So you just guess.  Thank you.  That's all I need to know.

Glad to know you got the final word, kiddo.

Linkbane was talking about bursts of typing. 

So was I.

You were not.  You were talking about effective words per minute, taking into account long breaks of not typing (proofreading, coffee, whatever).  We're only talking about your maximum maintained typing speed for continued typing intervals, like typing a long e-mail or copying a chapter someone is dictating to you.

Please, this argument is getting very old and is really more about getting a last word in rather than bringing anything useful to the discussion of maximizing typing efficiency.

You were not.  You were talking about averaged words per minute, taking into account long breaks of not typing (proofreading, coffee, whatever).  We're only talking about your maximum maintained typing speed for continued typing intervals, like typing a long e-mail or copying a chapter someone is dictating to you.

But while they do type, their average WPM when typing will be a certain number.

On that logic, then I say I do bursts of up to 220-240 wpm from audio.

Tp4.. gets last word...

I was talking about all the posts that led up to the argument that's been taking up two pages now.  We can pick and choose at portions of what others type and use to frame every new argument to our advantage.  Best to let other people use this space now to post on topic.

Proword has contributed ideas useful to the maximisation of typing efficiency far more than most on this forum.

What I don't understand is how you reach your figure of an average speed.  Is it just a guess?  I certainly give my method of calculation for reaching my average speed of 23 wpm for 8 hours. 

Joe

Isn't that special? I find my speed by using online tests, which usually work quite well. Otherwise if I truly feel like timing the amount of time it took for me to write something out, I could time myself to the second and have the word count divided by time in minutes. Nothing earth shattering in the slightest. Given that I do that very rarely, it's simple for me to determine my speed by feeling. I've done many, many tests so it's pretty ingrained that I can estimate my speed accurately within about 5 wpm.

5 WPM? You might want to edit that.

I agree with the post though. You can test yourself for a minute, or write an essai, count your time, and divide the final word count with that time so you get an actual result, but that's not typing speed to it's max, it's thinking + creating + correcting. It's like Marathon versus sprint i guess lol

=P
Mostly in tests. Probably not so well typing essays, because I'm not focused on the speed so much haha.
Usually I can guess pretty closely, though.

So are we still on type fast or you suck mode?

You pulled that out of nowhere. Stop.

we had a drug test at work the other day and the testing people were talking about how at one place a guy tested and it smelled up the room, come to find out it was horse pee.

wha..... so was this a ranch work place, or did the guy partake in recreational drugs and bought horse-pee on the internet for just the occasion

[Quardah]

What the **** has this thread turned to?

Less stupid stuff more WPM tests results and posts.

No it was an industrial workplace, he was attempting to 'beat' the test..

I hit my max last night which was 105 WPM. I apparently average at 91 WPM. Not anything near as crazy as Sifo, but still not bad I think.

That's incredibly good! I capped 87 this morning, which is my current best.

Considering we have the same weapon, i'll train and come back.

[ynrozturk]

You're where I was about a month or two ago. I just ran speed tests every other day for like 30 minutes and it gradually goes up. My average was like 83-84, and now it's 91 so that's good enough for practical use I think.

[Linkbane]

Going to repost because I've made some progress. I'm still not nearly as fast as Sifo on typeracer, but my 10FF tests tend to be the same or a little faster. My best is 158 as of a little while ago, and I usually can score one or 150s, depending on the day.
On typeracer, my average is somewhere around 120, with a best of 140 or so.

I knew you couldn't be 5WPM LOL!

158 is super fast man!

LOL! I meant that I could guess within that margin, not that that was my speed. 

[jwaz]

158 is super fast man!

It's pretty average.

[Photoelectric]

158 is super fast man!

It's pretty average.

If that's average, I'm on the slow wagon at my ~90WPM

clearly you need to practice more

God damnit why are we so average JesusWasAZombie?

Definitely not trolling me with that signature. 

[tp4tissue]

Among all the keyboard speed-enthusiasts..  120-130wpm (Tp4's speed) is the average..  to go above it is dedication and elite status..

my speed is scrub speed...

the people < 120 are n00bs, because they've probably just started...

[LechnerDE]

150 wpm seems so out of reach for me

I am struggling to even maintain ~90 wpm, I guess I'll have to improve one word at a time...
