I am now typing this on an iPad mini, which is obviously slower than what I am used to... But it has spelling correction and it works pretty good! I do not dare to try the website though...

Got a little better since a few days! I think this typing tutor is really paying off now. I'm at lesson 90. This new record was my first try and done with my netbook on my lap in the library. That shows I have quite a routine with having my fingers at a fixed place on the keyboard.

We have it quite similar to Slovak keyboard in Czech. Which pisses me the most is switched "y" and "z" on eng (respectively cz) keyboard. Who the fuck made it and why?? to torture ppl in non-english countries?

Actually do you guys have it switched too, or is it just us?

edit: oh, just googled it. It is because of Germans - they do not use "y" very much, so they have moved it to less frequent position. And ppl here thought it'll be cool to have keyboard like our western neighboars have...

I'm have mechanical keyboard therefore I can type at approx. 1 billion characters per second faster than you.

Seriously though, still around the 100 wpm with ~98% accuracy.

if madnes used wpm which is the international standard for typing sped insted of character count this result could have counted how and why you might ask its because wpm is defined as cpm/5 including non-letter characters its not actual words per minute as the name might sugest and i noticed that if you divide the char count by 5 in all of these results its always higher than what the wpm field states in the cases where there are one or more erors which means the wpm score probably drops words you misspell so if you use wpm instead theres no reason to exclude results with erors just some thoughts ok

Very nice, luki! I keep making mistakes due to the speed I try to maintain, so I am not getting better lately. I started my typing tutor over again (I was at lesson 94), now doing it all very slowly but in a steady rhythm.

jonsykkel: I want the results to be as accurate as possible. For example, 20 WPM can be 98, 99, 100, 101, 102 CPM, so even slightly different results would be placed in the same position.

The CPM score actually drops the words you misspell as well, it's only shown in the initial unlinkable screenshot though. Either way, I don't see any serious reason to remove the rule of no wrong words...

good point, didnt really consider that. in my onion the benefit of not having to throw away 50% of the attempts just because they made 1 mistake somewhere outweighs the accuracy thing, and if you orkaed you could even work out the wpm decimal points from the cpm by dividing it + making people just post their cpm value instead of pasting screenshots slowing down the page loading, who hasnt noticed that you can just edit the url of the screen to put numbers in there anyway? )D
sorry for being a retard about this, im just very pro-standardisation)

Damn, I tried a bit again, but I cannot get faster than about 375 characters per minute. It starts to hurt really quickly if I try to do faster. I am at lesson 47 in the typing tutor, so almost half through again. Less errors this time! Speed will take much time, I fear. I don't see how you can get so fast without straining, you probably will need to type many many many times before you get that much routine.

I really hate the word 'quickly', always mess that up. And I still have to get used to this new keyboard on the laptop. The backspace button is so far away, compared to my old netbook. :(

Hardest words are those with a sequence of letters for your left hand. "eradicate" is one of them for example - because it's easy to mess up the super coordination required to type with one hand accurately and it either slows you down or you make mistake.
