What's your WPM?

[The Whole F/N Show]

I know a couple of real computer geeks and the are both around 100-110 wpm. But yeah 140? that seems like an obsence speed. 50 is physically possible. The world record is 212 wpm and the record holder can type 150wpm for 50 mins.

100-110... but I drop down to 60-65 if I am transcribing and I want to test out at .00 mistakes.

For me, speed is very relative to accuracy.

100-110 = 4-5 mistakes per 5 min
60-65 = ZERO mistakes per 5 min

Yeah... on a non-standard keyboard of course. She got an "I-Minus" in her typing class on a QWERTY keyboard. I could destroy her on a real keyboard.

I'll have to look into this Dvorak thing, though. If I can type 130-140 max on a QWERTY, I should be able to dominate on a Dvorak in time. Too bad it doesn't support curly braces... hard to program without curly braces. =(
