hi friends! i know this video is a bit random, but it'd be a lie if i said typing wasn't my biggest flex and wouldn't take any opportunity to show it off 😎
all jokes aside, i've been wanting to make this video for a looong while! now that i'm home, i decided to have some fun with different vids since i'm unable to make campus vlogs. will still be vlogging midterms at home, but i have so many quarantine vlogs that i probably won't be uploading too many while i'm here ;_; but yea WOO i hope it's helpful. :)

hi, i'm jessica! i'm a 4th yr at ucla majoring in math of computation (math w/ cs), and am from the bay area. i vlog my college experience as a ucla transfer student. ˙ᵕ˙
keyboard is durgod taurus K320 TKL, cherry brown switches, about $100 on amazon btw! a lot of people have been asking. thought i mentioned it somewhere in the description or in the video but i guess not 😓

I don't know about all that, I've found a pretty easy way to be just as fast as you by just playing this video at a third of the speed ;)
dammnn ky redragon fizz 617 looks the same
Tbh you’d enjoy building a custom
Have to say I bought one (the brown switch version), but compared to my Razer blackwidow lite, it requires more force, and I can't type as fast...now I probably will turn to Keychron...
Lol you mean amazon asked you to put your affiliate link in.
Imagine having an online argument with this person
Wanna have with me
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
she can type faster than i can imagine!
Plot twist. The other guy is mythicalrocket.
Before I type 17 wpm with looking at the keyboard and I keep practicing now my highest at 57 today without looking but up and down. Overall practicing are key. :)
Good job!!!!
how long did it take you to get to 57 wpm?
and now what your typing speed bro
@@jeromepowelltoecrum6044 i need couple weeks practicing 10 fingers without looking.i got 60 wpm. but after a few months, maybe already 1 year. I have no progress still there with 60-70 wpm... HELP HAHA
@@kabee707 if you make a point to never look down while typing, you will see a magic day when this will improve.
just the fact that i didint knew about "ctrl+ backspace" makes this video super usefull thanks 🙏🙏
no same my life is changed
Me too, it's crazy how I type 110+ wpm and I still never knew about this, definitely using it in the future
damn this is really cool
❤❤
Ali is here 😁
thank you sir :,)
Damn Ali Abdaal himself lol :))
I thought of your typing video when I saw this
I learned how to touch type using keybr. Spending anywhere from 10 to 30mins a day for a consecutive 30 days made a vast improvement. Now muscle memory just kicks in and I don't really remember where the keys are. I specifically like keybr because of the piece by piece way we learn the letters and positioning at a slow pace. People who are intermediate might find the site tedious but for an absolute beginner, its the perfect one that I'd recommend to start on.
i think youre just born fast
Not the fastest typer, but using a computer, and taking typing classes at a very young age definitely set the foundation for my touch typing skills.
Agreed. I was averaging 60 words per minute when I was like 10 years old, which is significantly better than average adults. A few years later, I've improved exponentially. I am able to average 130-140WPM with a high accuracy and a peak of around 170WPM. Time really does help, along with consistency of course.
this is wild, i was recommended this video and i've always been able to type really fast. and then you said maplestory and i was like ahhh that must be it
Nice video Jessica. As for games, I played MUDs with friends which is 100% text typing to do anything. Look, run east, hunt, kill, etc. Chatting with random people also was helpful. I like ergonomic keyboards as well to type easier ->faster. From a Microsoft natural keyboard to split keyboards.
Your so sweet, and the way u kept smiling throughout it was very cute and innocent! Thanks sm for the tips
Respect to you Jessica for highlighting the real reason that you type so fast i.e. you have many years (thousands of hours) of typing experience under your belt primarily because you started at a very young age and have been using computers heavily ever since.
Typing speed is basically a function of how long someone has been touch typing for. If you only started learning to touch type last week then you're not going to be anywhere near as fast as someone who has been touch typing for 10 years and has been using touch typing intensively both at work and at home for the all that time.
Nah you do not need thousands of hours of experience to type that fast. I have 202 wpm on mt 15s, and learned how to touch type WAY later than her, and guaranteed have been typing for less time total than her.
Typing speed, and any other skill in general, is not just a function for how long you've been doing it (or in this specific case, for how long you've been touch typing). You have to actually put effort into improving and doing the type of practice that challenges you. Just doing something for a long time does not necessarily mean you will get significantly better at that thing.
