What is your typing speed?

Hi Joram, I learned typing 50 years ago. I joined a typing institute just for a month. At the end of the month, I found that my speed is already 30 wpm. I did not complete the course because I never wanted to make typing my career. Since I had a flair for writing, I made a good use of it. Until nineties, I used typewriter extensively and then computers came. I have been using the keyboard, ever since, at least for 2 or 3 hours every day. I have not assessed my speed but I suppose it must be well over 60 wpm. I would like to know more about the transcriptions jobs your doing. I have already sent you a friendship request. Thanks.

100 wpm.

my typing speed varies on the typing test software. sometimes i rate lower than 60wpm sometimes its as high as 75.. but on average, it's on 65wpm mark with 98% accuracy. that's alphanumeric. i thinks that's the benefit of learning typing from the very basic... with the use of typewriter.

Being a tech support help desk representative, my job has trained me to be at least 60 WPM with high accuracy. I am not a touch typist, I still look at the keyboard, and i don't use all my fingers. My hands literally fly over the keyboard so I can reach the corner letters. I tried typing programs that will help me speed up by learning touch typing, but I can't. My fingers were too stubborn to unlearn my own way of typing!

Hello, my first job was data encoder, before I my typing speed was 35-40 wpm, now 45-50 wpm.

Its good to use the default hand placement, as pecking at keys is a slow way of typing. I may peck at keys sometimes, but that's because I'm sick/mad/sad. Im also a grammar fanatic, so that decreases it by a lot.
