Typing test: https://monkeytype.com
I used Unexpected Keyboard
Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)
I’m interested in how fast people who swipe type are.
Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential “to be faster” than the standard keyboards?

40 WPM 100% accuracy , Samsung keyboard
Unexpected keyboard also, never liked swyping to type, autosuggestion and things like that.
Also this is on cold when I just woke so my wpm is usually a but faster than this on mobile, while I have 100-110 on average on pc with regular qwerty.
78wpm 92% gboard
~200wpm on a physical desktop keyboard
Pretty similar to you on mobile, gboard. I used auto correct too though. Desktop I’m not really much faster than this, maybe like 85 on a good day.
Perhaps if you used more than two fingers on desktop
no u
25 wpm 83%
I was using phones with hardware keyboards for way too long and never really learned to type on screen keyboards. Now I just hate them and use desktop communicators whenever I can.
Florisboard with no swipe, no word predictions, no autocorrection, no nonsense.
WPM? Fast enough. It takes more time to proofread, edit and attach files than to actually type, anyway, so I don’t care about words per minute. Never have.
70 wpm: physical keyboard on mobile (blackberry clone)
43wpm, 95% accuracy, Gboard Dvorak no swipe
Fingers are a bit cold from just walking the dog, and I’m tired from getting off a 12 hour shift, have a feeling I could do better under different circumstances.
Haven’t tested myself on a real keyboard in a long time, but once upon a time I could hit well north of 100wpm pretty consistently if I tried. When I tested myself in preparation for my current job about 5 years ago I think I usually hovered somewhere around 80-90 (911 dispatch, my agency requires at least 60 to pass the aptitude test, I wasn’t worried about passing but I was curious where I was at since I hadn’t been typing much at the time)
touch type and no word suggestion and autocorrect.
lemme try rq
edit: gboard (firewalled ofc) got me this, i am guessing this is for sure faster that typing on my laptop, and i now am paying attention to my typing speed.
will be updated if i change keyboard’s probably
I was faster and more accurate in typing manually (~ 70 wpm) than with swipe typing with Gboard (~ 50 wpm) lol. Maybe I’m just more used to using FlorisBoard daily tho
63 wpm, 91% acc
Florisboard, I love that keyboard. I have to say I cant perfectly read mistakes on Monkeytype so some more of them
58 with stock apple keyboard (don’t know why I decided to post this comment in an android community lol)
HP office keyboard from 2010 (The cadillac of keyboards), and somewhere around 90 WPM.
HP office keyboard on your android phone?
Didn’t see which group I was in lol
I made the same mistake and was initially like “50wpm? Amateur.” Once I saw it was Android, I shut my mouth with my 20wpm on my phone.

Seems a bit bulky to carry around with you everywhere you go. Does it even have Bluetooth or do you need a USB adapter to connect it to your phone?
AnySoftKeyboard and got 54wpm 95% accuracy. Better than I thought I would get
Came here to see if there were any supporters for AnySoft Keyboard 😃