@@Yusuf-sy6rb Two very simple questions. How old are you now? How old were you when you learned to touch type?
@@garyinternet5436 I'm 18 now. I had a typing class when I was 11 but didn't really try at all so I was at around 30wpm back then. I started practicing on typeracer at 13 and was at around 40wpm at that time. My typeracer username is super33, you can see my progression on there if you want (can't post links on youtube comments otherwise they have to be manually approved)
Nowadays I don't really practice though, except maybe once in a blue moon. I feel like at this point there isn't really any real world benefit to getting faster.
@@Yusuf-sy6rb Thank you for taking the time to respond to me and for providing the information about your progression on Typeracer. It's very interesting. Could you also give me your user names to your Monkeytype account and to your 10FastFingers account if you have one?
I know that Monkeytype only started in May 2020 and so before that, 10FastFingers was the biggest typing site on the internet for typing anything other than quotes. I'm assuming there's a good chance that you also had an account on that site looking at the amount of typing that you did before then on Typeracer.
@@garyinternet5436 Sure, my monkeytype username is zuuu. I don't have a 10ff account.
Thank you so much for the typing websites for practice. Just started and I already feel like I got much better!
I've been touch typing for my entire life, and I've never known about ctrl+backspace. That is so cool!
I came across this video randomly and I can say I am very satisfied with it. I can attest that what you said is true, since I also use the same shortcuts and it helps a lot.
Just subscribed to your channel, lovely content!
you can also use cntrl + ⬅ or cntrl + ➡ to navigate by words instead of just single characters.. and cntrl + up/down navigates paragraphs/line breaks
Your accuracy is crazy!
I think it's the positioning of your wrists versus posture you're sitting in too which plays a big factor (I'm typing this as I watch the first 10 seconds of your video but i'm sure you talked about it in the video)
Much love
Reall great advice! I learned typing about 25 years ago, on a typewriter, so I have no problem touch typing. However, I stuck around the 70 WPM range and it fluctuates between 60 to 80. The main problem I have is typos or the nonstop concern of typos. I tend to missing keystrokes or jumping. Like, instead of typing 'letters', I often find myself typing 'ltetters', hence slowing down myself.
Well it's not 190 wpm. Have to type for 30 minutes and every possible combonation. She is high 90 maybe 100 words a minute with no punctuation in those words. Lol, you guys fall for this... Now we have lowered keys in the 90's which means there is less time of picking up fingers and key stroke distance. Beyond that I think once seen a woman that could type 120 wpm and would make 85 % no mistakes. Worked for a oil company. That keyboard on her computer she said had to replaced about every 2 to 3 months keys would give out.
@@Theckonestroh wtf are you on about bro?
@@Theckonestroh I don't understand what your point is? she hovers around 140-150 on TypeRacer which uses punctuationand real world practical scenarios. How is that score invalidated? The MonkeyType score I agree is a little inflated just because of the easy words and lack of punctuation, but overall her typing speed is well past 100.
@@cunly6399I actually kind of agree with the guy above us, she probably types this fast with words she knows but if you add random words she’s never typed with punctuation and caps, I bet it probably is barely 100 wpm. Which btw is already better than most people; so no hate here, just saying.
thanks for this! keybr is so clutch
ive lived my whole life and never utilized using ctrl/cmd a or backspace to delete or fix typos when im typing 😭😭 thanks for this video, now i feel alot faster when typing fs :D
Shiiit I used to play MapleStory as well!! What a throwback to randomly see you mention that haha. I did get good at typing from MapleStory too but I'm nowhere close to you (around 110 WPM)
YES! Someone else who uses monkey type! Its so good. I haven't seriously practiced in a while but about a year ago I grinded from about 75wpm to 110wpm (I use quotes, medium length mostly because of the punctuation and practicality). Im thinking about getting back into it. Good vid!
Shout out to typeracer as well. I've been trying to learn Korean, and learning how to type Korean was one of my first goals. Type racer allows you to switch languages which is really cool.
