hey i was just wondering how many words per minutes i typed... and i was just wondering if any of you knew a program which tells you?

Here's an easy way to figure that out.

1) Find a piece of text to transcribe (write out).

2) Get someone to run a timer for 30 seconds. They should also note how many mistakes you make. Find how many words you can type in 30 seconds and multiply that by 2. Viola there is your WPM along with error count.

There are programs to do it for you but you can easily find a rough estimate yourself.

viola?! who said anything about music?!

I forgot the accent, so sue me!

when u say "I forgot the accent, so sue me!" do u mean u put the o and the i around the wrong way?!

i want a program though... cause i am too lazy to do all that stuff

quick google - http://typera.solutions.fi/

Approximate words per minute: 361 / 6 = 60

i can do 52wp/m at 98.8 accuracy. It helps me through my assignments alot.

iso standard word = 5 strokes

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

Wasn't it Dykstra who said that?

It's no use being able to write crap fast. I could only wish that i could think up coherent and structured writing at the same speed as i type.

The last typing test I did I got 121 wpm @ 99% :p

I can get about 200 wpm, with about 30% accuracy bahahaha :D

You crack me up tollz.

morgish 160 classic-en
that program is soo bulls***

The faq on that typerA site also cracks me up.

"Q: Who's playing this?

A: On the highscore list we've seen players from places like (in no special order) sun.com, nasa.gov, f-secure.com, ericsson.se, nokia.fi, microsoft.com, intel.com, compaq.com, ....

These have played but haven't made it to the high-score list yet: senate.gov, europarl.eu.int, eduskunta.fi, boeing.com, cisco.com, dell.com, ibm.com, volvo.se, ... draw your own conclusions."

I got 48 wpm, but then i already know i'm pretty average at typing.

I managed to get up around 60wpm.

Man.. how do people get 100+ wpm?? I am getting about 65 to 70wpm and I already feel that there are not that much for improvement. As it is... when I am not making mistakes, my typing flows very well and there is no hesitation whatsoever.

True, I probably can get to about 80 or 90wpm if I am a bit more accurate and don't waste time on backspace. Oh well.. hats off to Raider for getting 100+ wpm.

LD99 I know what ya mean, when I was typing that speed I didn't think I could improve either, I can sustain over 100wpm now, and on shorter documents around 115-120
