I’m curious: how’s your typing?

[Th3ft]

I’m also curious who is fast between the guys and girls but typing is so cool in my perspective

Even if it is just in a Lego typewriter…

I only type with my two index fingers

I can type by I am pretty slow…

I type for work so I’m a lot faster then I used to be but I’m still pretty slow

I type for work and I’m pretty quick.

[WindAtMyBack]

I'm not as fast as I used to be. In the past, if I already knew exactly what I wanted to type, I could burst type very fast ( probably over 100 wpm ). I could not keep that up for more than a couple of sentences or so.

Now I'm a lot slower. Mouses ruin typing ability. For a long time I didn't use the mouse much. Like at work I always set up a lot of hot keys and macros ( using similar programs to AutoHotKey ). So my hands were usually on the keyboard and it was directly in front of me. Now I have one hand on the mouse most of the time, and the keyboard is offset so that the mouse is not off to the side so much. That really slows down typing.

[MCheetah]

I can type 120 words per minute. And no, I don't look down at the keyboard, either. I just have a lot of practice typing from being a hobbyist writer. I'm willing to bet I'm the fastest typer on GAG. Unless someone is a courtroom stenographer or something.

Who's the big-boobed redhead?

[Th3ft]

Yeah I would say so! I mean you dwarf everyone else who has commented but obviously this does not represent the full community.
And her name is @quirarose. She is one of my favorite insta models

[MCheetah]

Thanks for the name for @qira. rose.

[Th3ft]

Yeah man! Enjoy!

[Sour-rose]

Soooo i used to do fanfiction back in the day and I did...10 of them? And I surprised the other boys in high school when I speeded past a level they were stuck on and I was doing as practice. So yeah, I type very quick... may drop some words buuut I'm good at typin'

[LostGirl9]

I type really fast without looking with all of my fingers lol when I was a kid my dad had me write letters for him since at the time he didn’t really speak Italian well (that’s were we live now) so I’m used to it

[Th3ft]

Cool! So you translated and typed while you were learning? Geese!

[LostGirl9]

I didn’t translate per se, I arrived here when I was really small so I learned the language quickly and since my parents only speak Spanish at home it was really easy to become bilingual, when you’re bilingual your brain automatically knows what the other person is saying so for me it was like he was just dictating what I had to write, the hard part was the typing lol

[Th3ft]

Oh cool!

[Th3ft]

I always wished I was bilingual!

[LostGirl9]

You could still learn, it’s true that the younger you are the easier it is, but it’s never too late 🤷🏼‍♀️ little advice, YouTube and Netflix help a lot, they were more helpful than any teacher I’ve ever had

[Th3ft]

Oh good call! Thanks!

[FunkyMonkee]

Pretty damned good, coonsidering I only use one hand but I'd be doing a LOT better iif I had a keyboard that didn't makke so god damned many typos!! It might ttake me 5;00 to write a pparagraph and anoother 5 to correct all the mistakes!! I lleft all the mistakes in as an example. Notice all the double letters and the spots where the shift key didn't work? (I'm amazed I actually got a "?" at the end of that!! 99% oof the time, I gget "/".)

[AviatorTom]

I only type with my two index fingers, but I'm pretty quick. At work, we were tested once, and I came in with 75 words per minute, with less than 10% errors.

[Th3ft]

Wow! That is pretty cool!

[sheikalana]

When I was in high school we had typing lessons and I was the fastest one. We had to use all the fingers. I usually type with my index, middle finger and thumbs.

[Th3ft]

That sounds talented. How did you switch from typing full hand to only using the three fingers?

[sheikalana]

I've always used only three fingers to type. I was using all fingers only during classes. It's a useless skill though.

[Th3ft]

Well it has become less useful. I would t call it useless yet though.

[whereismyjohnny]

I’m pretty fast at it and type with all my fingers.

[Th3ft]

Nice! How many words can you pout out?

[whereismyjohnny]

A lot actually 😅 I had typing lessons in high school, and I remember that my score was always high when we would do these typing exercises.

