What keyboard are you using and what is your WPM?
Typing test: https://monkeytype.com
I used Unexpected Keyboard
Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)
I'm interested in how fast people who swipe type are.
Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential "to be faster" than the standard keyboards?
touch type and no word suggestion and autocorrect.
I just tried it with my swipe keyboard and the website didn't like it at all. It was double entering words randomly when I would otherwise type fine.
I tried it with open board and had the same issue I'm never going back to non swiping but I miss swype everyday
25 wpm 83%
I was using phones with hardware keyboards for way too long and never really learned to type on screen keyboards. Now I just hate them and use desktop communicators whenever I can.
SwiftKey wants to capitalize every first letter for some reason, so it gave me 0 wpm due to errors
Swiftkey is very very likely spying on you ;D
Thanks, everyone fornletting me kmkw aboit Florisbkard. Im always down to rey to nee opem source keyboard. It has perfext typing.
Edit: I honestly don't know how anyone could praise an early beta keyboard with no autocorrect and no paricularly compelling features over OpenBoard.
Yah, the Florisboard comments always weird me out. There isn't a chance in hell I'm using a keyboard without an autocorrect. Everyone must type perfectly with their thumbs except me.
I used to on physical keyboards. I would turn autocorrect on my LG Ally off because it was in the way more than anything else.
Onscreen keyboards exist because god is dead and satan is in charge.
I don't type with autocorrect. Last time I checked it was around the same speed as me using swipe, ~76 wpm.
I've recently started growing my nails so that has made it slightly harder. Not sure how people type with nails.
Learn typing lol
Unexpected keyboard also, never liked swyping to type, autosuggestion and things like that.
Also this is on cold when I just woke so my wpm is usually a but faster than this on mobile, while I have 100-110 on average on pc with regular qwerty.
70 wpm: physical keyboard on mobile (blackberry clone)
53 touch
42 swipe
I believe my pc keyboard I get 70 wpm or something
43wpm, 95% accuracy, Gboard Dvorak no swipe
Fingers are a bit cold from just walking the dog, and I'm tired from getting off a 12 hour shift, have a feeling I could do better under different circumstances.
Haven't tested myself on a real keyboard in a long time, but once upon a time I could hit well north of 100wpm pretty consistently if I tried. When I tested myself in preparation for my current job about 5 years ago I think I usually hovered somewhere around 80-90 (911 dispatch, my agency requires at least 60 to pass the aptitude test, I wasn't worried about passing but I was curious where I was at since I hadn't been typing much at the time)
76 wpm at 85% accuracy with MS SwiftKey
44 wpm.
I've tried a lot of different systems, and now I primarily use STT. Even with the things I have to change manually, it's still much faster for me to use STT than to swipe.
50WPM, 100% accuracy with AnySoftKeyboard and no aids. This was the third try.
53 wpm, 95% accuracy, using gboard
66 wpm, 94% accuracy with standard google keyboard.
To improve speed I'd suggest simply practicing. You'll get better over time!
lemme try rq
edit:
gboard (firewalled ofc) got me this, i am guessing this is for sure faster that typing on my laptop, and i now am paying attention to my typing speed.will be updated if i change keyboard's probably
Florisboard with no swipe, no word predictions, no autocorrection, no nonsense.
WPM? Fast enough. It takes more time to proofread, edit and attach files than to actually type, anyway, so I don't care about words per minute. Never have.
58 with stock apple keyboard (don’t know why I decided to post this comment in an android community lol)
AnySoftKeyboard and got 54wpm 95% accuracy. Better than I thought I would get
Came here to see if there were any supporters for AnySoft Keyboard 😃
I used messageease for a month or so but was unable to improve :/ https://www.exideas.com/ME/index.php
67wpm 97% accuracy with chrooma keyboard and swipe. Switched to gboard and only got 54/87.
34/84% tops swipe or normal Gboard.
All swipe inputs other than Gboard have become immensely worse after the first few months of existing, and Gboard shortly after gaining the feature. Tap typing feels unaligned on every phone these days too. The suggestions for tap and the chosen word when swiping are often the most out there words nobody ever uses too.
63 wpm, 91% acc
Florisboard, I love that keyboard. I have to say I cant perfectly read mistakes on Monkeytype so some more of them
Monkey type uses a very synthetic approach to measuring words per minute. I feel that allows everyone's numbers to be artificially high. Typing cat feels a bit more realistic.
I was faster and more accurate in typing manually (~ 70 wpm) than with swipe typing with Gboard (~ 50 wpm) lol. Maybe I'm just more used to using FlorisBoard daily tho
46 WPM 98% accuracy GBoard. I fucked up on the final word lmao
71 wpm @ 91% accuracy with Gboard. Auto correct does some work on it though so ¯(ツ)_/¯
wpm 52 acc 97% with gboard
51 wpm 97% accuracy with BlackBerry Keyboard
Seems a bit bulky to carry around with you everywhere you go. Does it even have Bluetooth or do you need a USB adapter to connect it to your phone?
around 60 wpm with gboard
My speed is garbage whether I just type or use the swipe. Mainly because unlike using an actual keyboard where I can get over 100wpm, I can't really touch type so I have to constantly switch between looking at the keyboard and looking at the text coming up.
40 WPM 100% accuracy , Samsung keyboard
Not on mobile, but I had 93 WPM the other day
Glove80
I had to get a split keyboard to alleviate pain in hands and chest.
Using an old Lite-On SK-1688U. I grew playing text based games (MUDs) and would highly recommend anyone who wants to get better at typing to play some of them in their spare time. They're free in most cases and have different themes/systems of play.
just realized this was for virtual keyboards, so nevermind
