@@Avianca-rr3rf Fastest typing speed is not 170 words per minute, there are clear videos of many people going 170+ and even 220+. I don't think you watched any of those videos. But they are there on RU-vid, watch one of them.
Yeah, I haven't been on there lately as I've been taking a break from almost all typing sites (I am doing Intersteno right now). I'm behind on a lot of other stuff in my life, and typing isn't a priority to me right now. Maybe I'll add you if/when I do log in there for more than 5 seconds.
I wouldn't recommend it. You are already well fast enough for any real world purpose, and at this point, there would probably be many better things to focus on. There's really diminishing marginal utility with trying to improve past a certain point, unless you find it fun. I don't tend to find typing fun.
Jeez, this is impressive, and I was linked to it fairly randomly. I have been touch-typing for most of my life, and learned to do so more by personal convenience than by learning it the formal way. In such testing I can get above 140 WPM at my best, and maybe if I spent many hours in practice I could manage to get to 150 or 160 WPM, but 200 is simply absurdly fast.
There aren't quite as many people on that site in general as there are on TypeRacer and they seem to strictly regiment players within their own speed group a bit more than TypeRacer (there aren't too many others in my speed group, so there aren't many possible opponents) and the site mandates 5-player matches, so you usually have to play 4 REALLY FAST robots (that often beat you).
The bots are always adjusted to your speed based on the last 10 or 20 races (I don't remember whether it's 10 or 20), so invariably, you'll either beat them all if you'd had slow recent races or lose to them all if you hadn't. It's pretty rare (for me at least) to finish in the middle.
I log on and add my new NitroType friend requests every day, but I'm not interested in racing on any site very often these days. If you want to add me, ask on there and I will add you. I have too much on my mind to add specific people manually...
hey I sent you many time request to play with me but u just ignore me i want to show my friends that u are real they don't believe it they said that u use some hack but u don't i can't use RU-vid in school so i want to accept my race request please thank you my name is jashansingh13
wearepros1000 I am not actively playing on NitroType or anywhere. I do log on in there once a day to accept new friend requests, but that's it. If you want to schedule a race, I prefer to be contacted on Facebook, but I have not been in the mood to enter races with pretty much anyone for most of the last few months. If you make a more formal request on Facebook or a PM, I'd be more likely to agree.
Payn I haven't used a wide variety of keyboards, and I don't see a massive difference between the ones I have used. Typing is about the typist, not the keyboard. Desktop keyboards are in general significantly faster than laptop keyboards but other than that I don't see much of a difference. Deluxe keyboards are barely faster than cheap keyboards if they even are at all. They may be more ergonomic and better on the hands.
It has been done before and many other sites have used that idea. That idea is just as common and simple to come up with as a paper airplane alot of people have thought of this. I wouldn't say it is copying, but it could've influenced and yet there is no reason to believe it is a copy. Considering NitroType is a Bird's Eye View and Typeracer and the majority of other typing sites is a side view to the car.
While I’m over here thinking I’m so good with an average of 75 Edit: after a month I now have an average of 83 and a best score as 97 Edit2: didn’t get my average up anymore but got 103 for a best
@@Coco-oy7sf sorry about late reply but work on your accuracy even if you have to type slower, going 60 wpm with 100% accuraccy is just as fast as 75 wpm with 90%
Wow, that was the fastest I've ever seen anyone type so fast. I'm in middle school and I type an average of 80wpm, and I thought that was fast because everyone else in my class is like 20 or 30
80 wpm IS fast in the general population, and it still isn't bad percentile-wise on competitive typing sites. You certainly are as good a typist as you need to be for any real life purposes.
It was honestly better back then than it is today. With each new update, it was increasingly dumbed down. I know even the Nitro Type hardcore don't like that the leaderboards were removed. But there are still lots of typing sites that are worse.
NitroType tests are about a minute and I don't think I can do 225 in a minute. I've only done 220 on 10fastfingers, which at the moment is still the record, but Alpha Panda will beat me before the end of 2018. I don't think I can do 225 on a NitroType test, and I do think I've probably peaked already as it is, although I was really hot in the spring even though I've been feeling really weak.
I'm not actively going on any typing sites at the moment (I'm focusing on other stuff like my sports archivist job, my racing statistics website, my tournament Scrabble career, and some real-life issues), so I'm not inclined to add people on NitroType at the moment but I'll think of you all and add you if I do come back. But that probably won't be soon.
