Measure your typing speed with WPM tests and track progress as you practice to move from around 40 WPM toward 80–120 WPM, with tips and community support.
Gear does not determine typing speed; you can type well on a laptop or a mechanical keyboard. A tactile feel and a DIY hand press can improve comfort.
Place your fingers on the home row at the F and J grooves, curve your hands, and keep thumbs on the spacebar to establish proper finger positioning for faster typing.
Improve typing speed by adopting proper posture with a height-adjustable chair that provides lower back support, 90-degree knee and elbow angles, a wrist pad, and an eye-level monitor.
Master the shortcut Ctrl+Backspace to delete the previous word, speeding up corrections compared with backspacing letter by letter. Practice with proper finger positioning to improve day-to-day typing and messaging efficiency.
Evaluate typing practice sites—ten fast fingers, monkey type, typeracer—and weigh consistency, speed graphs, and real life scenarios. Mix one consistent site with one fun site for longer training.
Discover z-type, a typing game with waves of enemies that makes practice fun and helps you reach 0 to 50 beats per minute and 100 to 150 words per minute.
Build typing speed with muscle memory and proper finger positioning. Practice short daily sessions to reinforce correct movements and reduce forgetting.
Improve from 0 to 50 wpm by reinforcing proper finger positioning and training to type without looking at the keyboard, gradually memorizing keys through steady practice with ten fast fingers.
Apply the 80/20 rule to typing by focusing on the 20% of words used 80% of the time, boosting speed. Use ten fast fingers top 200 words for efficient practice.
Boost your typing speed by treating spelling as a game you level up, training words letter by letter, syllable by syllable, then whole words with spaced repetition and 80/20 focus.
Improve your typing speed by looking ahead to the next word and building muscle memory, then practice at about 80% speed to maintain accuracy, useful for transcription and data entry.
Boost 100+ wpm by prioritizing accuracy and slow practice of unfamiliar words to build muscle memory, then apply the one stroke method and pause on tough words in Typeracer.
Boost your typing speed by using a custom typing test with more word variety, removing time pressure for longer practice, and applying a one-stroke method to train unfamiliar words.
Focus on your most-used language and build muscle memory, then use a single keyboard layout (US International) to type across languages without constant switching.
Discover how macros speed up repetitive tasks by creating snippets and binding keys that substitute text for emails, phone numbers, and online purchases on Windows and Mac.
Learn how to choose a keyboard based on hot swappable features, switch type (linear, tactile, or clicky), and size, with emphasis on comfort, durability, and long-term value.
Discover common typing questions, master finger positioning for numbers and rare finger sequences, practice hand vibration for double letters, and compare Qwerty and Dvorak layouts to boost speed.
Improve productivity by maintaining straight posture and using shortcuts like ctrl c, ctrl v, ctrl x, ctrl z, ctrl a, ctrl s, and ctrl f to speed up tasks.
Learn the fastest ways to type on the phone, from one-finger methods to two-thumb and swipe typing, with setup tips and practical practice.
Practice with Typeracer and ten fast fingers to accelerate your typing progress, text properly and fast, and share a progress screenshot for the class project. Stay motivated and ask questions.
Typing really fast is a core skill. Improving it will improve many other activities! It changed my life and by following this class it will change yours.
This is what you will learn:
What is WPM
Does gear matter? (And common questions about it)
Fundamental finger position (and if you already type fast with a different position, should you change it?)
Useful underused shortcut
Where to practice and why
The 80/20 rule and how to use it for your advantage to accelerate your progress
0-50 WPM what to do to improve?
50-100 WPM what to do to improve?
100-150+ WPM what to do to improve?
What to do if you feel stuck at a certain speed?
[Extra] Common important questions I get all the time
In this class we'll go over all the basic like finger positioning for touch typing, types of keyboards. Then all the steps are taught that make you go from 0-50 WPM to 50-100 WPM as well as 100 - 150+ WPM. Extra tips are also given in case that you feel stuck at a certain speed as well as the most common and useful questions from my YouTube tutorial video on how to type fast are included in detail.
