As coders, typewriting is one of the main basis. We rely on the ability to type fast and accurately, since writing is our primary tool for building projects. The faster and more accurately we can type, the smoother our workflow becomes.
In order to enhance my typewriting skills especially the speed and accuracy, i tried many times testing my typing speed. At first, it wasn't fast enough for me because as far as i know, the average to become a fast typewriters we need to reach 60 wpm (words per minute), minimum. However, my first attempt was 57 wpm, it's so close though 😅.
As a matter of fact, many speed typewriters use all their fingers to be a speedster in typewriting. In short, i have been striving to get above 60 wpm and i did it, eventually. Though I reached that speed with only using.. i think eight fingers, i didn't use my pinkies. So i can tell my achievement is not that enormous, therefore I have ambitions to escalate my speed as well as my handy skill to type with all my fingers.
Alright, now it's your turn to check your typewritting speed. Below, there's a tool you could try.
Give it a shot!
Alternative Tools
My tool is not the only one, there are many other tools available for measuring typewriting speed out there, which are probably more advanced than mine. Though, if you'd like to compare your results, you could try the tool I personally use, MonkeyType.Below, this is my current speed with only using eight fingers in MonkeyType.
