Anyone else find typing extremely satisfying? Haha If you enjoyed, LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE this video with your SLOW FRIENDS!! Sending out lots of love to you all :) Note-taking centered video COMING VERY SOON!! Stay subscribed and TURN ON notifications!
This video is great! Before I saw this video I really wanted to get better at typing and so I went on Keybr but 10 finger typing was really really hard for me (I just got a keyboard that day and practiced a few hours on a laptop before) (so basically i was a total beginner) . Then I watched this video and found out that there are websites that teach you 10 finger typing. I chose typing club and spent 1 and half hours on it and now I am pretty confident with my home grip letters .Hopefully I will progress enough one day to have a 100+ wpm typing speed like you. Thanks again 🙏
I've been a starter. I've been using both keybr and 10fastfingers, now it's like 1-2 months and I've reached a speed at an avg of 22 wpm. What else should I be doing to get better results.
I was at 30wpm, then quickly jumped to around 50wpm, stayed at 50wpm for a while, then another quick jump to 80wpm and after practicing more and more I am now at an average of 105-110wpm with 98-100% accuracy. Just keep practicing and you can do it in no time!
Can I get some help ! I've been practicing daily for at least 3 years but still I'm hanging on at only 64 WPM on avg. I was only able to get a Max WPM of 78 for once I feel like I'm just training wrong !
super important tip: let your fingers be relaxed. I've been practicing for only a week, doing not more than 10 tests a day, and I found out that in the beginning I would stay very concentrated and that would give me cramps immediately, especially because I just focused on speed rather than correct finger positioning. If you allow your fingers to relax a bit, the speed will naturally improve over time. personally, I went from 30 to 53 WPM and this really helped!
People: how to get to 100wpm for 60wpm Me: how to get to 60wpm Edit: I got 60 now, time to get 100 Update 26th Nov 2020: I am at 90 Update 20th Dec 2020: I am at 97 Update 4th Jan 2021: I am at 80~90 due to the lack of practice during Christmas Update 5th Feb 2021: I hate myself, 93 Update 15th April 2021: 113 No more updates would be made, goal has been achieved
OMG me too! I can type around 70WPM in my native language (Spanish), but in English I'm still around 60WPM. We should create a group for "typing dreamers" haha
Here's how I was able to improve from 70 to personal best of 143: - Using laptop/short travel keyboards. Probably my main factor. - Knowing what to type and how to spell it as fast as you can read it - Reading ahead when typing - Getting comfortable/used with a specific keyboard layout
I am very fast at typing generally when it comes straight from my head. But I can’t type as fast when it’s words I need to look at. edit: it’s been a month since I commented this and i just want to say after practicing I have become faster both using tests and when I’m writing of the top of my head so yay. Keep doing what you’re doing!
once I start focusing too much on the word im typing I find that it messes with/gets in the way of my muscle memory. doing what ggum said helped a lot when it came to my speed of copying words since youre allowing your muscle memory do all the work after you know what you need to type out. [might need to slow down for long or difficult words until you get used to the spelling and motions]
This is a good idea because I’m a computer programmer. My typing speed is 70 to 80 WPM right now. I hope to improve it! Also...why are there so many children in the comments?

I started learning touch typing last 2 months. And now my highest record is 52wpm. Just practice everyday and always try your best not to look at your keyboard even when you make mistakes. It will take time but a progress, no matter how small, is still a progress. I remember starting and stuck at 12wpm lol. It was so hard for me cause I'm used to looking at my keyboard whenever I type.
@@xxfreedomxx9479 same highest was 23 and it wasn't even words lol , I'm just gonna practise everyday until the 13th when the assessment is due, wish me luck lol, I'm legit scared lol
@@voyage8090 fr man I really like monkey type mainly because of the customisation. I’m 1 month into my own journey and I started off at 18-20wpm and I’ve nearly doubled my speed and can consistently get 35-40wpm. Haven’t been practicing everyday but I try my best whenever I have time. Overall I’m more proud of my accuracy than my speed. Speed is nothing if you are constantly making typos
The video I didn't know I needed to watch! When I read the title, I thought: "This is a very specific skill, I don't think it's that necessary." But then I watched your video and noticed how fast my writing speed can become compared to its current state. And I think it's worth the effort in the long run! Thank you, Ren, your videos are great!
