It's awesome that you worked so hard at this! I think part of what held you back was switching back and forth between different keyboards--consistency really helps even if you've been typing a long time. My oldest son learned "keyboarding" in fourth grade which I think was a superb idea. Unfortunately we moved and my youngest son is in sixth grade and he hasn't learned yet. I may have to teach him (and my husband) with this website! Thanks! I'm a pro writer and I'm currently working on accuracy so I have fewer typos to correct in my manuscripts.

Nice video! I actually recommend practicing this every day, it really helps me. I practice mostly every day, and can type and maintain an average of above 100 easily, with a normal average of about 120-155 WPM depending on what I am typing. This took years of practice to get, but it allows me to absolutely blow through essays and reports compared to when I used to type about 30-ish WPM.

06:50 - there are mechanical reason for why we got stuck with QWERTY. initially the pioneers of typewriting were looking at layouts that'd group frequently used letters together. What they ended up with were typewriters that constantly got stuck because the arms to which the letters where attached blocked one another. so they were looking for a layout that would allow the letter arms to return to the starting position without other arms getting in the way. they came up with QWERTY and by time the mechanics weren't a problem anymore, QWERTY was already established and no one was keen to learn a potentially more efficient layout.

Yes, I enjoyed watching it; thank you for sharing it with us.

Your key layout is similar to what we have in the German layout. I always find it a bit frustrating for coding compared to US. For example modifiers needed for ;:= [ ] or >< on a single key, / on the number 7. Great video. Really enjoyed your journey. I feel connected since it’s something I also do. I think many people have a a similar experience with typing even in tech. I know programmers that still use only two fingers

2:21 As a computer programmer. I have to disagree. I code as slow as molasses. Not because of slow typing speed as I can go 104wpm. But rather because programming doesn't require you to type fast. You really use more brains when coding, rather than just dashing through. Fast typing speed helps but most of the time I'd code at around 40 - 60 wpm to avoid errors like misplaced ' ; ' and whatnot. I think a fast wpm would be for typing jobs such as journalist, writers, and online bloggers. That's what I feel. (sorry bad English not my first language.)

He said what he did there. He was joking about programmer perceived as fast typer as in movies.

Fun fact about QWERTY keyboard I read/heard some time ago: As you said they put commonly used keys apart from each other, but there is another very important reason for it. It was designed for typewriters and if you've used an old school type writer before , when typing fast the hammers that put ink to paper tend to collide and get stuck midway. If the keys are next to each other, hammers are too. So their paths overlap most of the way to the paper, making them collide much easier. So let's say if you are writing "red" you'd have to wait for hammer to come back for every letter. When the letters are apart; hammers come from angle and only crossover is right at the end where it punches the paper, leaving it much wider leeway to clickety clicking.

I aspire to do this challenge because I will be starting my freshman year of college this fall and it would be amazing if I could pick up this skill.

I hope I can reply to this comment in 30 days with progress!

Thanks for sharing your journey on this..it's my first day doing the touch typing..because like u i wanted to type without looking on the keyboard..it's hard but practice makes perfect🙂👌 it's really a game changer when u use all your fingers, it's very efficient compared using your hands crossing all over the keyboard 😆

When you learn how to touch type, it becomes so addicting. I've spent time before starting a project "warming up" by doing a typing test. After I've finished it's usually so late that there's no point in starting the project.

For example if you were typing a word that had “E-C” in it, you would use your left middle finger to type the E, right? But C is also in the same column of keys that E is in, thus meaning you should use your left middle finger. However they are saying that rather than put their left middle finger back down to C (in this example) they would use another finger that is simply closer. A good substitute in this example would be your left pointer finger since it’s the closest finger to C that isn’t your middle finger. Hope that helped

For all those reading this comment note i started at 8 wpm it took me about 3 months to get to this speed but consistency and accuracy still faltered sometimes but if you commit all it takes is just some boring moments of your day to accomplish this.

I agree with kalle, typing gets addicting at some point and you can't stop it.

Is this my first, “why aren’t they teaching this to kids anymore” moment? Seems like it’s more and more important nowadays.

@@kalecardenas9645 I know they taught it when I was in school, but I think it's something that's changed relatively recently. My mom was a touch typer for the newspaper. I also had a librarian that I liked who typed faster than anyone else I'd ever seen. So I modeled myself after them. (It also helped that I hated writing with a pencil--it made my skin crawl. I wanted a way to write without having to use a pencil very badly!). I *DID* have official lessons in touch typing, but I mainly learned to type while talking to my friends on AIM. I would force myself to hold my hands in the home row and would type as much as I could without looking at the keys. I think that's the most important part: Force yourself to hold your hands in the home row, look down to type initially and force yourself to use your pinky and ring finger. The buttons for your index and middle fingers come rather naturally.

2:20 As a programmer I can't disagree more. To be a good programmer you need to know what you are doing and avoid bad code. Writing speed has nothing to do with being a good programmer. It's like saying that to be a good bus driver you have to be able to drive 200 km/h or to be a good surgeon you have to be able to cut patient open and close him/her as fast as possible. Quality over speed.

Touch typing and just typing correctly is something I’m glad I took the time to learn regardless of how frustrating it was. I practiced like crazy in the beginning to go from 30 wpm to 76 wpm. It’s something that you must keep practicing on a daily basis. Even if it’s for 5 minutes. Glad you got to learn how to do it. It really is a life changer. Great video! Definitely keeps me inspired to get better.