+SeanWrona idk if i did that right but also i wanted to know... were you the guy who won the worlds fastest typist? because i remember a guy named sean won $2000 winning that contest.
No, it's possible. The fastest typer is Barbara Blackburn. But, the fastest words per minute ever recorded was 218 wpm. Her average is 150 wpm and her highest is 212 wpm
From what I hear, your record is at around 230 words per minute? It's what I recall from a considerable while ago. You achieved it on type racer, right? I am probably wrong though. Also, question. Do you believe that you type faster when you know what you're going to type? The answer kind of remains different for many people to a degree, but I'm wondering what your opinion on it is. Occasionally, I'd hear that it doesn't make a difference at all. I guess it's dependent on many factors.
My record is 279.32 wpm on the TypingZone master of the month in July 2012, and I didn't even win, because Kukkain got 301.45 wpm on the same text. My TypeRacer record was 256 for several years (although I had a 274 and failed the captcha), and my current TypeRacer record is 270.75 wpm. I think most people improve most of the time when they are familiar with a text, but I'll say that my average on the new TypeRacer texts is hardly different from my average on the old texts, but that's not that typical situation, as I think I am much more consistent than most other people are. If you took the average of all first attempts at a quote, I think I would have a bigger advantage than I presently do, because other people seem to pick up more speed on certain quotes with familiarity than I do, especially Kukkain.
Stop making me feel old. I feel old enough as it is. Yeah, I was one of the oldest people to remain heavily active on typing sites in the past couple years but I think I've moved on and I'm retired from typing competition now.
Hello. We used to be friends but sadly I was one of the few (hehe) that got deleted off of your friends list. I want to know if it's normal for someone to type the way I type. I type using 4 fingers on my left hand (Thumb, Ring, Middle, Index) and only 1 finger on my right hand (Index). I type an average of 100+ wpm and have a high of 128 wpm.
I was more famous for what I did on most other sites but I was the best Nitro Type typist for quite a while at the same time I held the TypeRacer and 10fastfingers records. I haven't been on there much at all in years. I don't know whether this was the first video or not and it seems you can't search by upload date in anything other than reverse chronological order so it would take going through thousands of videos to figure that out.
@@arenasnow Do you still have an NT account that you race on NitroType time to time? I would be more than willing to friend you, and race you, although I'd probably lose, I currently am a NitroType youtuber myself, maybe you can be featured in one of my videos!
@@tariffictypist7372 I tried to do a Nitro Type race a few days ago while doing book research, but the site is too visually intensive for my decade-old computer to be able to handle anymore. I want to focus more on writing my book too. Also, people are limited to about 300 friends on Nitro Type over the past few years (I used to indiscriminately accept all the friend requests I got there, which numbered many thousands, but when they changed the friend limit I was basically unable to add any new friends.)
Lol I know it wasn’t sped up but it looked like it was sped up but it did say the wpm he does so I believe him... plus he was from the championship in 2010
Hi I read a few of your comments saying that you are "not actively going on any typing sites at the moment". I wonder if you have lost any speed or not. Since you'd still type everyday but not "racing" it shouldn't have dropped by a lot, if any. Thanks!
Usually no. I'm almost always substantially slower in the first races of a session but then steadily improve to a consistent pace by my 6th or 7th race, but then I think I can sustain it longer than a lot of other people even though I start off slow. I've never really noticed being slower after reemerging from a long hiatus.
im a big fan of you Sean when i saw you type 163 wpm as your average or most i want to beat ur score so bad because i think i can go higher than that if i practice more because ill be practicing for a loong time by the way im 10 yrs and i type 100 wpm and i just wanted to know if u have any tips on how to type faster without making more mistakes.
Focus exclusively on speed, then when you seem to be losing control, switch your entire focus to accuracy for a while, and keep rotating between the two foci.
Hey Sean. I understand you're probably the fastest typist in the world, and I'm not pointing this out to discredit your speed, but I saw you ctrl+v the word "psychological." :P
Almost none lately. Since last year's Ultimate Typing Championship, I've been primarily focused on writing my book, and I'm just about ready to mostly retire from competition, although I want to pivot to content creation. When I was most heavily active, which was from 2010-2012, I liked to do 50 races on TypeRacer a day, which took me about a half hour. I did visit other sites as well, but I seldom let myself spend more than 2 hours a day doing this, except on Typing Zone Masters of the Month sometimes. I had too many other hobbies and interests, as well as more important things I should be doing. Most of my improvement was when I wasn't even paying attention as a kid. I definitely wasn't as disciplined as the people coming up now I guess, which explains why Josh Hu at age 14 is already grinding all my old records into the dust and looks poised to become the 2020s version of me (I think he's going to overtake Chak on every site very soon.)
