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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

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

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?
