This is a video that a lot of people have asked for. I think that there's a lack of good video tutorials so hopefully this helps some people out. There's not really a ton to be said about improvement in typing, as 99% of it is just practice. Ok now here's a ton of links:

  • I just wanted to express my gratitude to you and your advice. I went from barely being able to reach 70 WPM to being able to comfortably do between 70-90 WPM in just a few weeks of practice. I already knew touch typing (and even already customized my typing) but the advice on having separate accuracy and speed practice sessions, treating the typing as typing one word at a time rather than one letter, and acknowledging that you are not typing in one pace the whole way through has really helped me. I am aiming to be able to do 100 WPM, or at the very least have a range of 80-100 WPM. Once I am able to do that, I'm satisfied. I am not a competitive typist by any stretch of the imagination, but it feels good to just say that I have that skill. Thank you for helping me get there!

  • Rookie tips: - use your thumb on the spacebar - use AT LEAST 6 fingers - DO NOT use caps lock for single or few capitalizations - start using CTRL+backspace - get used to DEL - practice the arrow keys - use CTRL+arrow for faster navigation And remember, 80-100WPM is plenty for almost every job. Typing fast is a fun skill though. Don't hurt your hands:)

Not sure why this video was in my recommended, but it was worth the watch. Switched to an ergo keyboard for work a year ago, and that changed a lot of my habits. Currently making an attempt to get fluent with Dvorak and Colemak, and it was very interesting to see how many of the point you made in the video aligned with things that I'm doing. Started by focusing building memory of the layout, got a decent rate, then started to focus words with the pauses to think about how my hand needs to move to form that word. Awesome typing rate.

    • If you take a sentence and practice each word until you can blast thru it the problem is still reducing the time between each word. So I think the solution might be to practice the single sentence to learn how to reduce the time between words. If you cannot go fast in the easiest situation it won't make sense to try to go faster when there are more variables.

    • I'm honestly not sure that autofail is a good thing. Part of typing is learning how to handle mistakes. You should be able to recognize and correct errors fluidly as you type without losing too much time, but if you have to start over everytime you make a mistake then you have no practice doing that. In fact, it teaches your brain to just stop every time you mess up. The other issue is that I think the fear of losing your progress and having to start over also hinders you. It causes you to stress and when you are stressed you tend to make more mistakes, and you will also start typing slower and more deliberately in an effort to avoid all mistakes. This is just in my experience. When I don't have to worry about errors, typing just becomes a passive thing and I don't really have to focus on it, but when I'm worried about accuracy I tend to focus actively on every key stroke and that slows me down a lot without really improving my accuracy.

  • Back in the 1960's, my typing practice text was: the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. that's every letter in the alphabet and is how they taught us in a high school typing class from a home position and without looking at the keyboard. I don't even think about the location of letters on the keyboard with this direct link from thoughts to print with seldom thinking even about correct spelling. During the years of the VietNam war with my MOS as a clerk typist, it was astonishing how many officers had never learned how to type and had to rely on someone else doing all the typing for them. It would have been even better if we had laptop computers and word processors back then because there had been a zero tolerance for any typos.

Today, I finally hit 102wpm as my fastest record in typeracer, and was so taken aback when I had to do the verification. Although I'm still within the 80wpm-90wpm range (70wpm if slow), once in a while I get close to 100wpm and that is a magnificent breakthrough thanks to your video. This is a really honest video without sugar coating people with useless shortcuts; It's really all about practice. I hope you are doing well in your college John.