Thank you so much, Yuri! Exactly! Typing speed is absolutely essential to speed up your workflow! Please share this video with anyone who might benefit! Thanks for all the constant support :)
going to try this. Current WPM 60-70 on 10FastFingers Current WPM 30-40 on Typeracer Goal will be 100WPM by a week. Current Day: 14 October Deadline: 21 October Will do an Update. Update. I hit 120wps. average 100-110 on 10FF average 90-100 on Typeracer however, I spent a significant amount of time focusing on improving my typing speed. I skipped social events, prioritized speed training over actually doing assignments, and overall had improvement on my mind whenever awake. my advice to anyone is that this video is kinda shit and doesn't really go into how to practice typing and expectations. within a week the average person could probably hit 10 extra WPS. however if you sink in enough time that I did, you should expect a steady 10-15wps improvement daily. Here are my OPINIONS and advice. don't switch keyboards that will fuck up your muscle memory. actually, focus on improvement, and ACTUALLY put your mind to improvement. don't just go through the motions not really trying and just swinging by. when typing it shouldn't feel like an enormous physical effort. when typing fast it should feel fluid and smooth. don't hyperfocus on each word rather smoothly and speedily flow through each word and try to progressively go faster and faster. before going for speed improvement you should be able to type blindfolded and remember the location of every single key. if you can get a friend or something to read out words for you and close your eyes trying to type all the words read out and be able to have an accuracy of 90-100% than you can start to focus completely on speed and forget about things like KeyBr trying to learn how to touch-type. try joining the 10FastFinger's discord server and socialize with the community. ask for advice and learn about different shortcuts and tips that some of the fastest typers know. also, watch penguifys video on the switch to COLEMACK from QWERTY. it may not touch on how to actually improve but it's a great watch on what to expect while practicing and is an interesting and enjoyable watch on typing and it helps your understanding of what to actually expect from typing. to summarize everything up. anyone trying to learn how to type faster for what ever reasons, keep going and don't give up. there will be days where you just hit walls and feel like your typing slower and de-progressing. stop and evaluate what the actual problem is and slow things down to try and adjust and adapt. just like any skill, your rate of progression will slowly decrease after reaching a certain point. just because you weren't progressing as fast as you were a few days ago doesn't mean always mean you turned worst. keep trying and progressing and you will hit your goals. keep patient and have your head up.
@@zyn1304 if you see any top typist, none of them type the same way. Try and use KeyBr and to learn the key positions to muscle memory and then you can adapt your own style in typing.
I found that I had to correct my bad habits (too much index finger usage and incorrect home row) and that now I am confused on where to stick to a strict equation like execution for every word, as memorized from muscle memory, or to be able to switch what fingers press any specific key. (Also I've noticed some difficulties have risen and faded quite quickly like the "g and y" key). Also, I feel like when I practice typing now, I introduce new techniques as well to work into my "repertoire" of tricks. Like using multiple fingers for repeated keys and switching positions of the hands and fingers (and how they move in relation to each other) slightly in response to each unique event (but requires really solid understanding of where the keys are). And to follow up with my last point, that's one of the main things I am working on. When I can start recalling exactly where a specific key is, I can use my baseline ability and morph my style into a really adapted and focused home row.
