But not on my computer but for my tablet. So it's more difficult as I would only need to use two fingers to do the test. As the test is actually a program for the tablet. So I would have an online competition with another person who is also using a tablet. So sometimes it would take time before the game starts as you have to wait for someone to play the game with
Oh well its not fun at all. I was just hoping I would be able to practice my typing speed better. But I think it's not that helpful though.

I just try typing in keyboard the old typing style. On touch screen My fingers just don't fit the key icons that it provides and its just a lot of pain too for my hands. By the way I have about 45 wpm in keyboard so why I move to touchpad I would just hit keys in my keyboard and try to increse it more by just typing like these over here.

Hello hotsummer,
It might be a bit difficult taking a typing speed test on a tablet. I have a tablet and whenever I try to type fast I end up pressing other keys because tablets keys are small. I think your best bet would be trying this on a computer.

It's quite frustrating oftentimes specially on a tablet. As the words won't appear fast or get freeze or lag so making typing much more difficult during times my tablet would often freeze.

I don't "Type" that well on my own tablet. I use a "Stylus" (and by that I mean a golf tee becuase my stylus broke) and it can be difficult to get the QWERTY keyboard to work that fast. I've never seen a typing speed game but it sounds like it'd be fun, atleast for me.

Stylus is nice but mine only responds to touch. I tried using some pointed things that won't scratch the screen though. It won't respond to the pressure so stylus isn't going to be useful on my tablet.
It's a bit fun also but just too time consuming so I just gave up on the game. As it would take a lot of time so I can complete the sentence.

Wow online competition. I do always compare my typing speed with my classmates. Knowing that we are computer engineers, who always use our computer. We always just compete with each other who has the best typing skills just for fun. Using a tablet its really hard to type very fast. But with touchscreen smartphones, Im already use to touch typing very fast, but still its not comparable on how type very fast on computer.

It's not so hard indeed with the smartphone than on the tablet. But it's also great to the on the tablet when I am not able to use the laptop. Specially I'm not in a hurry to post just take it a challenge if I can post fast on my tablet.

At first I was slow at typing but latter when I spent more time in front of computer the typing speed gradually increased. This means practices can help you to do them faster as possible. Try to spent some good time in front of tablet for typing. It will help you.

But it hurts my hands when I post too long on the keyboard that's why I'm trying to learn how to post fast on the touchscreen. So I hope that I would be able to be more comfortable on the touchscreen keyboard.
