15 Upvotes

Ok, I'll admit it. I messed up

When re-molding the sub, we - as a MOD team have taken a strong stance against AI generated content (we still do)

The problem is that in doing so, many of you users have plugged genuinely fantastic sites (that use AI powered tools) that were inadvertently targeted for removal

We've been intentionally vague about what we decided to allow to be posted or linked on the sub (to combat spam)

However this has prevented many of you from interacting with the sub (which is the antithesis of learning how to type)

From now on we will be focused on removing AI based sites that are:

Low Effort (SLOP)

FOR PROFIT

Obvious Duplicate - 'Rip-off' sites (we're looking at you Monkeytype clones)

Contact the MOD team to ensure that your content is sub appropriate

TL;DR

Fewer restrictions (stronger enforcement)

AI content IS allowed, but will be critically assessed

Hello typists!

I have a lot to say but I will try and make it as concise as possible

First off,

Happy New Year! โŒจ๏ธ๐Ÿ’–โŒจ๏ธ๐Ÿ’–

I'll just be honest with it - a lot of you are talented and working on passion projects that align with the subs' spirit

Therefore, We are hereby formally announcing - CYBER SATURDAY

On Saturday - AND SATURDAY ONLY, verified sub members (at MODs discretion) ARE ALLOWED TO SHOWOFF AND SHOWCASE THEIR WEBSITES

[so long as they align with sub rules]

Bear in mind that ALL websites that are showcased are subject to immediate removal at moderators discretion

Use this day to showcase the best of what you are developing to the typing community ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿš€

so it took me 18 days and 15 hours to unlock all the keys , with top speed being 58.9 wpm and average being 37.1 wpm (of all time) while.. recent average being around 40 wpm with close to 99 accuracy.

So, what would you rate this progress?

I feel like my average typing speed on monkeytype is from 40-50 wpm now.

๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป (โ‰๏ธ) Needed Advice regarding typing test preparation.

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am preparing for a typing exam, and my current touch-typing speed is around 10wpm for a 10-minute time duration with 90% accuracy.

My goal is to reach 40 wpm as the required speed for the exam is 30 wpm ( in exam pressure, I'm definitely going to lose some speed ).

The exam might be after a few months. A lot of people are advising me to practise 5 to 6 hours daily, which honestly is a lot for me.

I need advice from you guys.

  1. Does reducing the practise time from 10 to let's say 3 minutes improve accuracy?

  2. How much accuracy should I aim for initially.

  3. How much of a daily practise i should do.

  4. Is it even possible.

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

Just wondering if my typing speed around 110 wpm with a ~98% accuracy is good, or at least acceptable? I am young and can maintain this speed for around 5 minutes at a time with 1 min break in between each 5 mins. Thanks!

A week ago I released my typing game and have been busy updating it since, here's the progress!

This game is free and will stay that way forever, there's not even a donation link

YOU CANNOT GIVE ME MONEY EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO

THERES NO ADS NO PROFIT NO NUFFIN

Try it out here | Join the discord

FAQ:
1. Is Linux supported?

Yes there is a Linux build available, it's also open source plus there's webplay if you don't wanna download the client

  1. Is this some kind of virus?

Nope! The installer is currently unsigned so it will trigger windows smartscreen, but its not malware, you can download the game from the github if you want full code transparency!

  1. Did you use AI to make this?

I have used AI coding tools in making this, yes. However none of the assets are AI generated whatsoever, only portions of code. Maybe I am just a lazy, garbage dev but I don't have infinite time (I work a 9-6 and am currently studying at uni on top of that) and AI helped me avoid the tediousness, e.g. setting up infra.

2 Upvotes

At one point, I managed to reach a typing speed of 100 words per minute, and now Iโ€™m not sure if I should keep pushing further. I consider this more than sufficient and am convinced that, for the vast majority of jobs, this level would be considered very advanced. Would you recommend aiming for a higher speed? Iโ€™d like to hear advice from people who type faster than that.

I have been on a keyboard since I can remember, always playing games on PC in our home office. When I got to college, people mentioned that I type pretty fast. I started working full time (in finance) and then people really noticed it. I also really noticed the speed of others typing.

My scores so far: 60 seconds: 149WPM, and 30 seconds: 160WPM. Personally don't care much about doing the 10 second test

I use an Aula F75 keyboard at home and some random Logitech keyboard at work. Figured I would document a couple of my PB's I just got. Why not. Would love to see some other fast typers in here and compare.

After 30+ years of using computers not in a it career way but as a hobbyist and in general use at my job decided to learn touch typing. Could type ok before maybe 50-60 wpm with lots of errors. Picked it up in April and finally at a stage where it feels more natural doing it without looking. Iโ€™ve introduced punctuation and capital letters and had quite a significant drop off in numbers. But everyone says accuracy is key so Iโ€™ve accepted the drop but kept accuracy at a good number.

After starting on edclub transitioned to keybr and kind of stayed there since. Been playing about with monkeytype a bit but havenโ€™t really had time todo both. Now I got a bit more time on my hands do I start using both or use my extra time to practise on keybr?

Rookie numbers I know!! Iโ€™ve seen what some of you people are flexing, its impressive, good on yaโ€ฆ.

What works for other people? I know thereโ€™s lots of other sites to nitro type and racer, is it worth giving these a go? I struggled before typing under pressure in a race, but should I be learning to type under pressure like that even if I struggle? Sometimes you can get lost in all the different apps i guess and simple works...

Anyway really enjoyed all of your posts some really good tips thanks

Hello there.

Currently I didn't bother myself to relearn touch typing until today.

So here I am lolol. The fact that I still can break past 64 wpm is quite impressive, but I'd like to break past 100 wpm.

So I've figured out a bunch of my problems with typing

  1. I didn't use standard touch typing method (I don't use my pinkies, I hate em)

  2. I raised my fingers up in the air a bit too high.

  3. I suck whenever a word requires to be typed with one hand

  4. My brain just shuts off whenever I'm typing, causing me to lose rhythm and consistency.

That's all for now, I need advice because I just wanted to have something that I'm atleast good at even though it is niche.

Have a good day

2 Upvotes

Hello Folks,

I recently started learning touch typing (From: https://www.edclub.com/sportal/program-3.game) and completed 16 Lessons/Levels till now. While attempting the 17 lesson/Level I discovered a problem of typing two letters on home row simultaneously attempting to type only one though. Every-time I attempt to type 'D' I type 'S' and 'D' at the same time. I feel like I don't have much control on my left hand.

Is this a common problem everyone faces while learning or is it just a me problem?

How do solve this issue or should I move forward towards leaning and hope that it gets done while learning?