i'm gonna go through each "opinions" and comment through them, as a 130wpm typer on monkeytype.com 60 seconds 250 words 1. what do you mean by "switch keyboards"? if you mean layout, absolutely. if you mean the keyboard itself... you have issues i know that "preferences" exist but if you switch from low profile keyboard to high profile keyboard, and type at 20wpm, then you need to fix that. the keyboard itself should not be the thing slowing you down 2. in the second sentence, it just means typing casually and carefreely. you made good points, but i feel like "focus on improvement" feels too vague. perhaps saying "focus on accuracy" is a bit better 4. good statement, although you may not need to completely type blindfolded, you just have to remember that qwerty keyboard has qwertyuiopasdfghjkl;zxcvbnm,./ if you don't, do it now 6. i cringed on this "opinion". first off, his name is pinguefy, second, he switches to workman, not colemak. i don't think his videos will help much because some people might be mistakenly led to switching layouts, when they don't even need to. only switch layouts for ergonomic purposes, NOT FOR SPEED. you will easily be able to find people typing 200wpm with qwerty anyways, so probably also good to mention that i don't use qwerty, but i use minimak. DO NOT SWITCH IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO, but here's information for the layout: www.minimak.com 7. i second the summary basically, progress is not linear, so don't expect much if you slow down on improving and whatnot
I love the video but feel reaching 100wpm even from 60wpm IN A WEEK is kind of, a tall claim. Great video ideas though! Not many RU-vidrs realise people don't know how to touch type and may benefit even with a simple tip.
Thanks so much for your comment! I truly believe in practice, and have personally seen peers (starting at 60wpm) building up to 100wpm in a week! I know it may seem like a large claim, but it definitely is very possible. Like I said, treat it as a training camp :)
@@NotesWithRen if they said that, then know that they are big fat liars!! I've started at 60, and it's been over 2 months now of deliberate practice and I've only managed 90wpm average. And my progress compared to many others I've talked to is considered really good!! please don't make such claims you'll make people depressed if they don't reach what they thought they would've reached in one week, it's simply not possible.
I loved this video. Thank you so much. I am a 63-year-old currently doing an MT course. I do okay but I find myself constantly pressing the "Backspace" for stupid errors. Actually, I fluctuate with my typing. Some days I can't go wrong, and other days it seems like my brain is jumbled and I don't know what I am doing. I am going to try all your tips and come back to this video to let you know how I am doing. I am sooooooooo amazed that you can type 100 wpm and I want to be there so badly. Thank you again.
Yeah I am trying to type more in general to get more practice, it definitely helps for broad experience, not too amazing for significant practice sessions though.
Dude you can totally get better. I once also was around 30ishWPM. But if you don't look at the keyboard and just straight up practice, you will get to 50wpm. It may not be as much 90wpm, but it's better, and you WILL get better :)
Best video I've ever seen for a intermediate typist... This video is stuffed with information one need..really a great great video! Appreciate your effort!
I, with practice, type 34 WPM. I’m 45 years old, did not learn touch typing until November 2023. In november I averaged around 24 WPM when I just started learning how to touch type. Using my own style I was at about 28/ 30 wpm. Never been a typist as you might guess. But was behind the computer daily. I just wanted to put this out there for everybody else who’s been watching these types of videos and is nowhere near as fast as most these people already are 😉 I also read slow and have trouble focussing my mind. So. All I wanted to say to the slower typists is: you’re not alone buddy and we’re doing great trying hard to improve 🍀☀️👍 ❤️
I was typing 65-70 avg. when I started out typing practicing. Now, a year and a half later, I have an average of 103WPM. It is not as hard, just practice, workout (it really helps your muscles go faster and more coordinated).
Before trying touch typing, I would get around 40wpm but after I tried, I dropped to 20. I felt really bad but came back to 40 in just a day and I am starting to see some improvement ! ty very much for this great vid !
really helpful video and i think correct posture also increases the speed greatly....i tried many random postures during my practice and i was able to find a posture that boosted my typing speed from 50wpm to 68 wpm in a single test with no any other efforts...just by changing the posture
Average person types at 35 wpm so dont be sad and just keep on practicing i went from 40 to 60 in a couple of days just doing all my works on my main keyboard spent like 4-5 hrs/day this really helped
me crying at 25 wpm but i will reach 100 wpm I've started .. UPDATE-1: I type at 65 wpm on avg today... 100+ to go UPDATE-2: now my highest score is 80 wpm for English 1k, 60-second test in monkey type... avg around 70+ 100+wpm to go !!!
