How to Type 2x FASTER! | What I Learned Practicing Touch Typing for 30 Days

~GEAR~

In this video, I go over how to type faster on a keyboard using touch typing in hopes to reach Ali Abdaal level typing speed. Fast typing is such a useful skill (especially for students) and now is the perfect time to finally learn how to speed type. I learned fast typing from spending 30 days touch typing in my "typing for 30 days challenge" in which I tried to double my typing speed and double how fast I could type. Watch till the end to get all the tips on how to type fast and even avoid some of the mistakes I made practicing typing for 30 days straight.

Im at 50 wpm right now and I was at 30 wpm a month ago and still keeping at it
This helped me further my journey in also trying to get 100 wpm

[Omar-upjp]

This was amazing dude!, My top speed is 65wpm, but couldn't reach it again, was getting like 50-58wpm, This video gave me confidence to practice!

I've been practicing to increase my speed for a while too and i agree that accuracy is the biggest factor

[xMortalBlade]

i started learning touch typing on keybr today
my average was around 45 wpm with only index and middle finger
and i can tell you, it's a whole new experience (using your pinky is hard af)

[somnvm]

I would say, one thing, or two:
1)If you learn to type, do it properly, i tried 6-7 finger method for several years, I thought it was efficient, but when I started to do it 100% right, I slowed down to 12 wpm, but after 4 days I've bocome more accurate, and even faster tham before (1 hour on keybr everyday). Right finger placment has 100% mire patantiinal
2)Try to acheve accuracy, I mean make no mustake. Don't try to achieve super speed, do it in a cimfortable way, you should look calm. You might not believe it, but the most of my records were hit when I didn't try to type fast, I was concertrated.
P.s highly recommend you to use keybr and maximum text size, with punctuation signs on. That's how I do that, it's quite easy, quick to get used to, and handy.

This is the same experience on my touch typing journey to the word. Happy to see someone experience the same challenge. Also learn to type with proper finger placement and start from zero then increase your accuracy. Trust me ive been there and starrting your finger memory from scratch may be slow on first but will break that 90 wpm barrier.

Yo this is the first video I’ve seen from you and it was WAYY higher quality then what I expected. Great Job!! Also I was just wondering what editing software you use to edit your videos? Keep up the great work

6:49 and 7:01 there's your problem. Pro-tip always stick to one keyboard and try to use the same one to train your muscle memory. Instead of shuffling between laptop keyboard and external keyboard.

Each keyboard is different, if you keep shuffling the keyboards, you'll again take some time to re-adjust and recallibrate to the new keyboard and hence losing the flow.

Yea I just started 2 days ago and my progress has been good started at 9 wpm now at 18 in short sentences 40wpm it varies I got interested in this because my school work Composition writing essays

[gadgetsuggestnepal]

Yupp, the major thing you need to keep in mind is accuracy. Don't worry about your speed. When you see your speed is actually increasing along with your accuracy, then you will be amazed at some point in time. I was stuck on 55 wpm and the mistake I was doing is that I would try to force myself to type as fast as possible without giving a damn to my accuracy. Then I realized that this way it wouldn't work. So, after that, I mainly focused on my accuracy, to achieve not below the 98% of target on accuracy.

However, sometimes I would go below 98% accuracy and hit around 96%-97%. But, then as soon as I realize that my main goal is accuracy not speed, I would go back on my terms and try to maintain consistent accuracy.

Conclusion: Now, I am way above my previous speed of 55 wpm and reached the 65 wpm mark. At 55 wpm, my accuracy would be around 91%-93%. But at 65 wpm with the prime aim of the accuracy of 98% actually, my accuracy got better and better along with my speed and my accuracy is around 99% at the present context. If I complete 30 races of typing per day, my accuracy would be almost 99%-100% in more than 26 races on average and 98% for the rest of the races.

Note: I have used other platforms as well. But if you want to get the real feel of typing along with some toughness. Try type racer. This is the platform that I use. Plus my personal best is 86WPM with 98% accuracy and right now I am on average of 65WPM.

And, by the way, amazing video.

The advice about focussing on accuracy rather than speed is the best I've heard in videos about increasing typing speed (for a touch typist.)

[allkinds]

For such a small channel this is a really good video, no joke man. Some parts were a lil dragged out but overall i learned from it without cringing (which tbh nowadays is an achievement lmao). I can see you going places bro just dont give up on this!

[aterix]

Solid breakdown of what works and what works even better. Encouraged to keep trying.

[mikeyllo]

I don't know why I never thought of practicing typing on one screen while watching YouTube on another. This kept me more mentally stimulated enough to make me practice for longer periods.

I work as a programmer so im basically typing all day, and my natural typing technique involves all fingers on the left hand and generally 2 plus the pinky for the return or backspace key on the right hand, and i type 80 wpm with this technique. I’ve started to learn 10 finger typing now, and am at about that same initial plateau of around 60/70 wpm but its difficult to switch to this technique now for programming because its slower and all the different symbols on the right which are frequently used in programming have to be typed with the pinky, which is a pain to be honest because its so many keys for the least agile finger. Good to see that there is a way beyond this initial plateau so I will keep trying!

I've always typed on a phone all my life. Typing on keyboard feels so incredibly strange, i am at 16wpm when I'm looking at the keyboard. Recently started learning touch typing after watching this and it's hella fun!

[Neptoid]

It is not a combination of random letters. The letter frequency is boosted for what you need to work on while providing you with a proper sonority hierarchy and plausible phonetics transferred to spelling. That is very hard to do, advanced algorithms need to be formulated and data capture need to be at its peak. It is amazing. Don't treat it like it is random letter combinations, that is degrading

[pjjjjjjjjjjj]

Yeah i have been at 20-30 my entire life really and am working on it so instead of 20 or 22 wpm consistently with 88-92% accuracy now 25-27 sometimes right above 30 and 95+ accuracy
So I’m working to get 100 wpm

[hafix]

bro tysm it helped i did not know how to type with 10 fingers i used 2 fingers now i can type pretty fast

[habinashhariharan]

I am at 45 WPM now whereas I was only an averegae 30 last week ....Touch typing has helped me a lot when it comes to accuracy I would really love to see 90 or above one
