How fast can you type?

[Goldenjewel]

Hello every one,

I have never attended any typing course. I learnt typing all by my self. I started typing with one hand, one finger the day a friend of mine signed up a yahoo ID for me. At first, I was so slow but gradually my speed increased as I continued to use the computer quite often. Now am able to type with my two hands and more fingers.

I do not know how many wpm I can type but I type faster when I have someone dictating the words or sentences for me because am able to concentrate on the key board.

My problem now is having the ability to type correctly with out looking at the key board. I wish I could be able to use the right fingers for the keys correctly.

Julie.

Hi Julie,

Thanks a lot for sharing your typing experiences with us. If you want to learn how to use your fingers properly, you should try the Dance Mat Typing page by the BBC. It's an excellent interactive program that guides you through the process step by step.

Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Torsten

Hi Julie,
I used to have the same problem with you. I currently use Cool Type Master to improve my typing speed and keyboard accuracy. It works pretty fine for me. And now I can type 78 wpm. Hope it's also helpful for you.

Hi Elzbieta,

Welcome to english-test.net and many thanks for promoting Cool Type Master. The difference between Dance Mat Typing and Cool Type Master is that Dance Mat Typing is completely free to use while Cool Type Master is not.

Regards,
Torsten

Hi Torsten
Thanks for your reply. I tried the dance mat typing and a friend of mine downloaded advanced speed typing 99 on my PC. I found both very Interesting and exciting to use.

And to Elzbieta

I have tried the dance mat typing and the one my friend downloaded on my PC. I have improved a lot on my typing speed and am getting to know how to use my fingers properly on the key board.