I shifted from 60 to around 80 sometimes 90 when paragraphs are easy and short, but key thing here I found once I was comfortable with small letters I didn't shifted my focus on practicing Capital letters which I still struggle with, I started enjoying it but never really shifting, shifting would really improve the speed but I wouldn't say in a week, I had practiced everyday for 30 minutes for around 3 months I guess, during that time I mostly stayed in comfort level zone, spent much time on keybr and less time on typingracer which included capital letters, grammar, letters. If you constantly pay attention to your mistakes while typing and try to analyze which is your weak part where you make most mistakes, and shift to discomfort as your comfort level expands, you would see great improvements during every typing session.
I've been trying to figure out how to increase my speed for a while now and was not exactly sure how to do it. You just offered some great tips that I'm going to start on right now. Thank you.
Yeah I'm not a very driven person for productivity, but I love to be able to type fast because I feel that I use the skill so much and it's really fun to just clack on a keyboard really fast.
Thank you for making this video! I've actually used fastfingers to get my typing speed up from 60 wpm to 80 wpm, but for some reason getting up to the 100 wpm mark seems really difficult. And then we have Russian where my wpm is around 40 haha (used to be 10 though xD)
I'm 11, i can type 70 wpm, but I am having trouble with the numbers and I also have a bad habit of just pressing leftshift to make the word uppercase. I really want to make use of the right shift.
For me, somehow, taking notes during class is completely different from practicing with something like typeracer. I have habituated into lots of typing errors because the pressure on speed is super high in class and my attention is divided because I need to listen and type at the same time. While writing, I often find myself with the thoughts already at the next word and end up inserting letters of the new word into the position I was writing on. Ultimately, this leads me to not really register what my fingers are typing and thus I end up deleting the majority of my written words. At the moment I'm figuring out, how I can correct this habit again. What also throws me off completely when I have to navigate around with the arrow keys in the document
Ya that happens. In typing tests you are just typing what you see infront of you. But in real life typing, you actually have to form words in your brain first before you can type. There's a delay. I've been practicing from online dictations of about 70wpm which is really slow when compared to the speed we talk with. I can barely follow it though
Here’s another tip: maybe try different keyboard layouts, like dvorak and workman (i’m currently using colemak). Just find a keyboard layout you feel comfortable and confident in.
To my surprise I improve so much just by being constant. I used to use 5 fingers thumbs included in total and peck for letters. I taped my keys so that I would stop looking at it, and I started to really touch type. At the beginning I was around 19 wpm with less than 80% accuracy. Now I average 60 with 96% with a best speed of 73. I want to reach an average of 100 so much, and I am not sure I can. With around 90 in Italian, and maybe 80 in English I would already be content tho.
What do you mean one week??? I have been practicing typing almost every day for 3-4 months starting at around 50wpm and still have not been able to type 100wpm on quotes.
This can depend on how you practice typing. If you only practice on 10fastfingers, then that's not such a good practice way. It's good for starters in my opinion since it helps you get better at typing words, but it doesn't encourage accuracy, since you don't have to press backspace when you mistype a word. Typeracer, nitro type are 2 sites I know of that do courage you to type more precisely, and is, in general, more effective, since you have to make actual sentences which improves your true WPM. I recommend watching its johns video on how to get 200WPM.
I suggest going on keybr, after you feel you have good accuracy there, I recommend monkey type, and practicing punctuations there, after you feel you are good with those, then move on towards type racer :]
@@ropergames889 yeah, idk if the monkey type practice is too necessary since I myself went from 10fastfingers to typeracer head on and still learnt quick.
@@NoahHoi lol, johns has more than 8 years of experience in typing, see what speeds he reached 7 years ago (120 - 140 wpm). If we are talking about reaching 100 words per minute on fast fingers, where usually everyone uses the 200 words mode that they already know by heart, then yes, it is possible to achieve such values, but as a rule, it takes several months. And if we talk about printing any text in which there are capital letters, punctuation, and meaningful text, and not a set of words, you will not be able to reach 100 words per minute even in half a year.
