Between 60-70 WPM here. Mind you, I can make a couple of typo's and still correct them within that time.

That said though, it depends what kind of words you're typing.

I shall have to hark back a bit. And taking it for all in all and weighing this against that, I suppose the affair may be said to have had its inception, if inception is teh word I want, with that visit of mine to Cannes. If I hadn't gone to Cannes, I shouldn't have met the Bassett or bought that white mess jacket, and Angela wouldn't have met her shark, and Aunt Dahlia wouldn't have played baccarat. Yes, most decidedly, Cannes was the _point d'appui._ Right ho, then. Let me marshal my facts. Teh. Figures

Got 67wpm on that speed test program. However, this was on my Wind netbook and its teeny-tiny keyboard.

Now, luck yet sends us, and a little wit Will serve to make our play hit; According to the palates of the season, Here is rhime, not empty of reason. This we were bid to credit from our poet, WHose true scope, if you would know it, In all his poems still hath been this measure, To mix profit with your pleasure; And not as some, whose throats their envy failing, Cry hoarsely, All he writes his plays come forth, think they can flout them, With saying, he was a year about them.

I am usually quicker than this on a standard keyboard. This was done on my laptop balanced on my knee in my comfy armchair.

Your speed was: 95wpm.

You made 1 mistake, your mistake is shown in bold text:

Of course there wasa Great House at Allington. How otherwise should there have been a Small House? Our story will, as its name imports, have its closest relations with those who lived in the less dignified domicile of the two; but it will have close relations also with the more dignified, and it may be well that I should, in the first instance, say a few words as to the Great House and its owner. The squires of Allington had been squires of Allington since squires, such as squires are now, were first known in England. From father to son, and from uncle to nephew. I type faster than that though. This is a difficult text to copy, especially since I had trouble reading it quickly enough (not native English). Also, wtf are squires, I had typed "squares" and edited that within the timeframe.

That is usually one of my biggest problems with tests like this. I am not a terribly fast reader, and it limits my typing ability when I am copying stuff. I usually hit around 65 on those kind of tests.

haha yeah its so true... these typing tests use some of the most obscure sentences! Nobody in their right mind would type that crap.

If copying text, this is my average speed, but if typing from the mind it is usually a lot faster as I don't have to spend much time processing what I see. None the less, I rarely look down at the keyboard, as it does waste time.

Squires are men who in the olden days used to own most of the land around a village.

My record is 129 WPM on typingtest.com
I would say my average is around 90-105WPM, I never usually drop into the 80's.

Your speed was: 84wpm.

You made 2 mistakes, your mistakes are shown in bold text:

Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. There are circumstances in which, whether you partake of the tea or not -some people of course never do -the situation is in itself delightful. Those that I have in mind in beginning to unfold this simple history offered an admirable setting to an innocent pastime. The implements of the little feast had been disposed upon the lawn of an Old English country-house, in what I should call the perfect middle of a splendid summer afternoon. Part of the afternoon had waned, but much of it was left, and what was left was of the finest and rarest quality


I think I can actually type faster when thinking from my mind instead of having to copy something

Congratulations! You made no mistakes, practice does make perfect.

It was lovely, thought Mrs. Miniver, nodding good-bye to the flower-woman and carrying her big sheaf of chrysanthemums down the street with a kind of ceremonious joy, as though it were a cornucopia; it was lovely, this settling down again, this tidying away of the summer into its box, this taking up of the thread of one's life where the holidays (irrelevant interlude) had made one drop it. Not that she didn't enjoy the holidays: but she always felt - and it was, perhaps, the measure of her peculiar happiness - a little relieved when they were over. Her normal life pleased her so well that she was half afraid to step out of its frame in case one day she should find herself unable to get back. As with others, pretty sure I'd be faster if I was typing from my head / being dictated too.
