SDMB Typing Speed Contest.

74 wpm; 7 mistakes–2 times! Damn it, my error rate is going up; I blame autocorrect and spell-check, not my shitty finger coordination.

Also, I always want to edit text as I’m typing and both of my samples made my inner editor scream. A couple of my errors were for things I “corrected”. :smack:

48 wpm, 4 mistakes. The mistakes were all due to the sticky space bar on my laptop keyboard. I’d be curious to try it on a standard keyboard, I’ve always had a bit of a hard time with the tiny size of the lappy.

Huh. Something must be wrong.

It said 83wpm, 97 mistakes. Rereading what I typed:

I see only one or two errors, depending on how you count it. (Two errors in one word.) WTF?

42 wpm, 7 mistakes. Most mistakes were from not capitalising and I got one mistake because I put a full stop (period for you lot) at the end of the paragraph.

Hah! I beat you! :slight_smile:

Your speed was: 9339wpm.

Congratulations! You made no mistakes, practice does make perfect.
After editing the test in notepad then copying it, I clicked start then ctrl-v then stop so was able to stop the test faster.
