TP4 does indeed have a good guide for anyone who wants to increase their speed. Just know that it takes a long time to see results
Take me under your wing Mr. 130something
130??? offended
150something? getting warmer?
Edit: thought I saw a "whats your typing speed thread" where you mentioned ~130
must have been some years ago then haha. Or my realistic average could be 130 honestly, just not my test results.
Ah, yes, let me explain this to the n0vice folks.
Essentially, there are 2 major influences of testing variables on speed results.
-- Logical order of words, (sentences vs random order)
-- Commonality of words, (SUBDERMATOGLYPHIC, you won't have good muscle memory of this word, unlikely)
This creates 4 possible testing situations..
Logical + common (fastest, speed 1) (typracer)
Logical + uncommon (speed 2) (medical transcribers)
Unlogical + common (speed 2) (10 fast fingers)
Unlogitcal + uncommon (speed 3) (Random strings of characters, Sean Wrona speed is ~160)
The difference between the 2x (Speed 2) is highly context dependent and will vary greatly from person to person.. so we can't generalize them.
However, what we can say, is that speed 1 is most likely faster for most people, while speed 3 is the slowest..