You can also switch languages on monkeytype
I really wish I was faster at typing. I still look at the keyboard now and again when I type. I agree touch typing is the key, but it feels SO MUCH SLOWER when you can just glance down and see where to put your fingers. I've tried several times but never stuck with it enough to stick through that slower period until it is faster and better on the other side. Very cool video. :)
thank you!!
ive been practicing my typing speed, you elaborate efficiently!
aw yay!!! you can do it :D
omg I did not expect Maplestory in this video. I was addicted to Maplestory back in the days, and ended up stopping at lv78 priest back when leveling up was still considered hard lol. So many wonderful memories with that game
Honestly a big thing that I would really reccoment beginner to not do is develop a habit of using the wrong finger for the wrong key because that can lead to some pretty major speed hurdles down the read if you're not resolute in what finger you use for what key of if you use different fingers per the occasion. Consistency is really important once you reach higehr levels because at some point you wouldnt want to swtich back and learn it the right way again.
I am a victim of this right now 😂
Indeed. Never learned the right finger positioning and ended up learning to touch type the wrong way.
Thank you for the practice tips and websites!
I just came across your video today :) Kudos on reaching such strong typing speed and accuracy. Have you thought about possibly learning to use Dvorak keyboard which might elevate your typing speed to whole new level? :)
thank you for making this!
Speed run to carpal tunnel
Thanks for sharing your Tips and Tactics for Fast Efficient Typing.
Great vid. By the way do you rest your wrists on your desk/at the edge of you keyboard while typing? Thanks
It's so satisfying to listen to it!
Another type is, well I thought you'd mention it since you play piano but, when practicing, having a rythm, listening to a song, and typing to the beat actually really helps, but i think this only works if you can at least type around 80 wpm for it to be effective, it really helps, give it a try. Your goal is to type out a word or part of a word for each temp and hit spacebar to get to the next.
thank you so much for sharing the tips on faster touch typing, i will defiantly be using this to further my touch typing speed😂. iI also learned from a early age mostly from mmo games (which i think was mostly helpful for maintaining for me) and schools i went to kind of forced use to learn it a bit.
Also thank you for the monkeytype link, never used it before and got a 70 with 95% acc, i forgot how hard it is to type words without a proper sentence structure 😅
This was actually really helpful, thanks
Thank you, this is really helpful. As someone who has managed to type at 70-WPM using the "Hunt and Peck" technique for most of their life, I am keen to re-train my brain to touch type and improve my speed. Fortunately I started with Keybr based on another recommendation!
Same. I'm typing at around 70WPM as well but hunting and pecking using multiple fingers. Accuracy isn't the best either. So I started to retrain my fingers to touch type since yesterday. Would love to hear how you improved since it's been 2 months for you already.
@@dragonchaser583 I started trying to learn yesterday and I went from 80 wpm pecking to now 30 wpm 😓 have you made any progress?
im super late but thank you so much for this video !! you type so fast, that's amazing zegfyerge
aw hahahah no problem :,))
CTRL + LEFT arrow key will jump your cursor back one word, same as CTRL + BACKSPACE erases a whole word.
It's a lot faster if you need to go back a few words then just holding the left arrow key or clicking with your mouse.
I like this video because its real, for example most people actually recommend using the pinky fingers but its not always necessary, and you are honest with that!!
I became proficient at typing by playing lots of Starcraft:Brood War in high school. Yes, I had computer class in elementary and middle school, but I don't remember caring about those classes enough at the time to really learn anything useful in them. Starcraft was a great teaching aid because 1) you have to remember all of the hotkeys to be decent at the game, and 2) you had to chat with teammates very quickly and frequently during games (or your opponent to talk smack). Fast forward 20+ years, and I sincerely think that Brood War played at least a small role in me having what ended up becoming a successful IT career. Just being able to type proficiently makes you look like you know what you're doing with computers, which is important for a young adult trying to make their way in a new career. Who knew that all of those hours that Starcraft stole from my teenage life would have ended up paying off. Thanks, Blizzard!
So good video dvyjessica🙂
one extra tip that has really helped me is to listen to music or any other thing like a podcast while typing to increase muscle memory because , although I knew all the keyboard keys I had to think about it before clicking the key but now I don't have to think about it
good hack!
Nice video! I wanted to improve my typing speed and moving to a split keyboard with a small amount of keys (my actual has 36) helped a lot. I used monkeytype and got faster than with my old keyboard in a week.