Awesome video, but "100 WPM in a week" is a pretty bold claim. I've been typing for more than a year, and I'm still around 90-100 WPM. I think, if a person can learn touch-typing in a week and use it consistently, that's already an achievement. Also, websites you mentioned are great. I'm @demicuz on KeyHero ;) . If someone is interested, a few tips of mine: * Accuracy over speed. Always. For some time focusing on speed blocked my improvement * If you're tired - rest. For me even typing for 10 mins can be exhausting if I do it full-speed * Looking the words ahead is really important (as mentioned in the video) . And also I'm using Colemak mod-DH instead of QWERTY. One big downside - on other devices you'll have to move back to QWERTY (unless you have a super-custom separate keyboard, like ErgoDox), but in my experience switching between these two is not that hard (I also touch-type on QWERTY). Another issue is all key combinations are messed up (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc.), but I've fixed it with AutoHotKey and it works well.
I have literally started practicing touch typing... _3 days without touch typing my AVG speed was 28_30 _29/09/21 have learned almost half of the keys ( 90% accuracy and 13_15 wpm speed) Goals: #1_till 30/09/21 will learn the whole keyboard for touch typing( 90% accuracy and speed around 18 wpm) #2_01/10/21 will tell you my speed after play typing games for few hours . . . .+2 wpm each day . . .til; 14/10/21 #My Final Goal is 45 wpm with 94% accuracy...IA
The quality of the video is just AMAZING! Thank you so much for the video! Typing faster is really gonna help me with my online tests and assignments :)
Amazing video!! 👌 I just started learning how to type. I can type 18 wpm only 😕😅 still a beginner but I will achieve my goal and keep practicing 💪 Thanks for the video
Currently typing 67 wpm according to monkeytype, lets see how much I can improve using these methods. After one month of practicing my typing every day and improving my methods using this video and other videos, I have been able to jump from 67 wpm to an average of around 84 wpm. Hopefully, soon I can reach the 90's and then the 100's.
I think typing in websites like NITROTYPE and TypeRacer improve your WPM the most because when you type an essay you have a bunch of punctuation and such, with just typing words it doesn’t really improve WPM generally
I've just seen the video now and I've started this speed typing thing 2 days ago with a average of 40wpm... my heighest so far after those two days is 94wpm.
Thank you Ren for this excellent video! I was planning to start an internet search with the purpose of improving my typing and you saved me a lot of work! The format and content of the video is really top and personally I like more your videos without background music like this one: it's much better to focus on your voice and the content. Keep up with the good work! You got a new subscriber :-)
I've been addicted to typeracer for the past couple of weeks and managed to get my average from 55 to 90. But i guess 110 wpm is my upper limit. I can't even begin to fathom how people managed 200 wpm But i guess 80 wpm is already an ideal comfort zone for day to day typing
Me : quietly plays type racer to try and improve my 30-40 wpm also me : how do yall type so fast- also also me : realises i dont type with 10/8 fingers and only use my left hand and 2 of my right hands fingers- (so like 4/5/6 fingers at average rip me) also also also me : time to try for 40 wpm with like 8 fingers rather than like 4/5/6- i might reply/edit this comment for my daily wpm updates-
Hello! Thanks so much for commenting! I’m sure everyone would love to see your progress, so please do update us on that! Also, try to focus on touch typing (without looking down at your hands) and start from the websites I mentioned in this video, since they teach you how to place your hands and you can use all 10 of your fingers :) Finger placement is extremely important, so start learning from the home row and go from there! Another tip is to keep yourself accountable- like posting comments so that others can make sure you’re putting in your work! Or, you can share this video with your friends and family and work on improving together to make sure everyone is doing their job! Looking forward to seeing your updates :) Best of luck!
@@NotesWithRen once online class starts ill sneak in as much practice as i can while i also make time for my violin practice (cuz i havent practiced in a while ;-;) A lil later today i try to get some practice after my moms done using the internet- (i cant practice while shes working because the typing pages dont work i just type out sentences from songs and random sentences as accurately and fast as i currently can so it may take me more than a week or so to get to 60 wpm then my next goal is 80 then 100) alright sorry for the sorta long reply hope you have a good day! btw i do apologize if i sometimes do miss some typing practice or exercises sometimes but i will try my best to atleast get 60 wpm soon
Update to my wpm : dmy pc setup got rempved for the mean while because my sister had to set up her pc for work- meaning o couldnt practice typing so yeah-
but ive been typing qwerty for about 2 years and im still at 17-20 wpm XD XD and this video didnt help at all. and it doesnt....you just talk about science and stuff.. and dont really explain how to type faster at all.... not trying to bring any hate to you.. i just wanted to inform you about this
Just type as fast as you can for 20 minutes everyday. Don't worry about accuracy at first. the road to one hundred is paved by building up finger strength, trust me.
