Great video. I'm 48 and learning to touch type for the first time after being horribly frustrated with my typing speed for years and years. I'm doing pretty good so far but your video was still inspiring and entertaining. Thanks n
My computer lab teacher gave this nugget to help us type faster and it was AMAZING!!! He is a huge Star Wars nerd and would quote an old Jedi saying "Slow is fast. Fast is slow." To speed up your typing, type 'slow'. It sounds wrong but actually is true when practiced. You'll notice when you type when you make a mistake it knocks down your wpm. If you don't make a mistake by typing slowly it raises your wpm. Eventually, you'll get faster by typing slow because you're organically getting faster because you're improving technique and getting the motions deep into your muscle memory.
@@aniketpatil9129 It's never difficult, never say this to yourself instead say "I'll rever 70 WPM one day and when you reach 70 say I'll reach 75WPM " 20 mins of daily practice will surely get you there, mine average is 72WPM and highest is 82WPM i reach this speed with not so consistent practice but with a mindset to achieve a little more every time I practice.
Great video! I personally started to train to type faster in December 2020, and I went from 60 WPM to 90-100 WPM now! My advice would be to break your bad habits by forcing yourself to use all your fingers and not look at the keyboard. I would also recommend not descending below 96% accuracy, and if this is the case just slow down! And if you come to a point where you are stuck, to let's say 90 WPM, try to type faster (even if you make mistakes) to accustom your fingers to a greater speed! Also, I don't know why, but I type faster when I am listening to something (I've actually beaten my record while listening to this video and done 104 WPM with 97% accuracy). 🚀
I have been practising blind typing for 1~1.5 years, and now I am able reach 60 wpm. Feel very proud, though I still have a very long way to go in order to polish my skill. Keep going guys, it pays off, I remember how at the very beginning I struggled even to learn how to type 4 letters…
Yup !! Practice makes everything easy :) it's been one year my speed wpm changed from 50 to 90 :) I literally got crush with your video edits :) the way you edits all your are fantastic 💥
last year in school i practiced typing every time i had a break and by the end of the year i had come from 15 words per minute to averaging 47 through 62 words per minute. i know that isnt fast but that still is a big upgrade from when i started and now i never have to look at the keyboard.
As an author, I find myself typing way too fast. My thoughts formulate faster than my fingers can produce. When I go back and read what I wrote I realize that I've made a myriad of mistakes. Thanks for this video.
Very good point! Speed is not always necessary. Like in real life scenarios, we type because we are writing something from our own mind, rather than typing what the words in front of us. Thanks for this realization.
I also recommend taking breaks when typing. I tried to increase my typing speed too fast without taking breaks and I developed long-term pain in both my wrists
I'm at 100wpm with two finger typing, but I'm trying to learn touch typing for university as I feel like it might increase my speed :) I'm starting at 30wpm and I'm actually improving pretty quickly. Also touch typing is so much less exhausting than using only two fingers haha.
I am not able to use all fingers of my left hand while typing meanwhile i am able to use all my fingers from the right hand while typing . Due to this shortcoming the max i am able to reach is 85 WPM. While on an average if i type normally it is 70-75 WPM
the thing is stop using pinky to type q and p and leave it for shift and other keys such as brackets i used pinky and i hafta say pinky is a hindrance especially on qwerty i can see a diff of 5 wpm after mastering the ring finger for p n q
I had a speed of 40-45 wpm without touch typing. I learnt touch typing & my speed fell to 25-30. Then I reached 45-50 wpm in a week and improved till 75 wpm in another 2 weeks. So it definitely helps , no doubts about it. The problem now though is I'm trying harder and the speed is improving quite slowly. Most often its 2-3 wpm per week.
@@bernardcummings8786 Generally I'm switching keyboards to accustom myself with most of them as I tend to vary my speeds after the switch to different ones . I'm currently using Red Dragon K 208 , Ajazz AK33, Cooler Master CK552,Logitech G 920 Mechanical keyboards. While the membranes ones are HyperX Alloy Core,Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS Challenger Prime. So I'm focusing on consistency more as of now to be 80+ wpm on all of them. Then I'll get back to increasing the speed in steps.
I am stuck at round 55 wpm since last year of november and It really pisses me off. The main thing for me is the tiny mistakes where i type the adjacent letters switched.
some one rightly said focus on Accuracy ... and type letters from correct fingers by sitting in correct position .. and in your mind remmber the spelling of words you want type .. coz most of the time we don't think about word .. we just type them subconsiously .... but here only we do mistakes .. dont see the letters .. see them as word! ..
I was thinking about enhancing my typing skills today as I was coding. I look at my keyboard too often sometimes and I want to improve from that. Thanks very useful. 😎🥰
I remember myself typing at ~40 wpm long time ago, I thought it was decent enough not to bother about speed of typing. Then I learned touch typing and now I'm at 100-120 wpm, it feels crazy how people can type at just 40 wpm and be happy, this is so slow, I can reach such speed in just 2 weeks of typing practice in any new layout (I was trying Colemak one time). I think average typing speed should be close to 90 wpm, imagine productivity boost on Planetary scale from just that. Btw you type C with wrong finger.
I hit 117 as my highest ever but I tend to hover around 105-110 normally. I was a heavy Cherry Blue user but I got this one board with Browns and even though they're unpopular Cherry Browns are my absolute favorite and Im faster on tehm
I have an average of 106 wpm in typeracer, but I only use my laptop keyboard. Although I'm still consistently practicing, do you think my rate of improvement will be higher in a mechanical keyboard? I've used them a few times but I can't afford one right now lol.
My average wpm is 55 ........ gone upto 88 .... I want to add ... we all have good typing speed but when we have to type for say email or something like that ... or write now when I am commenting ... this time words should come fast to your brain .. then only you can type them fast ... apart from this .. typing fast without seeing .. is really fun .. and cool thing to do .. you well good ..
Hey harshibar! So, I had a typing speed of 30-35 wpm and after a month of practice sessions(which weren't as frequent and long as it ideally should have been) i reached a speed of 70+ wpm. I once hit 80 wpm in 10fastfingers and usually clock around 75 wpm on a good day. But i have a slight bad habit. I don't use my pinky fingers and this is really staggering my speed because everytime i use punctuations i usually type wrong and i have to correct it which takes few crucial seconds. Also because i don't use my pinkies my index and ring fingers do twice the work. Should i restart my journey with 10 finger typing or continue without using my pinky fingers? What do you think I should do? PS: My typing speed reduces to 15 wpm whenever i try ten finger typing :) I know with practice i will be able to go back to my original speed but i worked really hard to get this speed and now to go back to pretty much zero is heart breaking ;_;
You'll not take that much time to reach the same levels of speed and maybe even overcome your best speed if you give it consistent practice for 2-3 months. As you already have good finger movements, your speed will not be an issue , you'll adapt faster once the technique sets in ,your accuracy however, would need work at least in the first few days. Initially, you'll make errors because of your old habit & your mind's conflicting trigger movements. So the first 2 weeks will be horrible for you. After that you'll surely improve and step by step gain some speed every week. All it'll take is some effort from your side. So ..All the Best.
what is difference in the effect of practice when you change your thechniqe? i mean i type with my index fingers on average speed but i type allot and my speed rate stays steady, if i try to practice touch type with all of my fingers on the ways that the websites guide and practice my speed could rise up for 80, 90 and 100? i dont understand how come practice on one metohd makes progress but on the regular (hunt type) makes no different im realy want to learn type 90 + wpm