I'm adding this because I think you can have a lot of fun with this experience, and I would love to know how someone that types twice as fast than me feels doing it. Let me know what you think, I can give you some guidance or help with the keyboard mapping if you want to try.
Great video! Typing of the Dead is a great game for increasing your typing skills, as well (Dreamcast version of course)
press CC for captions! also, i know this vid is a bit random but experimenting a little with content while i’m home ☺️ new vlog soon but pls support me until then hehe
nice job! I just passed 200 on a 15 second on monkeytype
Im so glad I grew up using shift + (key) to type capitalized letters, its such a big help, my avg wpm is 120.
Muscle memory builds while resting AFTER you've practiced. Go easy on yourself and keep typing 💯
man, that is insanely fast! personally, my average wpm is 119 on type racer, and my peak was 160
Thank you for this video. It is really helpful
the content and tips are good but this person sounds so kind. I can't imagine them having any online arguments (the primary use of such a fast typing speed🤣)
Thanks for the tips! :) What kind of keyboard do you use?
hello there, I found this video through yt recommendations and this was a good one mainly because this made me aware of keybr. I have a question, though:
about hand positioning, I don't remember when this began but over the years, the more my typing speed improved, the less fingers I end up using, and now I'm sitting at ~170 raw (consistent average is in the 130~140's) with only 7 fingers. I've been stuck at these ranges for so long now and I'm looking to gradually improve them again for future instances. Should I start over from the basics to get my vacant fingers to work up to speed, or do I just continue typing in my current fashion and hope that my active fingers would somehow get past this current plateau? I can try recording a video of my hands while typing if needed. Thanks in advance
the typing platforms I have used extensively (and am still using), albeit not routinely, are Monkeytype, 10fastfingers, Typeracer, Typer Shark Deluxe, and Typing of the Dead 1 & 2 (not the Overkill edition on Steam).
Thank you. You are very sweet and your tips and websites are very helpful. :)
Thanks for the tips. As an aside, I really like your voice and the way you express yourself.
cool video! you would be a monster in vim. there is actually a vim-like extention for chrome if that's of any interest 👍
EDIT: oh I just checked out your channel and you're a software engineer, and probably already know about this stuff haha
oh i actually didn't know that, thank you i'll check it out :D
Ctrl + backspace is amazing!
Wow, You're so adorable 😍
That's the first video from you I saw and I was looking about typing and "by chance" found you.
I am around 100 WPM and I also want to improve my typing speed to double that!
Good luck with your goals!
damn ctrl+backspace is crazy, thank you
im not fast, but I hang around this hobby a little bit (im not dedicated and im more focused on fun with layouts)
- it's great to hear from someone who is actually fast! also wanted to point out that monkeytype can train punctuation and harder words - if you have an account you can even make a default typing profile
also for anyone like me who likes typing as a hobby, unless you go deep into customs (seems like muscle memory is king, so not reccomended for the fastest speeds), it seems like you have to let go of 'proper typing'. it just seems to be worse than whatever you naturally come up with
Fast as fast but You're accurate 100% what is really amazing especially at that speed. This ability is the most impressive to me. Keep flawless typing for joy and productivity ;)
This was really helpful. Thanks
I type average speed (about 70) and I loved the Ctrl-A retype recommendation. Thank you.
Thanks Jessica that is a good advice. I learned to touch type about 10 years ago but have plateaued at 120wpm. Sometimes I wonder if a split space bar would help me
Honestly I recommend Type Rush because you can also see your score and accuracy and get to be part of a global record or something like thah. Ty for the video
She is right about the memory thing, not sure how that works but it just does once you practice over and over. Just know that those keys are there and watch your words as you type. Most of the time I just know when I made a mistake and automatically backspace without looking, when I'm not sure I just backspace the amount where I think I made a mistake and then start from there again, though if you try to think what you're trying to type, you actually take a pause, instead try to type and see what happens.
just two words about the intro ✨✨aural bliss ✨✨
I did the same thing when I was in highschool. We had computer classes and had to do typing on mavis beacon and type papers/essays out of books. I would always finish so fast that I would type stuff for my friends so we could spend the rest of the period playing snood on the computer lol.
Before learning to touch type I was around 50 wpm average while looking at the keyboard occasionally. But now that I know how to touch type my top speed is 115 wpm and my average is 75wpm with the monkeytype settings of english 10k and punctuation. I've only been practicing for about 4-5 months inconsistently.