Thank you Ren for the exercises and tips with typing I tried some and they seem to help really well😄. Also quick question, can you please make a video on how to study effectively and efficiently? I personally struggle on actually studying and remembering what I studied when taking a test ☹😥 Also how do we find our learning style, I've tried but I don't know how to find it (tests I've taken show I am a logical and visual learner), and how I should study with my learning style. 😓
Thanks so much for the comments! I'm glad the tips are helping! And great questions, I'll make sure to make a video on proper study techniques later on, but for now, stick with using spaced repetition and active recall (I mentioned these in my other video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4OQ3gNRHCY4.html Hope that helps!
I've been typing for around 2 months now. My personnel best on typeracer is 140 on a very short quote, and 126 on a medium text. However, I find it really hard to be consistent and get high accuracy. Is there any thing I can do to be more consistent?
When i first started typing I never even touched a computer. School starts and 2 months later I went from 27 wpm average (35 being my most) and now 45 wpm average and 60 being my most.
Beginners should focus immensely on their accuracy with the right fingers and not speed at all, in my opinion . The difficult part is the accuracy without glancing at the keyboard and takes sometime to get settled into. Only when you can type without glancing at the keyboard with the correct fingers and gain the right posture and frame, will you be able to work on your speed and then get better at it. Its like building up your career. You don't get a scholarship straightaway in your kindergarten. Barring Some exceptional individuals, most won't. So if you are naturally not typing really fast and accurate without any training, you can't get to the typing fast part after practicing just for a week. So Accuracy is of paramount importance initially. This helps in two ways , one you get to know where each individual keys are placed and second helps you to keep the momentum of the typing. Remember, the moment you make mistakes the speed drops as the momentum breaks and correcting it takes even extra time. So I'd really suggest people in the average and below average category to work hard on their accuracy. Speed will come eventually. Don't just start practicing as if your goal is to type faster and faster everyday, it doesn't work that way and is the wrong goal to have, which will dampen your enthusiasm and eventually will make you less motivated as the results will be slow. You'd more often than not get more frustrated with the lack of improvements overtime if you set your eyes on speed so early on. For eg. If you start dreaming to beat Usain Bolt's record asap when you are learning how to walk, you are bound to feel your gains are too little and too slow. You have to understand, it takes time with the right ways and dedicated hard work and then you can close in to your goal. Speed typing is just a short version of that. Therefore, give yourself time and dedicate your efforts with the right mindset. Practice with your priorities and don't just run(or in this case type) blindly behind speed. P.S. : I'm practicing Speed Typing without glancing at the keyboard, so the whole thing got this long. Cheers...All the Best!!
I have always typed fast in my life. I'm not sure why or how but I never needed practice. The slowest I could ever remember typing was about 75 wpm. I can now type 120 wpm avg. I have been getting better but it has been several years.
I went from , not knowing where to put my fingers and 4 wpm to 30 wpm in 4 days .. all you really have to do is apply yourself and keep at it. It's an awesome feeling when you realize your fingers already know what to do .
I appreciate your speech. I really get irritated when I press the wrong key. But I'll take your word on it. If I start feeling stressed out, I'll just give myself a break than restarting over and banging on my keyboard for one mistake.
im 13 and I type more than 100 wpm with an accuracy of 95-100 percent. All I can say is practice your touch typing and after you have mastered that, take your type test, you also want to make sure to relax your fingers it really helps.
I have practiced continually for years and have never been able to get past the high 60's or low 70's on longer real-life texts. I can't imagine ever reaching 100 without learning how to chord.
