I made a thread on this, best to do a search before making one... all i have to do is find the thread

Says something like 177 and 490 cpm. Don't really understand the results lol. I just like the Wow! I got

wpm = words per minute
cpm = characters per minute

 

[Tuffie]

I'm not sure how correct it is, because the worlds fastest typer types at 150 wpm for 50 min (37,500 key strokes).

 

[Archangel]

wooo...


6 mistakes and 38.59wpm 168.46cpm

well, maybe not too bad for a forreign language. I do however think that if you can type what you think it goes faster, than retyping something you read at that moment.

Yeah, wow. It can't be incorrect because all it does is time you and do some division. It's math.

True, it's correct. I don't know how fast that world's fastest typer, but if he can type only 150 then he's not the fastest typer. Period.
Also, it's true that people can type even faster if they don't have to look at the screen to see if they made a mistake or to see what word is next. But then again, I'd be even faster, and although English IS a foreign language to me, I still type fast.

i can remember here in aus on tv they had a contest to see what was faster txting on a phone or morse code, i think morse code won... i'll do a youtube search tommorow

 

[GameMaster]

Lol it's natural. If you know Morse code, all you have to do is write _ or . and it's naturally faster. Mobile phone, especially some sorts like Motorola L6, have such a hard keyboard and it takes ages to write a message.

 

[Archangel]

its not really natural at all, since every single sign requites 3 .'s or _'s

so with morse you actually have to wait too, because else you'll only have .'s

 

[GameMaster]

I thought he said the Morse code contestant was typing on a computer while the phone one typed on the mobile phone. Seemed logical and he didn't explain well enough. It's impossible that someone would actually make a competition where one will type a morse code on the phone and one the usual code...no way, that would be pointless...unless the phone code typer was a 3 year old child

That means...I was right. It's natural.