Wonderful Video. Thanks Jessica
What fingers to use to press Ctrl+C?
I am trying to force myself to use my left pinky for the Ctrl and left forefinger for the C (and S, X, V and F).
But my pinky can become sore after a while.
Sometimes for Ctrl+S I may use my left thumb for the Ctrl and left forefinger for S.
Maybe there is a better way to press Ctrl+C?
If I am lazy I may use my left forefinger for Ctrl and my right forefinger for the rest, but that is definitely not efficient.
My keyboard has another Ctrl button on the rigt side. Maybe I should use my right hand for the Ctrl and left hand for the other buttons.
Up for a challenge. I bet you can get over 200 WPM after spending 6 weeks using a dvorak formatted keyboard. Would love to see a video regarding that experience!
I also got about 190 wpm. Was wondering what you were going to say and then you say Maple Story is the reason. Hahahaha. It's exactly the same for me! Not only the keybinds, but responding to constant chatting in your friend/guild chat while playing at the exact same time can really get those fingers moving lol.
what keyboard layout do your use? query or dvorak?
@@pom001 my best result yet is 210 wpm, typically get 190 without tryharding. I use qwerty. Anyways, I knew a guy who switched to dvorak from qwerty and got pretty decent results after that. Personally, I think he would have got the same ones on qwerty if he had trained as hard as after this switch.
How did you manage to break the 120 WPM barrier? What is your thinking when typing the words? How do you coordinate or position your hands? And how do you move them?
@@whatthepeople Same question I have from you if you don't mind
@@AR-rg2en if you can get 120 WPM, your thinking, coordinating and positioning already aren't that bad per se, otherwise you wouldn't get such results. You can achieve, like, 150 WPM and be consistent enough. Thus, just have patience and practise with no changes.
If you want to go further, yeah, it's not that easy then. You need to parse words and place your fingers accordingly. For example, a word 'accepted'. I'd hold the left little finger on 'a', the left index finger on 'c', the left middle finger on 'e', the right little finger on 'p', and the right index finger on 't'. I'd press 'a', 'c' (twice), and 'e' without an extra delay, then I'd do the same with 'p' and 't', then return to 'e' and 'd' to finish the word. My typing of this word wouldn't seem like I thoughtfully typed letter by letter; it would seem like I typed 'acce', 'pt', and 'ed' parts almost instantly. Another example would be a word 'hello'. I'd hold the left index finger on 'h', the left middle finger on 'e', the right index finger on 'l', and the right middle finger on 'o'. I'd press 'h', 'e', 'l', and 'o' very quickly.
Most of the short words can be typed using this technique without splitting on 2 or more parts (like 'god', 'one', 'help', 'may', 'give'). Many of the words can be split on 2 or 3 parts and be typed fast. Others are obstacles, but they're pretty rare in common dictionaries which sites like Monkeytype use.
i watched the entire video. she is just talented.
Cool, I had quite a similar experience growing up, from early grade school to gaming throughout middle and highschool. Now I have same wpm range, finger usage tendencies.
great video i have one question . what about a costume keyboard ? like you change the letters on a position that make your fingers confortables . not qwerty but a costume .and thank you
One suggestion I have for people learning to type is to use NitroType. I'm not as fast as you but I average about 140wpm on Nitrotype and a best of 175. It's probably faster if I went on monkey type as there are no capital letters or punctuation. One of the ways I got really good at typing fast was using nitrotype as it was more fun and I had more motivation to play the game. However, I think typing with a purpose when playing the game is really important as I play to type faster, not get more races. I know a lot of people who play the game have much more races than me(I have 17k) but type significantly slower. This is probably because they either aren't trying to type fast during their races or aren't focusing on their accuracy.
Sorry for the long read but I thought I'd share my 2 cents about a skill I'm also rather good at.
Thanks for the pointers.
I joined 100 WPM club recently, I can type 110PM in monkeytype at 15seconds, and 96 to 100WPM for 30 sec test..
This video really motivated me to type fast.
I have been researching for a video about microtransations so the wildest part of this video is that you played MapleStory and can still afford a nice keeb.
