 1-2 miskeys in that period of time. I've taken a course in medical transcription and am hoping to be able to find a job in that field sometime in the near future because I really enjoy doing anything that has to do with typing as it is relaxing to me.

I took typing course when I was young say almost 60 years ago. At that time I attained about 40 wpm. Since my line of working did not involve much typing the speed dropped to about 25 wpm. This gives me good enough support to carry on my typing needs, personal or professional. I try to be as accurate as possible both in spelling, grammar and language. Mine is blind touch typing, I am sure you understand. I have seen quite a few people typing with only 2 fingers, one from each hand and yet type pretty fast, almost at 40 or more wpm!

I have never taken a typing course. I learnt typing from chatting. I think my speed is about 30 words. I can type while my mother-in-law dictates. So, I guess I type quite good. I still have to look at the keyboard sometimes. I know I don't type the correct way, but I don't think it really matters. I am not looking for a job as a typist anyway.

Hi mr_pearl, I don't know how fast I can type currently. I find I can type myLot posts without looking at the keyboard fluently. before writing posts at here earlier, I had to spend considerable time to type a single post just containing a few lines of content. I always made tapos. After having lots of practice typing posts here during my leisure my typing skill improve very fast. I'm quite satisfied with the my typing speed now. I didn't taken any typing course before. But I had attended the typing lessons for a couple of weeks during my secondary school days. We learned the skill of typing following the lessons from a book given. I still remember we asked to do plenty of practices typing the same words asd, jkl, etc Anyway I have great interest to know my typing speed Happy posting.

I taught myself to type using a portable typewriter that my parents gave me as a present when I was a teenager. I've no idea what my speed is but I think that it varies from not very fast to slow I type fast enough for my needs and that enough for me.

Several years ago when I first started using a computer, I thought it would be a good idea to do a typing course, but decided to use a book called, RSA Typing and Wordprocessing Workbook. The book contained exercises to practice touch typing, without looking at the keyboards. I practiced this just 20 minutes each day and my typing skills improved dramatically. I think maybe I was already used to not looking at my hands whilst learning to play a piano from the age of about 8 years old and I found typing pretty easy. I don't know what my speed it right now, because I tend not to check it, but my wife tells me I am pretty fast and I am satisfied that I can quickly type out my ideas without taking so much time that I lose them! _Derek

That's a very good point my friend. I never realized that i have improved my typing skills. Mylotting really helps. It's just the best concept I have come across in my life. There are so many benefits from myloting which i never even thought about. This is really very great. And you also get paid for practicing. So thats a bonus. Happy myloting to all.

I type around that also-with minimal errors. I took a required High school course and never lost it. I've been on the internet since the early 90's-so I get daily practice.

hi mr pearl, i do have taken typing lessons when i'm in college but i think it didn't help me a lot. though i remembered once i applied for a certain company as data encoder,there we tested our typing speed,i've known my typing speed was 30 wpm.that was really like years ago,and i don't know now if i was able to type more than 30wpm. i can't type without looking at my keyboard. but i do have a friend who really is very good at typing. he's been addict to the computer game called typing maniac and i guess he's really the best when it comes to typing! i mean,he didn't even look at the keyboards while typing and i guess he's 60wpm,i don't know! but i do call him when i'm in college and i have something to type,well im a slow typer back then than now. sometimes my typing speed depends also on my thinking.like here in mylot,if i know what to type,i can say i'm fast with it.but when i'm out of words,how can i type with that?right? i hope i can be as fast as my friend does when it comes to typing!
