wow this is tough. I forget how often I mistype things until I see them turn red.
on the initial post I was averaging somewhere around 70wpm and on monkeytype I was getting somewhere near 110. trying to raise my speed is fun, this could be a game !

I was proud for learning home-row last year, pushing my typing speed from 40 to low 60s (on a good day). Seems i’m below average on this community lol.

90-110, with error rate increasing exponentially if i try to push higher than that (96 on the one in the first post), not especially efficient (my left hand does a disproportionate amount of the workload), but I was exposed to computer from a very young age and this was just how I ended up leaning, habits were too ingrained for Mavis Beacon to save me
also to note is those sites are transcription typing tests, and in practice i never really type that fast in such a sustained manner. i probably do type that fast from thought, but it’s only in short bursts and the limiting factor is usually my ability to compose the sentence ahead of my fingers
conversely, on a phone my wpm is a fraction of that (maybe like 30-50), which can be quite frustrating if i get into an intense conversation, as it can feel like a bottleneck in my ability to continue my train of thought, as well as my ability to convey that information to whoever i’m talking to

I have the exact same thing. My usual wpm is in the 90s, but I just took a typing test on my phone and got 49. I’m orders of magnitude more prone to typos on my phone as well. If I’m chatting with someone on my phone and need to say a whole lot, I move over to my computer asap. Typing at half my usual wpm just isn’t acceptable for a long conversation.