But on a serious note, that is a wild typing speed. I'm awful. I touch type but I generally only us like 4 fingers. The army taught me to touch type to take messages and then I got lazy or something. Not sure when I lost it but it was a surpise when I looked down once and saw how terrible my technique is.
I'd love to know what keyboard/swicthes you're using.
I generally assumed that I was good at typing because of video games in general. However after you mentioned it I think I remembered the entire keyboard because of MapleStory as well now.
Have you tried typing with an alternate keyboard layout like Dvorak?
The QWERTY layout was intended to keep frequent letters far apart to keep typewriters from getting jammed.
the first clip made me fall in love
Thats new challenge for me , I'm going learn typing now on
great video! you seem like a very sweet person :)
thank you :'D
Got into typing at 2020 because I had nothing to do thanks to quarantine. Now I average around 130-140 on Monkeytype and 110-120 on Typeracer
what keyboard do you use? this is really cool :D
Having your vlog face, bounds the viewers better. Thank you for the tips
Thank you for this
“I’ve spent an hour yesterday trying to hit 190”
Gotta love the honesty. Instead of giving off the impression that 190 is a typical thing to achieve.
Thanks for the tips.
I learned to type from maplestory and runescape. Loved zytype but weird question, did you ever have a computer class where you played that spongebob typing game? That motivated me the most to improve my wpm
also it was hard to pay attention to the video bc of the nostalgia once i noticed the bgm you used :')
i was watching the video in 2x speed so i just witnessed 382 wpm not on a stenography keyboard
I can listen to her all day
The important part is not to use any specific technique but *always* use the same finger for the same key. And of course, it's a good idea to use as many fingers as possible for the technique you select. You could choose technique as "always use right index finger to press any button". And never ever look at the keyboard. Your eyes should be looking at the letters that are appearing on the screen or if you're copying e.g. hand written text, you should be looking at the paper notes while writing. I'm writing this comment while watching the video so obviously I don't need to watch to keyboard nor the text I'm entering. And I've noticed that if somebody interrupts me while I'm typing fast, I typically write about 6-8 letters before stopping - I guess that's about the buffer queue for my text input: while I'm pressing one button, my brain is already thinking about following letters to start moving the fingers into the correct positions and then it's simply about timing to press the buttons in correct order.
Hardest words to touch type are the letters you have to press in sequence using just one finger (any any word that has letters VR or RV following each other, but RC/CR is pretty hard, too, for my technique). That's why using e.g. index finger for lots of letters is a bad idea because you cannot position fingers already into the correct positions while pressing previous buttons. And fastest words to enter are ones that have every letter on alternating hands and each finger having to press only one button.
And as demonstrated on this video, using just three or four fingers per hand will already get you 190+ WPM!
Well, I may be mistaken, but I remember an old video of Kukkain (+200 tier) saying that he used to practice writing whole words at once (something like a chord, but not at the exact same time for every key, of course). And said that sometimes it was better to break the rule of same-key same-finger to make that effectively possible. I've never seen him typing, but it may look like a lot of jutsus or something 😂. (He's one of my favorites though)
As a computer programmer, I only average about a 100. 190 is almost double my speed, that's pretty nuts to even think that, lol.
if you don't hover your hands, try to get in the habit. I'm the same, and my typing speed goes up a ton if I hover. 30 year habits are hard to break tho :D
Yeah I as well program and average about 100 wpm. My issue is I enjoy resting my hands vs hovering. 😭
SDE also … average
Great tips
Just got recommended this by TH-cam and thought I'd give it a click since we have similar experiences, then you mentioned you grew up playing MapleStory and I realised we had even more in common 😂 I get around 140-180 depending on the site and the day.
I never learned to touch type properly to be honest. I don't place my fingers on the home keys, and I think it is making me plateu? The max I can go without grammar is like 110 at this point, and with grammar I average around 80-90. Do you think I should unlearn how I type now and learn to place my fingers on the home keys? Also, what fingers do you use to hit the "t," "y," quotation mark, and semi-colon keys?
I agree, I have the same wpm or maybe not I use different typing test. But I'm definitely above average. Real reason is that I played several kind of games that requires mastering the keys, so I don't even need to look at the keyboard myself.
what keyboard is that? it's pretty cool.. I have the Keychron K3 and it slows my typing down and I keep typing wrong keys..
