Rookie tips: - use your thumb on the spacebar - use AT LEAST 6 fingers - DO NOT use caps lock for single or few capitalizations - start using CTRL+backspace - get used to DEL - practice the arrow keys - use CTRL+arrow for faster navigation And remember, 80-100WPM is plenty for almost every job.

I already knew touch typing (and even already customized my typing) but the advice on having separate accuracy and speed practice sessions, treating the typing as typing one word at a time rather than one letter, and acknowledging that you are not typing in one pace the whole way through has really helped me. I am aiming to be able to do 100 WPM, or at the very least have a range of 80-100 WPM. Once I am able to do that, I'm satisfied. I am not a competitive typist by any stretch of the imagination, but it feels good to just say that I have that skill. Thank you for helping me get there!

Master mode in monkeytype helped me a lot. It basically fails your test when you make any single key error instantly. Great for developing good habits. I am not a fast typist, but I'm improving.

[@1anubhav]

thanks, i think i was looking for something like master mode. actually, when i started on nitro type, i focused on speed and sacrificed my accuracy for it. this time i am going for accuracy rather than just raw speed

[@FalconFlurry]

I'm honestly not sure that autofail is a good thing. Part of typing is learning how to handle mistakes. You should be able to recognize and correct errors fluidly as you type without losing too much time, but if you have to start over everytime you make a mistake then you have no practice doing that. In fact, it teaches your brain to just stop every time you mess up. The other issue is that I think the fear of losing your progress and having to start over also hinders you. It causes you to stress and when you are stressed you tend to make more mistakes, and you will also start typing slower and more deliberately in an effort to avoid all mistakes. This is just in my experience. When I don't have to worry about errors, typing just becomes a passive thing and I don't really have to focus on it, but when I'm worried about accuracy I tend to focus actively on every key stroke and that slows me down a lot without really improving my accuracy.

[@yourally]

If you take a sentence and practice each word until you can blast thru it the problem is still reducing the time between each word. So I think the solution might be to practice the single sentence to learn how to reduce the time between words. If you cannot go fast in the easiest situation it won't make sense to try to go faster when there are more variables.

I don't even think about the location of letters on the keyboard with this direct link from thoughts to print with seldom thinking even about correct spelling. During the years of the VietNam war with my MOS as a clerk typist, it was astonishing how many officers had never learned how to type and had to rely on someone else doing all the typing for them. It would have been even better if we had laptop computers and word processors back then because there had been a zero tolerance for any typos.

Great video! In the past few months I've been consistently working on and putting a substantial amount of time toward improving my typing. Started at around 80wpm average on typeracer, and after constant practice over the course of about 2 months I'm starting to get alot of quotes in the 120's. Feels amazing to improve at something while having real numbers to document your progress day by day. Something I learned from this video that I can't say I've ever heard before is the "type word by word, not letter by letter" That's something that I kinda did intuitively but I couldn't think of a way to describe it and that fits perfect. I use qwerty and my end goal for typing is to average 140 on typeracer and I think that's an achievable goal given enough time. I wish everyone luck on their one individual journeys! Thanks again for the motivation.

[@NoThisIsJohn]

That is incredible progress, congratulations! Good luck going forward - 140 is some serious speed!

I switched layout 2 years ago from typing with 4-5 fingers on AZERTY (~89wpm, ~85% accuracy) to Dvorak, specifically to learn 10-fingered typing. It took me roughly a year to get back to ~89wpm, but this time with about 95% accuracy. At the moment I'm still around the same speed, but I don't practice nearly as often.

This advice is insane, reading ahead was the best tip I found in here. I went from around 80-90 up to 110-120

[@starmorpheus]

The thing is "reading ahead" isn't exactly a good habit to form when you're someone that wants to type fast regardless of what's in front of you. The point is not to just type fast for the sake of typing fast. It's to improve productivity. Unless you're a scribber, focus more on writing each word at a time. Try creative writing as well.

[@masonv9333]

@@starmorpheus in my experience reading ahead never effected my writing speed but it can be different for everyone

[@jumpvelocity3953]

@@starmorpheus you type faster if you know exactly what to type because you don’t have to process what is given to you, and that is simulated with reading ahead.

[@afrozenpizza]

Thanks for uploading this video. It is very informational. I feel like I'm peaked at the 120 range. I can get spikes of higher rates but and not consistent. Not sure why this video was in my recommended, but it was worth the watch. Switched to an ergo keyboard for work a year ago, and that changed a lot of my habits. Currently making an attempt to get fluent with Dvorak and Colemak, and it was very interesting to see how many of the point you made in the video aligned with things that I'm doing. Started by focusing building memory of the layout, got a decent rate, then started to focus words with the pauses to think about how my hand needs to move to form that word. Awesome typing rate.

Hi John, I came here to say a big thank you for making this video. I'm a slow learner, started off with 50wpm-60wpm and I've been practicing touch typing for a few months now. Today, I finally hit 102wpm as my fastest record in typeracer, and was so taken aback when I had to do the verification. Although I'm still within the 80wpm-90wpm range (70wpm if slow), once in a while I get close to 100wpm and that is a magnificent breakthrough thanks to your video. This is a really honest video without sugar coating people with useless shortcuts; It's really all about practice. I hope you are doing well in your college John.

beginner tips (from a 100-160 WPM typist) : use your left / right thumb to click on the space bar use AT LEAST 6 fingers (more is better) use your left pinky to press on shift (for capitalization) dont use caps lock for 1-5 capitals, use shift instead if a key for example is closer to your left hand dont go out of your way to press on it with your right hand (left hand occupies left half of the keyboard and so on) learn the keyboard layout (touch typing is much easier than occasionally checking on the keyboard to type something)

It doesn’t matter whether or not there is a magic trick that instantly give you 200 wpm speed. People always strive for things that are difficult, and people who have done difficult things stand out. If any average people can do 200 rpm than nobody would care if you get 200rpm, not even you. Everyone would care about people who get 300 rpm.

[@karu6111]

I can already type up to about 130 wpm on monkeytype but the most useful advice that I haven't yet realized that I got from this is the reading ahead of your typing... this is mainly because I noticed that I got really really slow, perhaps painfully slow after long typing sessions like 3 or 2 hours and I haven't known the cause. Now I know that it might be eye fatigue as I have mild blurry vision and astigmatism so maybe my eyes need more effort to stay focused, thus slowing reading after a long while. Thank you for this. But some days are generally shitty... The fun thing about typiung is you can feel it when you're doing good on a particular day, like you're almost floating off the ground lol. The "wait, I haven't made a mistake in 40 seconds and my typing is really consistent..." moments before making an error that would cause you to fail that particular test lol

The problem with typing tests is that you're not exactly typing what's on your mind which can greatly slow you down to a point where it's very frustrating. It's even worse when you're not familiar with the test at all since you basically start out with a crappy score.
