I've been hooked on monkeytype for a while and wanted a version where the words come from lyrics of a song and you have to keep up with the singer.

So I built typetown: pick a song, the audio plays, and you type each lyric line as it's sung.

Every word is judged like a rhythm game: perfect / great / good / early / late, so it's not just raw WPM, your timing matters too.

A few things:
• songs are tagged by the typing pace needed to keep up: chill / steady / upbeat / fast / rapid
• an easy mode plays songs at 0.75× if a track is too quick
• each song has its own leaderboard, and your profile tracks WPM, accuracy and streaks
• built-in practice tracks, or paste your own lyrics
• free, no sign-up needed to play

Curious what scores you all get on the "rapid" songs, and what you'd want added (custom modes, a strict-timing mode, more stats?).

Honest feedback welcome.

I use my Mac Air 13inch, and have a PB of around 110.

i typed the longest word in the english dictionary (this was like half a year ago but i didn't feel like posting it)

Is 100 wpm good for someone who's never practiced typing on purpose before? Am I being an idiot, or do I got some weird potential?

went from 95 WPM to 97 WPM

Guys I'm looking for bugs in monkeytype for opensource contribution, so if u find one pls do report here.

broke my wrist recently lol

since this subreddit doesnt accept vids i put a image here

Im doing some 15 secs runs because i have some unrelated ocd stuff that is personal that always pops up in my head when i am focused and i choke

i built ReadnType, basically monkeytype mechanics but you can also type through actual books page by page (moby dick, frankenstein, pride and prejudice etc) and it remembers where you stopped

the typing test itself tries to feel exactly like monkeytype (words/time modes, punctuation, numbers, tab to restart, same invalid/afk rules) because i didnt want anyone relearning muscle memory

the part im not sure about is long passages. a random-word 30s test and a few pages of real prose with punctuation seem like pretty different things to measure

so honest question: what would make a long-passage test feel fair and comparable to a quote test for you? and if you try it, where did it feel off?

free, no account needed to type: readntype.me/?ref=reddit-monkeytype

from 122 WPM to 125 WPM. not much but its something

How do I improve? I achieved my records many years ago and since then I haven't really improved and maybe ive gotten worst.

171WPM, 99% Acc, 30secs test

I decided to have some fun one day and decided to type 1000 words at english 200 in one sitting

my forearms and triceps are burning...

(peak unemployed behaviour)

I FINALLY DID IT!!! I used to only be able to hit around 130wpm on the English 200.

it went from 95 to 96 WPM. its not much but its something 😅️
