how i type REALLY fast (190+ WPM)

i know my cable management is terrible
hi friends! i know this video is a bit random, but it'd be a lie if i said typing wasn't my biggest flex and wouldn't take any opportunity to show it off 😎
all jokes aside, i've been wanting to make this video for a looong while! now that i'm home, i decided to have some fun with different vids since i'm unable to make campus vlogs. will still be vlogging midterms at home, but i have so many quarantine vlogs that i probably won't be uploading too many while i'm here ;_; but yea WOO i hope it's helpful. :)

Nice video Jessica. As for games, I played MUDs with friends which is 100% text typing to do anything. Look, run east, hunt, kill, etc. Chatting with random people also was helpful. I like ergonomic keyboards as well to type easier ->faster. From a Microsoft natural keyboard to split keyboards.

[@flacjunkie5553]

I learned how to touch type using keybr. Spending anywhere from 10 to 30mins a day for a consecutive 30 days made a vast improvement. Now muscle memory just kicks in and I don't really remember where the keys are. I specifically like keybr because of the piece by piece way we learn the letters and positioning at a slow pace. People who are intermediate might find the site tedious but for an absolute beginner, its the perfect one that I'd recommend to start on.

Not the fastest typer, but using a computer, and taking typing classes at a very young age definitely set the foundation for my touch typing skills.

[@BlancoWilliams]

Agreed. I was averaging 60 words per minute when I was like 10 years old, which is significantly better than average adults. A few years later, I've improved exponentially. I am able to average 130-140WPM with a high accuracy and a peak of around 170WPM. Time really does help, along with consistency of course.

[@garyinternet5436]

Respect to you Jessica for highlighting the real reason that you type so fast i.e. you have many years (thousands of hours) of typing experience under your belt primarily because you started at a very young age and have been using computers heavily ever since. Typing speed is basically a function of how long someone has been touch typing for. If you only started learning to touch type last week then you're not going to be anywhere near as fast as someone who has been touch typing for 10 years and has been using touch typing intensively both at work and at home for the all that time.

[@Yusuf-sy6rb]

Nah you do not need thousands of hours of experience to type that fast. I have 202 wpm on mt 15s, and learned how to touch type WAY later than her, and guaranteed have been typing for less time total than her. Typing speed, and any other skill in general, is not just a function for how long you've been doing it (or in this specific case, for how long you've been touch typing). You have to actually put effort into improving and doing the type of practice that challenges you. Just doing something for a long time does not necessarily mean you will get significantly better at that thing.

[@garyinternet5436]

​@@Yusuf-sy6rb Two very simple questions. How old are you now? How old were you when you learned to touch type?

[@Yusuf-sy6rb]

@@garyinternet5436 I'm 18 now. I had a typing class when I was 11 but didn't really try at all so I was at around 30wpm back then. I started practicing on typeracer at 13 and was at around 40wpm at that time. My typeracer username is super33, you can see my progression on there if you want (can't post links on youtube comments otherwise they have to be manually approved) Nowadays I don't really practice though, except maybe once in a blue moon. I feel like at this point there isn't really any real world benefit to getting faster.

Could you also give me your user names to your Monkeytype account and to your 10FastFingers account if you have one? I know that Monkeytype only started in May 2020 and so before that, 10FastFingers was the biggest typing site on the internet for typing anything other than quotes. I'm assuming there's a good chance that you also had an account on that site looking at the amount of typing that you did before then on Typeracer.

[@ahmedifhaam7266]

Another type is, well I thought you'd mention it since you play piano but, when practicing, having a rythm, listening to a song, and typing to the beat actually really helps, but i think this only works if you can at least type around 80 wpm for it to be effective, it really helps, give it a try. Your goal is to type out a word or part of a word for each temp and hit spacebar to get to the next.

[@Tonyluo2001]

Reall great advice! I learned typing about 25 years ago, on a typewriter, so I have no problem touch typing. However, I stuck around the 70 WPM range and it fluctuates between 60 to 80. The main problem I have is typos or the nonstop concern of typos. I tend to missing keystrokes or jumping. Like, instead of typing 'letters', I often find myself typing 'ltetters', hence slowing down myself.

[@Theckonestroh]

Well it's not 190 wpm. Have to type for 30 minutes and every possible combonation. She is high 90 maybe 100 words a minute with no punctuation in those words. Lol, you guys fall for this... Now we have lowered keys in the 90's which means there is less time of picking up fingers and key stroke distance. Beyond that I think once seen a woman that could type 120 wpm and would make 85 % no mistakes. Worked for a oil company. That keyboard on her computer she said had to replaced about every 2 to 3 months keys would give out.

​@@Theckonestroh I don't understand what your point is? she hovers around 140-150 on TypeRacer which uses punctuationand real world practical scenarios. How is that score invalidated? The MonkeyType score I agree is a little inflated just because of the easy words and lack of punctuation, but overall her typing speed is well past 100.