[DizzyDesii]

Awful because i have to backspace a lot... but i get the job done

[Th3ft]

Yes same! I’m always back spacing because I think I know where a letter is and then the wrong thing comes up on screen…

[Th3ft]

Do you do a lot of typing in your job or is that more clicking your mouse?

[DizzyDesii]

My second and current job were mostly typing

[Th3ft]

Oh nice! What was your second job?

[DizzyDesii]

Dept of Ed

[Th3ft]

Oh cool! As like a secretary or something? Lol!

[DizzyDesii]

Financial advisor

[Th3ft]

Oh geese! Of course! Lol!

[sage2021]

I can type very fast using all of my fingers. Let's just say one time an engineer came out of his office to see who it was that was typing so fast; it was me. He commented that my keyboard was smokin'.

[Blackcosmo]

I've been typing for a few years now and have gotten pretty fast.

[Th3ft]

Nice! How fast do you think you can type? I am in awe of you by the way! Lol! I never figured it out…

[Blackcosmo]

I think almost as fast as someone talking at an average speed.
Oh thank you lol

[Th3ft]

Yeah no! I can’t even process words that quickly… lol! You are awesome!

[Blackcosmo]

Aww thanks! You too!

[AsaKyo]

I type really, really fast and it's not for work

[Th3ft]

Like how fast we talkin? 😜🤓

[bolverk]

I can 'touch type', but my fat fingers keep buggering it up thre tryping.

[Th3ft]

No I get that! Fat fingers are the worst! I have that issues a lot with my phone when texting.

[duttyjamagyal]

I've been able to type about 60 wpm since I was like 13

[Th3ft]

Wow! Well done!

[duttyjamagyal]

Thanks

[duttyjamagyal]

Also ya I only type with my two index fingers

[duttyjamagyal]

Or pointer fingers or something I don't know

[Th3ft]

Same thing… but really? You pout that many words out with toe fingers?

[duttyjamagyal]

I def stretch out my pinky every now and again

[duttyjamagyal]

But yeah I didn't learn the typical way of typing, I was just on the phone and computer a lot and I ended up being able to type fast... Two fingers 🤌

[Th3ft]

Lol! That is fair!! That is pretty cool though!

[duttyjamagyal]

Tanks man 🙂

[Th3ft]

Well thank you for your cool answer!!

[Apulu_Imback]

I'm pretty quick in laptop and computer. I'm the most slowest in tab. I type with index fingers plus thumb on tab and on phone I type with my thumbs. I'm fast in laptops, computers and phones.

[Autember]

I can type without looking at the keyboard at a decent pace. I make a fair amount of mistakes but not enough to bother me. I don't use the "correct method" of typing, but I get by pretty well.

[menina]

I think I'm pretty good at typing but I can always get better. I became faster throughout the years.

[Libertycityguy]

I can type and not for work either. I took a bunch of typing courses in high school cause that's where the girls were... lol. On the old IBM electric typewriters. Had to have my own correction tape too

[blondfrog]

Depends what I am typing on. But on pc keyboard I am pretty fast. Like 70-95 words per minute.

[Snsl153]

I'm a touch-typist. I've got the fastest fingers in the West. :)

[MTC29]

I can type. Give me an IBM Selectric and watch me go!

[mandyfire98]

The old hunt and peck routine is what I use.

[Th3ft]

Lol! My too mostly! A couple days ago my supervisor had me stay a few minutes after work to log on to a new program we are using company wide. He literally kicked me off almost as soon as I sat down so he could do the pasward for me because it was apparently something that everyone struggled with.

[mandyfire98]

Yeah I could never get home row down pat.

[Th3ft]

Home row? Do you mean home room? And yeah I mean I was actually home schooled but I was a horrible student and I didn’t actually practice writing or typing until I was an adult.

[mandyfire98]

Home row is the set of keys on the keyboard where you are supposed to start your fingers. The middle row

[Th3ft]

Oh! Lol! See yeah not a clue! Lol! But yeah I mean I figured out the basic eight but then all the rest flook me up all the time.

[JosyJosy]

Pretty quick and proud. But my answers here are pretty short still, pretty pathetic

[MrDerp]

Just did a typing test and found out I write 65 words per minute with 99% accuracy.