WONDERFUL job. I've been on Nitrotype for a few days now, my username's Symmetricity. You're a FLAWLESS typist. The best I ever did was about 160 wpm, but wow, that is extremely impressive.
Yeah I know, but other sites have adopted the idea of typing to race way before! It has been a common idea and I wouldn't necessarily say that NitroType is copying TypeRacer.
Nobody on earth can type 200 wpm over that long a time period, and when you're writing an essay you have to think about what you're writing anyway, so it would be hard to top 10 wpm for the most part I think.
If all of you are saying that he is using a bot and hacking hes not. It doesnt look like it and he was in the championship of typing and he won. They wouldve found out that he was hacking if he was
Yeah, I probably just need to upload videos on every site with my hands while dumping the old ones but there are plenty of things I want to do before I do that.
I've written about 200 pages and am close to done with the second half, although I've written very little of the first half. It looks like it's going to turn up around 500 pages but I'll probably have to make some cuts after that.
Yes. If that is your peak speed, it is similar to what my peak was at that my age, and that is probably better than my average was then. I never reply at 200 wpm or something since I have to think about what I'm writing, which is very different from typing from copy. Probably a couple minutes.
@@uwimanadiane5465 Try out keybr.com it got me from not being able to touch type at all to around 30 which is much better than before but I've seen people go from 70 to 100 wpm so anybody can use it.
From my generic typing tips on my website www.seanwrona.com/typing.php: I am also frequently asked for tips on typing faster. I believe my biggest advantage in typing is that I do not necessarily use the same finger to type the same key. I use whichever finger is most comfortable, which can vary based on the context of the letters in the word. I cannot completely explain what I'm doing since I have been doing it since my childhood and it comes naturally, but I do tend to use whichever finger is closest based on the positioning of my hands typing the other letters in the word. Additionally, if you want to increase your speed, do not type each word at uniform speed. Speed through the easier words and take a little more time on the harder words to ensure accuracy. Always focus on the word after the word you are currently typing so there are no unnatural pauses in your typing. I recommend using caps lock instead of shift to type capital letters to allow more flexibility in the hand that you would normally use shift with. Finally, with regard to online typing games, for whatever reason my scores seem to register higher in Google Chrome. Although this won't actually improve your speed, it could improve your nominal scores on certain typing sites.
That's probably part of it. If you've memorized and mastered how to type every frequent set of consecutive keystrokes, that probably allows you to build a steady rhythm so you never pause.
Katie Hoang No. arenasnow. Maybe I should try again some time since Mavis Beacon (whoever that is) has surpassed my record, which is one of the few noteworthy records I don't hold, but I don't really care that much.
It isn't hyped as much in the typing community in general, even though it is more popular in terms of Alexa ranking than a lot of the sites like TypingZone that are more famous in this community.
I really do think Nitro Type was better then. Many of the additions in later years were increasingly dumber but I also realize that the target audience for Nitro Type is grade-schoolers, not old millennials like me who are older than like 95% of the other people on any of these sites at this point.
My best is 141, I've been clocked at 170 , but I can't actually finish the race that fast, and I seem to trip up with the last few words no matter how easy they might be
Not so. NitroType has been around since 2011 and the people who made it came up with the idea of their own who have made more popular typing educators such as TypingWeb and next TypeRacer is much more inaccurate and judges wpm differently compared to other sites.
That's way faster than I was in middle school. You may yet pass my trajectory, but it seems like there are a lot of people in Nitro Type who seem poised to do the same, to be honest.
@@konnorkuznetsov1035 My Nitro Type record was 212 also set in 2012 and then I largely left the site after that. I don't think I've broken it since but I've spent very little time on the site in the past couple of years, and Rrraptor didn't manage to beat my 212 until a couple years ago.
If you enjoy it, no. If you don't enjoy it, yes. It's more about whether you find it fun or not or whether you enjoy the surrounding community. Typing has gotten boring for me lately but I'm largely here for the community these days.
If you're still a preteen or a teenager, I'd guess you probably will in a few months... If you're already an adult, it might take longer because kids improve faster.