[@davidg.3617]

@@cunly6399I actually kind of agree with the guy above us, she probably types this fast with words she knows but if you add random words she’s never typed with punctuation and caps, I bet it probably is barely 100 wpm. Which btw is already better than most people; so no hate here, just saying.

[@SuwandyChandraTjin]

I just came across your video today :) Kudos on reaching such strong typing speed and accuracy. Have you thought about possibly learning to use Dvorak keyboard which might elevate your typing speed to whole new level? :)

[@Whatthetrash]

I really wish I was faster at typing. I still look at the keyboard now and again when I type. I agree touch typing is the key, but it feels SO MUCH SLOWER when you can just glance down and see where to put your fingers. I've tried several times but never stuck with it enough to stick through that slower period until it is faster and better on the other side. Very cool video. :)

[@swarnimghimire9764]

Honestly a big thing that I would really reccoment beginner to not do is develop a habit of using the wrong finger for the wrong key because that can lead to some pretty major speed hurdles down the read if you're not resolute in what finger you use for what key of if you use different fingers per the occasion. Consistency is really important once you reach higehr levels because at some point you wouldnt want to swtich back and learn it the right way again.

[@leecm]

I became proficient at typing by playing lots of Starcraft:Brood War in high school. Yes, I had computer class in elementary and middle school, but I don't remember caring about those classes enough at the time to really learn anything useful in them. Starcraft was a great teaching aid because 1) you have to remember all of the hotkeys to be decent at the game, and 2) you had to chat with teammates very quickly and frequently during games (or your opponent to talk smack). Fast forward 20+ years, and I sincerely think that Brood War played at least a small role in me having what ended up becoming a successful IT career. Just being able to type proficiently makes you look like you know what you're doing with computers, which is important for a young adult trying to make their way in a new career. Who knew that all of those hours that Starcraft stole from my teenage life would have ended up paying off. Thanks, Blizzard!

[@kowshiksri]

[@nil70n]

Nice video! I wanted to improve my typing speed and moving to a split keyboard with a small amount of keys (my actual has 36) helped a lot. I used monkeytype and got faster than with my old keyboard in a week. I'm adding this because I think you can have a lot of fun with this experience, and I would love to know how someone that types twice as fast than me feels doing it. Let me know what you think, I can give you some guidance or help with the keyboard mapping if you want to try.

[@akito4105]

Before learning to touch type I was around 50 wpm average while looking at the keyboard occasionally. But now that I know how to touch type my top speed is 115 wpm and my average is 75wpm with the monkeytype settings of english 10k and punctuation. I've only been practicing for about 4-5 months inconsistently.

[@hcm9999]

What fingers to use to press Ctrl+C? I am trying to force myself to use my left pinky for the Ctrl and left forefinger for the C (and S, X, V and F). But my pinky can become sore after a while. Sometimes for Ctrl+S I may use my left thumb for the Ctrl and left forefinger for S. Maybe there is a better way to press Ctrl+C? If I am lazy I may use my left forefinger for Ctrl and my right forefinger for the rest, but that is definitely not efficient. My keyboard has another Ctrl button on the rigt side. Maybe I should use my right hand for the Ctrl and left hand for the other buttons.

[@444chroma]

Thanks Jessica that is a good advice. I learned to touch type about 10 years ago but have plateaued at 120wpm. Sometimes I wonder if a split space bar would help me

[@chidinmapreciousokechukwu8566]

im not fast, but I hang around this hobby a little bit (im not dedicated and im more focused on fun with layouts) - it's great to hear from someone who is actually fast! also wanted to point out that monkeytype can train punctuation and harder words - if you have an account you can even make a default typing profile also for anyone like me who likes typing as a hobby, unless you go deep into customs (seems like muscle memory is king, so not reccomended for the fastest speeds), it seems like you have to let go of 'proper typing'. it just seems to be worse than whatever you naturally come up with

[@scientist100]

She is right about the memory thing, not sure how that works but it just does once you practice over and over. Just know that those keys are there and watch your words as you type. Most of the time I just know when I made a mistake and automatically backspace without looking, when I'm not sure I just backspace the amount where I think I made a mistake and then start from there again, though if you try to think what you're trying to type, you actually take a pause, instead try to type and see what happens.

[@RobG1729]

Have you tried typing with an alternate keyboard layout like Dvorak? The QWERTY layout was intended to keep frequent letters far apart to keep typewriters from getting jammed.

hello there, I found this video through yt recommendations and this was a good one mainly because this made me aware of keybr. I have a question, though: about hand positioning, I don't remember when this began but over the years, the more my typing speed improved, the less fingers I end up using, and now I'm sitting at ~170 raw (consistent average is in the 130~140's) with only 7 fingers. I've been stuck at these ranges for so long now and I'm looking to gradually improve them again for future instances. Should I start over from the basics to get my vacant fingers to work up to speed, or do I just continue typing in my current fashion and hope that my active fingers would somehow get past this current plateau? I can try recording a video of my hands while typing if needed. Thanks in advance the typing platforms I have used extensively (and am still using), albeit not routinely, are Monkeytype, 10fastfingers, Typeracer, Typer Shark Deluxe, and Typing of the Dead 1 & 2 (not the Overkill edition on Steam).

