Who is the fastest at typing on here

joanlawson

I am a keyboard demon: demonically slow, only using two fingers, but I get there in the end :!: :shock:

When I get going I am pretty fast, but with terrible technique and have to look at the keyboard all the time! My hubby says its like a machine gun when I get going on a reply to a friend on facebook or email some evenings!!

Back in the day, I was really fast.......AT TYPING!!! Trained to touch
type, with the keyboard always covered. Life in general, and other stuff intervened, and I didn`t do any typing for years.



Then... PC`s arrived, and lo and behold, everything came back in no time, and now I put all the young uns to shame!.........Ange.

Same here, Ange. Original training as a solicitor's clerk, typing leases, wills, and legal documents in general. Went on to do medical reports and at that point I was 75wpm.
Arthur, time and not needing to type intervened too, but now as you say I can out type all the youngsters at work, although I'm lots slower now.

Don't want to brag but I do beat you all hands down :-P My daughter timed me a few weeks ago and I copy typed a magazine article... OK, I knew I was being timed and was probably typing faster because of it but I did...


120 words in a minute :-)


But I do type all day, and I'm a complete computer geek.

I was timed on an old fashioned mechanical typewriter. With an eletric keyboard I would probably have been a lot faster.

Hello All

I think I can relate to Annie on this topic. I started office work when I was 16 at £3 per hour. I thought I was pretty fast then. Gosh, don't ask me to describe the typewriter. Possibly in a museum by now. Where I should be aswell, some of you might say.
I worked my way through as accountants sec, solicitors sec, medical secretary and then finally care management. All required long and lengthy reports and the accountant's office was where I had to count the figures up as I went along, hoping it would all be right at the end, because if it wasn't, you had to start again on clean paper. No corrections could be made on them.
So, my speed would be on the 75 - 80 mark. I know it was that because I went for an interview with a firm of estate agents where every bit of typing was done from dictaphones. Anyone remember them? My mistake level was a little higher on this one because I couldn't understand the lingo. These machines were fine once you learn't the dictator's idio-ecentricities (the stupid

quirky habits)

Now, it is typing mainly with my right hand because we still do not know what is the matter with my left hand and what is causing the numbness and tingling in the fingers.

You realise, of course, that it was all this sitting at a typewriters, computer that caused the RA etc in necks and arms and hands in the first place