Q
This seems like a cat to me
How is it possible to reach 100 wpm with only two fingers? It's supposed to be on average speed type
I am having nostalgic flashbacks seeing that orange cover. It was not fun doing it, but today I'm glad I learned it way back then.
i absolutely HATED that orange cover back in the day 😅

i can see a diff of 5 wpm after mastering the ring finger for p n q

Hey harshibar!
So, I had a typing speed of 30-35 wpm and after a month of practice sessions(which weren't as frequent and long as it ideally should have been) i reached a speed of 70+ wpm.
I once hit 80 wpm in 10fastfingers and usually clock around 75 wpm on a good day.
But i have a slight bad habit. I don't use my pinky fingers and this is really staggering my speed because everytime i use punctuations i usually type wrong and i have to correct it which takes few crucial seconds.
Also because i don't use my pinkies my index and ring fingers do twice the work.
Should i restart my journey with 10 finger typing or continue without using my pinky fingers? What do you think I should do?
PS: My typing speed reduces to 15 wpm whenever i try ten finger typing :)
I know with practice i will be able to go back to my original speed but i worked really hard to get this speed and now to go back to pretty much zero is heart breaking ;_;
You'll not take that much time to reach the same levels of speed and maybe even overcome your best speed if you give it consistent practice for 2-3 months. As you already have good finger movements, your speed will not be an issue , you'll adapt faster once the technique sets in ,your accuracy however, would need work at least in the first few days.

After that you'll surely improve and step by step gain some speed every week.
All it'll take is some effort from your side.
So ..All the Best.

You click "C" key with index finger ?? ... but most of the typist suggest it to type with middle finger.
meanwhile me with my thumb o_o
i think it just depends on the person! for me, it feels more natural to click 'c' with my pointer finger, maybe since it's a bit more flexible.
