• Show HN: I made a game to improve my typing speed

  This is neat! Thanks for sharing! One thing I've been looking for (and would pay money for) is a tool/game that helps me improve my typing speed in real-world scenarios, especially writing code and/or editing documents. I purchased a subscription to keybr,[0] and it's pretty nice, but it assumes you're always typing brand new text linearly. There's no way to practice things like jumping to a previous line, jumping... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Been at this for 6 months, need advice

  Try a small change and sometimes a drastic one (like dropping a column or row) and mash keybr.com and monkeytype.com until it feels natural, or not then revert. And if I revert I often try again a few weeks later... Source: 5 months ago

• Any advice for learning a new layout?

  For practising a new layout, keybr.com is an excellent website. It uses gibberish, but drills one letter at a time. It's a nicer UX than just gnu typist (or whatever other touch-typing training program). Source: 5 months ago

• Why does keybr.com giving me real words now?

  I have been using keybr.com for the past few months and since it keeps giving me almost non-sensical words, my muscle memory has been trained for distinct letter, not just for words. But recently the website has started to give me real words which is kinda weird. Is this an update from the devs or a feature I'm missing out on? Source: 5 months ago

• How to respond to people who say "you type so slow"?

• Can anyone actually type over 50 wpm?

  Best site I’ve ever found to learn is keybr.com It will help you figure out what is slowing you down, so you can focus on solving that problem. Other than that, the trick is to move you hands as little as possible. Big movements are slow and clumsy. If you focus on accuracy and efficiency, speed will come. Source: 9 months ago

• Should i switch to ten finger typing?

  You should absolutely continue learning 10 finger typing on typingstudy.com typing.com typingclub.com or keybr.com or whatever site you're using. Being slow and inaccurate is a temporary state that you go through whilst you're learning, yet everyone who asks the same question as you have phrases it in a way that makes it sound like it's a permanent state that they will never get out of i.e. Their destined to stay...

• Long time lurker, first time poster... My WFH / Gaming home office.

  If you touch type, then it's not a bad transition. Sites like keybr.com and monkeytype are helpful tools for getting there. Committing 30 minutes a day (here and there throughout the day) to practicing has really helped. I'm about 6 months into the Moonlander and absolutely love it. Still playing around with custom key layouts, but I love to tinker so it's fun for me. Source: 10 months ago

• Help me to increase my speed of typing

  First question is can you touch type? That means can you type without looking down at the keyboard. It doesn't matter how many fingers you use. It's never having to look that matters. If not I would recommend that you go to typingstudy.com or keybr.com. Source: 11 months ago

• What websites are best for getting better at typing?

  There are sites like typing.com, typingclub.com, ratatype.com, typingstudy.com and keybr.com which are all designed to help people learn to touch type. Their purpose is to take someone who has to look down at the keyboard and "hunt and peck" at the keys in order to type, and get them to the point where they don't need to look at the keyboard at all when they type.

• Finding the Flow in Typing

  Ultimately, once you have completed keybr.com and you move on to other sites, all that you'll ever really be doing is repeatedly typing words over and over again. As long as that selection of words is reasonable big and you're always trying to be as accurate as you can, you'll be fine. Source: 11 months ago

• i skipped ahead and cheesed the final lesson of typing club using two fingers. is typingclubs home row style worth learning anyway?

  If you read any typing guide or watch any video on the subject, the first thing thta they all say, and the first thing that they all agree on, even if there's a whole bunch of things they don't agree on, is that you should follow something like typing.com, typingclub.com, ratatype.com or keybr.com to learn to touch type with all your fingers and so that you never have to look down at the keyboard.
