Your typing speed will improve by at least 10 WPM if you play this free game at least once a week. TypeRacer is much more fun than just a free typing test. It's better to practice typing on typeracer.com than any free typing program or typing tutor. The consensus is clear: among computer typing games, TypeRacer is king!

Don't wait to get started: the road to becoming a touch typing master is long, but at least TypeRacer makes it fun and easy. To be clear, TypeRacer is not an easy typing game, but it will actually make you a better typist than those easy typing games for kids. It makes you type the same sort of text you would see at typing jobs.

You will see improvement in a few weeks if you practice often, concentrate on accuracy over speed and adopt the proper technique. The hardest part is forgetting your bad habits, even if it means typing more slowly at first.

Current typing text options include random common English words, random easy words, books, book summaries short stories, fables, sight words for kids, random interesting and funny facts, random wise proverbs, and even the ability to type whatever you want with the custom text option.

Typing speed is calculated according to the most widely accepted method where a 'word' is assumed an average of 5 characters (spaces included) with every error (per minute) being a 1 WPM deduction. Nearly all other significant statistics are also reported, allowing for a more custom calculation as well.

After completing a test you will be able to see your wpm, raw wpm, accuracy, character stats, test length, leaderboards info and test info. (you can hover over some values to get floating point numbers). You can also see a graph of your wpm and raw over the duration of the test. Remember that the wpm line is a global average, while the raw wpm line is a local, momentary value. (meaning if you stop, the value is 0)

I haven't written about this yet, but a few weeks before starting my freshman year of college I decided to replace my aging laptop (which only lasted 30 minutes on a full charge) not with a brand new $1,000+ laptop that would last 4-5 hours, but a $500 iPad 2 that lasted more than 10. I needed something I could take notes during class with, and the iPad turned out to be the perfect tool for that. Someday I'll delve into the nitty gritty of how the iPad has been helping me get through college - right now I want to discuss one of the biggest misconceptions about typing on a large, non-tactile 10" display: that it's crappy and slow. For some people it isn't, and I'm one of those people.

On November 17th, 2011 a friend of mine suspected that, for most people, typing on the iPad wasn't significantly slower than typing on a physical keyboard. Up until that point I had been carrying a bluetooth Apple keyboard with me to each of my classes because, like many people, I figured that typing on the screen would be too darn slow. I was skeptical, so to prove him wrong I did a spur-of-the-moment test. Turns out, I was the one who had it all wrong. That's always a cool result.

To test my typing speed on the iPhone, iPad screen and keyboard I used the TapTyping app by Flairify. It's more of a tutoring thing, but it has a speed test function that's pretty decent. Each test has 3, 2-3 sentence chunks of text you need to quickly type with as few errors as possible (no auto-correct, keep in mind). I intentionally didn't do multiple trials for each input method: I didn't want familiarity with any one pre-canned sentence to skew my result. This was about periodically looking away from the keyboard to read (like I do in class) and typing things down, often at the same time. Seems like a hard thing to do without physical keys to align your fingers with, doesn't it? It is - only future tech can fix this.

I took the test on my iPhone while seated, with my arms resting on my knees. I typed on the iPad's screen with it in "typing mode" on a desk, and I typed on a bluetooth keyboard with the iPad in "standing mode" in front of me on the same desk. The results?

In one study of average computer users, the average rate for transcription was 33 words per minute, and 19 words per minute for composition. In the same study, when the group was divided into "fast", "moderate" and "slow" groups, the average speeds were 40 wpm, 35 wpm, and 23 wpm respectively.

An average professional typist types usually in speeds of 50 to 80 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other time-sensitive typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120 wpm.

I decided my typing speed on an iPad wasn't bad at all, and since then my bluetooth keyboard hasn't left my dorm room. As I learned, this was actually a good thing - figuring out how to put a keyboard and an iPad on one of those small flip-down desks in lecture halls was always a problem.

Remarkably, my iPad speed has improved by 15 wpm after two semester's worth of using it for notes. My keyboard speed also improved by 11 wpm (always nice), but unfortunately my iPhone speed went down by 6 wpm. I didn't want to cheat and re-do my iPhone test for the sake of honesty, but I suspect my slowdown was due to the fact that I'm not quite used to the iPhone 5's larger size quite yet. If I re-took this test a month from now I think I'll be back up to speed.

I'm not confident that I'll be able to reach 100+ wpm given the touch technology we have today, but there's a good chance that I could with the Surface's Touch Cover or maybe even a tactile touch screen. We'll see, but for now I'd encourage you to test out your own touchscreen typing speed - you might not be as slow as you think.

Use technology: Use keyboarding software such as TypingMagic and online typing lessons such as TypingTrainer to supplement your in-class instruction and provide students with additional opportunities to practice their typing skills.

Advancing keyboarding skills is at the heart of many teachers. They want to see their kids type quickly, just as bad as each kid wants to be the fastest typist. Each gaming app associated with our website provides a different interface, theme, or strategy to be utilized when participating. Some videogames feature different levels from easy to hard. The differentiation between each level can help give students a goal to strive for. This keeps the kids interested and focused on the task at hand. If your school is already using a keyboarding program, our gaming site offers lots of extra material to keep students motivated.

Keyboarding is a skill everyone should be able to perform accurately, swiftly and automatically. Automaticity frees some of the limited capacity of short-term memory for other uses. Short-term memory, also frequently called working memory, is where learning and thinking activities occur. 006ab0faaa
