Awww, it plays rather poorly with mobile, since space bar doesn't bring up the next word...

Okay, let's try this. Eh, I've done better... Really annoying to have to constantly hit enter though. Also annoying there's no flow to this test, which means yo u either score okay or terribly. Should be paragraphs of normal types of writing, not single words. .... Uhm, well now. Can't find the add photo button on mobile. Will edit in a few minutes when I get back to desktop...   ^Not bad for two thumb typing... With thumbs that are large enough to almost fully cover 1.5 size keycaps (I think it's 1.5). This is AVERAGED out, two months of usage, as a note.  WhiteWulfe / SwiftKey on Huawei P20 Pro / Android 8.1 / 48 wpm, 100% accuracy. |

Fired up a better typing one, just to prove I "still have it", even if my scores aren't as good as they used to be (funny how not being warmed up AND having your keyboard still in the position that you game in makes it harder to type....) Probably won't count, but still. Oh, and for the record, I've clocked as high as 178wpm in the past, but my accuracy is terrible at that rate (93% or so)... Of course, nowadays I have repetitive strain in both wrists (with the right side being the rarer 2% of people version that makes your pinky and ring finger tingle, instead of the more common variety), and therefore don't type as fast as I used to, but still. play.typeracer.com/ WhiteWulfe / 2013 Razer Black Widow Ultimate w/ Cherry MX Blues / JägerWulfe (i7 4770K @ stock, 16GB DDR3-2400CL10, GTX 980 Ti, Windows 7 Pro, THREE MONITORS OF DOOM IN SURROUND) / 124 WPM @ 99.5% accuracy |

Wow that's incredible! Mine was 42 wpm last time I tried haha. Looks like practice is in order! Suffice to say I type... A LOT. Well, not as much as I used to in the past but still... It started in grade 3,where they said I'd need it for 4-6, who then put me on a different typing program and said I'd need it for junior high. Junior high said I needed it for high school, high school said I needed it for college. College said here's paper and a pencil, lol... I did go to a technical college though, where it was textbooks and twisting wrenches, even if I didn't pursue the apprenticeship stuff (turns out I really hate commission work, and auto work up here is all per diem, aka by the job. I prefer stability with my paycheques) - yup, took a pre-apprenticeship program for auto maintenance, but it was a hobby that didn't click well for a job to me.. I also practiced a lot back in the day with various IRC channels (often to the point where I was role-playing 2-3 characters at the same time), and was double buffer posting each time... Same thing with SecondLife when I used to be on it rather heavily.. Triple buffer (when it had a buffer in chats anyways) posts... I think my record for writing is some posts on LiveJournal where I did something "short and sweet" and I had a full page at 1080p written up, with proper formatting, in all of ten minutes... Tl;dr: it's a practice thing, you spend most of your life takking away on a keyboard and you tend to become faster at typing. Since switching to mechanical keyboards I've only worn out one keyboard, instead of having to replace them ever year and a half or so... And that one was only replaced due to an accidental ingress of Coca-Cola, which killed the switches for Z and X... I'll fix it (and convert it to clicky switches) eventually. |

Can't sit still long enough to type much. The little that is, well keep it quick and simple most of the time. Never was good with typing because the mechanical keyboards we had growing up was on a typewriter. SsshhhhK Kaching! I didn't see a PC in school (in class) until 7th or 8th grade while the science teacher had totally awesome monochrome monitor on the 486 apple PC.
Do you know how hard it was to land a plane with flight simulator back then? Oh the wing of the plane was a green line and it looked just like the horizon line!! Never did make a landing. lol.
My kids all have Chromebooks from the school. Even the kindergartner. Kids have the knowledge at their fingertips today at a super young age. Our TV had knobs, and antennas and tuning into frequencies manually. The good ol' days.
But I agree. practice makes perfect no matter your profession.

Our TV had knobs, and antennas and tuning into frequencies manually. The good ol' days. But I agree. practice makes perfect no matter your profession. Ahhhh, mechanical typewriters. I remember those. Still want one from the 1940's, alongside a 1930's depression era German piano... But I should probably get a house for that stuff first! Before school, I learnt to type on an electronic typewriter my parents had. It was great... Until you tried to remember three words back, or you realized three words later you'd mispelt something and had to go back. It would keep a full line in the buffer, you'd hit enter, and it would THEN put it to paper. I learnt how to use a mechanical one a few years after that, and then the school stuff happened ^_^;;;; Ahhhh, good ol' Apple IIGS, aka Iggy. Then PowerMacs, then PowerMac 3300's, etc.... Most of my schools were Apple computers, I didn't get to use a PC at school until 7th or 8th grade, but parents had a 486SX25 back in the day... Given that playing Tank and Combat! was hard enough back then, yeah, I could see how that flight simulator would be "interesting"... My first flight simulator was Microsoft Flight Simulator, although I don't remember which version, but it was before Windows 95 was announced. Ahhh, the knobs and antennae... The first TV my parents had that I remember had a 300 Ohm antenna, then we got the new fangled coax 75 Ohm ones... I also remember dad having somewhat... Colourful and expressive language when he had to try and connect the NES to the TV and we didn't have an RF adapter at the time. Was some sort of kitbash of 300>75 adapters to get it to work (he got the RF adapter a few days later, since he didn't like having to switch between playing Duck Hunt and watching TV). |

This was the most exhausting benchmark I´ve ever run. A bit unfair that I can´t type in my own language and the single words thrown at random don´t really allow for a 'flow' to build up? Like I feel I´m faster when I type 'real' sentences as I have a whole chain of characters and the motions to them in my head ready and I don´t have to take each word in individually. Anyway: OsmiumOC / Ducky Shine 7 - MX Blacks / on my daily 1950X machine / 78 WPM, 100%  Does 100% mean my hand-OC is stable? |

Give Type Racer a try - it has multiple language support, AND uses actual writing that flows a lot more naturally (typically passages taken from books, magazines, speeches, etc). They let me submit Type Racer results, so I suspect it's an alternative app that's allowed  (plus, like you said, writing in one's native language can be a lot easier, doubly so with sentences being written) |
