So, my movements will go left pointing finger, move right pointing finger, middle finger, for the word 'the.' It's slow at first but, over time, you won't need to 'think' about it and your fingers will just move. E is on the resting place of my middle finger. Then H is the left key on my right pointing finger. What do I mean by the sequence? For an easy example - this is on Colemak - for the word 'the', T is on the resting place of my left pointing finger, so I don't need to worry about that. In order to encounter as many words as possible, you need to practice A LOT. It doesn't matter if you're going through it slowly at first because, in time, you will get faster. It also helps if you pay attention to how words are typed on keyboard, the sequence of it, the movements of your fingers. If you're already a touch typist, then all you need to do is practice. You will get much faster if you learn touch typing.
After a few months, I'm averaging 75 WPM.įirst, learn touch typing. I learned how to touch type on the Colemak layout and I started at 20 WPM. I hope that I have helped.Background: I was averaging 70 WPM on QWERTY a few months back and got into the Colemak layout. Tell me if you did not understand something I have said and I will do my best to clarify it. Total words (5 characters = 1 word), divided by number of minutes of the timing, minus 2 for each error = nwpmīut this website forces you to correct your mistakes when you make them so the subtraction of speed when you make a mistake is not in the "calculation" of your WPM.īASICALLY: the actual speed shown is exclusive of errors, if you mean what I believe you mean when you say that. Normally to determine net words a minute: But the site will stop you if you make a mistake, so in a sense the accuracy affects your WPM but not in the way that I think that you mean.
The speed does not factor in the errors, the speed is determined solely by how quickly you type the quote. This creates a significant delay that will slow you down. When you make a mistake you are forced to look down at either your hands or text you are creating instead of the text that you copying. WPM is correlated to accuracy only because if you are more accurate then you will make less mistakes so therefore if you are more accurate then you will type more quickly.
