----------------------------------- Nathan4102 Mon May 13, 2013 5:51 pm Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Kind of like that "Fastest Internet" post, except this time, typing! I usually use "TypingTest.com", if you have a better test, use that I guess. Post your Words/M below! Mines not too bad, especially considering I only type with three fingers, and I don't use that "Home Row" stuff. I used the "Test Instructions" test on "TypingTest.com" at one minute. Note: Winner gets a bit from me if you need a reason to post. http://i0.simplest-image-hosting.net/picture/untitled343.png ----------------------------------- 2goto1 Tue May 14, 2013 8:50 am RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Not bad for three fingers. Tried out the same test, my typing is pretty error strewn. Haven't been typing much lately. http://www.anony.ws/i/2013/05/14/umIcZ.png ----------------------------------- Zren Tue May 14, 2013 11:28 am RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Uhg. Not used to reading -> typing. http://i.imgur.com/FNUp2jr.png ----------------------------------- 2goto1 Tue May 14, 2013 2:11 pm Re: Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Bit faster now. I felt like I was starting to get my rhythm a bit this afternoon. http://www.anony.ws/i/2013/05/14/EB0Qp.png ----------------------------------- Nathan4102 Tue May 14, 2013 2:22 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- I can't see your images, for some reason the host you're using isn't loading for me. ----------------------------------- andrew.

Not sure why, it's just a .png image. I got 128wpm before errors, 117 after ----------------------------------- Nathan4102 Tue May 14, 2013 9:43 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Dang, nice! If no one else beats you, remind me later I owe you 1 bit! ;) ----------------------------------- 2goto1 Tue May 14, 2013 9:47 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Start typing with 5 fingers and you should be able to beat that speed! ----------------------------------- Nathan4102 Tue May 14, 2013 9:55 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- It would take me a while to learn, ive typed likes this since I was about 10! I might try it soon, and that homerow thing too. ----------------------------------- 2goto1 Tue May 14, 2013 10:02 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Who knows, you could be the next Sean Wrona ----------------------------------- 2goto1 Tue May 21, 2013 3:05 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- When do I get my bit? ----------------------------------- Nathan4102 Tue May 21, 2013 3:09 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Oh right. There you go, congratulations. ;) ----------------------------------- BigBear Tue May 21, 2013 7:30 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- For typing code I recommend http://typing.io/ I was impressed by your scores until I tried the same test and realized that typing sentences is easier than code and also that the test is only one minute long, so you can just burst it. Still impressive scores! ----------------------------------- 2goto1 Tue May 21, 2013 8:12 pm Re: RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- Oh right.

Still impressive scores! Neat site, my typing speed is much slower with any of those programming tests. Those tests are definitely more suitable for measuring programming speed...I've found in the bulk of my day to day work that I type internal and external communications far more than program source...I'd guess 100 times or more. ----------------------------------- BigBear Tue May 21, 2013 9:35 pm RE:Fastest Typer??? ----------------------------------- I've kept track of how much code I have written at the end of the day and it is surprisingly not a lot. But I do write code and then change it and run it and change it and test and change it. I still think it is important to be able to type quickly to keep up with your thoughts. And also for communication and documentation. I wouldn't go as far to say that a coder who can't touch type is like a swimmer who wears cargo shorts. Coding is primarily about thinking. At least that's how I feel about it now. I used to think it was really important and maybe when I know more about what I am doing and don't need to spend as much time as typing.