[@taintly7010]

Should I learn how to touch type correctly? I can type perfectly fine without looking at the keyboard, my only problem is that my hands are not positioned on the keyboard properly. My hands are kind of small, so it is hard for me to reach the backspace sometimes, so my right hand is usually positioned closer to the enter and backspace keys. Is there a way to make it easier to hit the backspace button?

[@albertzhouu]

One suggestion I have for people learning to type is to use NitroType. I'm not as fast as you but I average about 140wpm on Nitrotype and a best of 175. It's probably faster if I went on monkey type as there are no capital letters or punctuation. One of the ways I got really good at typing fast was using nitrotype as it was more fun and I had more motivation to play the game. However, I think typing with a purpose when playing the game is really important as I play to type faster, not get more races. I know a lot of people who play the game have much more races than me(I have 17k) but type significantly slower. This is probably because they either aren't trying to type fast during their races or aren't focusing on their accuracy. Sorry for the long read but I thought I'd share my 2 cents about a skill I'm also rather good at.

[@sixtysevensixtysix3543]

I've been gaming on PC for like 25 years now and touch typing for at least 20 of them probably but I never got really fast at typing, I think I average like 70-80. I think I never used "proper" hand placement and my muscle memory is way to ingrained now that I can't change it up.

@@pom001 my best result yet is 210 wpm, typically get 190 without tryharding. I use qwerty. Anyways, I knew a guy who switched to dvorak from qwerty and got pretty decent results after that. Personally, I think he would have got the same ones on qwerty if he had trained as hard as after this switch.

[@AR-rg2en]

How did you manage to break the 120 WPM barrier? What is your thinking when typing the words? How do you coordinate or position your hands? And how do you move them?

[@AR-rg2en]

@@whatthepeople Same question I have from you if you don't mind

[@whatthepeople]

@@AR-rg2en if you can get 120 WPM, your thinking, coordinating and positioning already aren't that bad per se, otherwise you wouldn't get such results. You can achieve, like, 150 WPM and be consistent enough. Thus, just have patience and practise with no changes. If you want to go further, yeah, it's not that easy then. You need to parse words and place your fingers accordingly. For example, a word 'accepted'. I'd hold the left little finger on 'a', the left index finger on 'c', the left middle finger on 'e', the right little finger on 'p', and the right index finger on 't'. I'd press 'a', 'c' (twice), and 'e' without an extra delay, then I'd do the same with 'p' and 't', then return to 'e' and 'd' to finish the word. My typing of this word wouldn't seem like I thoughtfully typed letter by letter; it would seem like I typed 'acce', 'pt', and 'ed' parts almost instantly. Another example would be a word 'hello'. I'd hold the left index finger on 'h', the left middle finger on 'e', the right index finger on 'l', and the right middle finger on 'o'. I'd press 'h', 'e', 'l', and 'o' very quickly. Most of the short words can be typed using this technique without splitting on 2 or more parts (like 'god', 'one', 'help', 'may', 'give'). Many of the words can be split on 2 or 3 parts and be typed fast. Others are obstacles, but they're pretty rare in common dictionaries which sites like Monkeytype use.

[@williambreeze2659]

[@carlblim]

For me it was Starcraft and a bit of piano experience. Averaging 125wpm. I feel to get to 150 and above you really need to lessen the finger air time and sorta just have them glide through the keyboard.

I joined 100 WPM club recently, I can type 110PM in monkeytype at 15seconds, and 96 to 100WPM for 30 sec test.. This video really motivated me to type fast.

I have been researching for a video about microtransations so the wildest part of this video is that you played MapleStory and can still afford a nice keeb. But on a serious note, that is a wild typing speed. I'm awful. I touch type but I generally only us like 4 fingers. The army taught me to touch type to take messages and then I got lazy or something. Not sure when I lost it but it was a surpise when I looked down once and saw how terrible my technique is. I'd love to know what keyboard/swicthes you're using.

Do you use vim(or similar editor with vim mode)? It just so cool!

Anytip for typing the wrong order...like when i type "this" most of the time it comes out "thsi" which is really frustrating. Like my key press is right but the timing is off. How to improve this?

[@hishiko]

what keyboard do you use? this is really cool :D

I never learned to touch type properly to be honest. I don't place my fingers on the home keys, and I think it is making me plateu? The max I can go without grammar is like 110 at this point, and with grammar I average around 80-90. Do you think I should unlearn how I type now and learn to place my fingers on the home keys? Also, what fingers do you use to hit the "t," "y," quotation mark, and semi-colon keys?

I learned to type from maplestory and runescape. Loved zytype but weird question, did you ever have a computer class where you played that spongebob typing game? That motivated me the most to improve my wpm

[@geegee5970]

also it was hard to pay attention to the video bc of the nostalgia once i noticed the bgm you used :')

[@noctambule9032]

“I’ve spent an hour yesterday trying to hit 190” Gotta love the honesty. Instead of giving off the impression that 190 is a typical thing to achieve.