I'm literally addicted to typing man I just can't stop practising and it is kinda fascinating

okay so I started this yesterday bc of this video, and it's so easy to get into the routine of practising it everyday bc it's so addictive 👍

Same! Finished Computer Science without learning how to type properly. Now I'm on my 11th day of practicing the right way on monkeytype

Some tips you guys may need before wanting to type fast is - Touch typing : the ability to type without looking at the keyboard which is typing using your muscle memory. - Accuracy : Accuracy matters more then speed and, accuracy gives you more wpm if you didn’t know. Being consistent when it comes to accuracy can be really beneficial when doing some productivity for work. - Type short phrases or paragraphs : Typing really big text is not really helpful as, it only improves your stamina and, not speed because, the words in there may be big and, you may not have enough stamina to type fast long enough. Short phrases or paragraphs can quickly build up speed by doing quick starts (early fast jumps in words) and, do fast typing without draining all your stamina at the same time of messing up a lot. - It’s better to start practicing until you reached 95% accuracy or higher in your average speeds then try to speed up. Trying to speed up early is like forcing your horse to go faster without even watching for the curves or jumps during a race. - Play video games as funny as it sounds it’s very beneficial. As for me I learned most of the keys in my keyboard without looking by video games. Video games can give you a pre-mature feeling of touch typing. Even though you most likely will not use the whole keyboard layout for gaming as such in key binds or settings and etc it may help you remember some keys for finger coordination and, touch typing.(Note: doing this may get you more into 3-4 finger typing like me which can be a huge drawback compared to a 10 finger speed. As it’s possible to type 120wpm using 3-4 fingers and, 90 wpm average which is me You can barley get any faster then a average experienced 10 finger typers). Use websites that do automatically generated text or, typing courses for free such as ratatype.com it may do repetitions of text but, it’s just for finger stamina , consistency and, muscle memory. It tells you where the fingers would be placed when typing and, it also offers you to type pieces of coding too. That’s all I may know or remember, but I only type with 3-4 fingers so, people who are looking to type fast with 10 fingers or wanting to type with 10 fingers I can’t help a lot when you ask questions about that. I only know a lot of 3-4 finger typing techniques and, ideas.

This is quite an interesting video. Most of the places I have worked at, the minimum was 60wpm which I usually averaged about 80wpm and through that was average in general. I know some dont type as fast but I didnt consider tech or computer peeps to not average at 60-90. This video was a little eye opening regarding coding speeds. The ideology of coders is that they type quick and can make applications fast but this kind of breaks that it seems. Interesting really. Awesome work.

Thank You Very Much Kalle, You made my fingers fly... Improved to 70 WPM from 10 WPM... 100% Recommended for beginners, Cheers ❤

Congratulations. That's great. The older I get, the more I appreciate my junior high school typing class. It was on typewriters. I do coding as a hobby and to learn more. But, my main job isn't coding. In fact, whenever my coworkers see me type, I've gotten a few stares or questions. I only type 65WPM. I'd like to get faster. But, I haven't been able to do it yet.

This video is where it all started for me. I typed for many years with my index fingers and maybe had 25-30wpm. Now I’m at about 75 and never need to look anymore which is so nice. Just saw this vid pop up and wanted to comment because this method was effective!

Glad I learned this in grade school, probably one of the more useful things I got out of school.

Dude, typing is so addictive I'm on my own personal journey rn. I went from looking at the keyboard to 30ish wpm in a week without looking.

bro you are better than me on your first day of typing

I was in exactly same boat as you about 2 months ago. Same idea, found keybr.com and learned how to touch type through it while working from home due to covid. 2 suggestions for using keybr. 1. Download an eBook, go to settings, and pick typing own text option. Paste in the field, first chapter from the book. Once you complete the chapter, replace it with the next one and so on. Downside of this, is that keybr does not remember where in the book you stopped, so chapter by chapter is the best approach I could come up with. Benefit of this, is that it will allow for using upper case letters as well as all standard symbols used in text, with the standard frequency of those coming up in the text. If you choose option in keybr exercise, it just spams upper case and symbols with every word, which I personally find unrealistic and annoying, and uncomfortable for hand movements since signs are placed rather awkwardly. 2. In the settings you can extend the length of the text in standard keybr exercises. It will help to build up some dexterity and show how good or bad you really are. I've been doing exercises at full length for a long while now. My max was 69WPM. After I watched your video I switched back to the minimum length of the text and I hit 75WPM at the first try. I find that short text gives you fall sense of confidence. In longer exercise you will be making more mistakes and you will be slower. But in the end of the day, you will be typing much more than 25 words at a time in real life. Keep practicing! I am so addicted to this I can't stop for hours sometimes once I start haha

Brother I started touch typing immediately after you posted this video and I am really glad you did because I can type now more effectively than before without looking at the keyboard and it's really helping me for my analytical writing test. Thank you so much 😄

Great video, but one thing that I'd like to help point out about touch typing, and specifically, the home row finger placement. I've been typing since I was 7 years old, and I max out at around 140-150 wpm, depending on what I'm typing. The home row requirement is a myth, from what I've seen with really fast typists, as are the "use all 8/10 fingers to type" popular advice. Technically, it is designed to be right. But the thing is, human habits are very strong, and if you have been typing for a long time using Hunt and Peck with two fingers, chances are, you'll get faster and more proficient with the same techniques. I've seen quite a few people around me who use hunt and peck, and still manage to hit above 100 wpm. And home row is something that I've not really used. It sounds good, again, in theory. But I usually never put my fingers on the ASDFJKL; keys before starting to type. My fingers will just gravitate to the keys that will begin my first word, and then it's just a natural flow from there. More than anything, it's just about practice. I've had entire years during my teenage when I barely practiced, and my wpm stayed at 45-50, and when I started practicing and typing again in my twenties, my speed shot up to what it is currently. Just keep practicing, and you'll find your top form and speed naturally.
