My computer lab teacher gave this nugget to help us type faster and it was AMAZING!!! He is a huge Star Wars nerd and would quote an old Jedi saying "Slow is fast. Fast is slow." To speed up your typing, type 'slow'. It sounds wrong but actually is true when practiced. You'll notice when you type when you make a mistake it knocks down your wpm. If you don't make a mistake by typing slowly it raises your wpm. Eventually, you'll get faster by typing slow because you're organically getting faster because you're improving technique and getting the motions deep into your muscle memory.

Great video. I'm 48 and learning to touch type for the first time after being horribly frustrated with my typing speed for years and years. I'm doing pretty good so far but your video was still inspiring and entertaining. Thanks n

[benowa]

Great video! I personally started to train to type faster in December 2020, and I went from 60 WPM to 90-100 WPM now!
My advice would be to break your bad habits by forcing yourself to use all your fingers and not look at the keyboard. I would also recommend not descending below 96% accuracy, and if this is the case just slow down! And if you come to a point where you are stuck, to let's say 90 WPM, try to type faster (even if you make mistakes) to accustom your fingers to a greater speed!
Also, I don't know why, but I type faster when I am listening to something (I've actually beaten my record while listening to this video and done 104 WPM with 97% accuracy). 🚀

Tech lead: Im a millionaire
Joma: i have 15 faang offers
Harshibar: 125 wpm typing 😌

[leonardoyz]

I've been practicing every day for 5 months, now I'm managing to reach 77 ~ 80 wpm consistent in TypeRacer
and 10FastFingers. 😄 nice video btw

I have been practising blind typing for 1~1.5 years, and now I am able reach 60 wpm. Feel very proud, though I still have a very long way to go in order to polish my skill. Keep going guys, it pays off, I remember how at the very beginning I struggled even to learn how to type 4 letters…

[tylerdurden]

it comes by practice 1 yr ago my speed is 25-30 wpm now it is 55-60 wpm. Hope one day I'll match your speed harshi. !!

[journeywithjk]

Yup !! Practice makes everything easy :) it's been one year my speed wpm changed from 50 to 90 :)

I literally got crush with your video edits :) the way you edits all your are fantastic 💥

Tips that really helped me get ny typing speed up, positions of fingers should be correct and more focus on accuracy rather than speed

[mohamedsayed]

i have been doing this since last year and i started at 36 ended at 110 a full year

[govindkumarraj]

Conclusion of lots of practice
Well ..namskarm from bihar

[CorruptSkills]

last year in school i practiced typing every time i had a break and by the end of the year i had come from 15 words per minute to averaging 47 through 62 words per minute. i know that isnt fast but that still is a big upgrade from when i started and now i never have to look at the keyboard.

[rithzu]

I've been practicing typing for almost 8 month...started from avg(18 wpm)..and now its (76 wpm)

[cupoftea]

2 months of learning from 11 WPM to 46 WPM 😂🙈

[BrianFischer]

I am having nostalgic flashbacks seeing that orange cover. It was not fun doing it, but today I'm glad I learned it way back then.

[tonyherring]

I also recommend taking breaks when typing. I tried to increase my typing speed too fast without taking breaks and I developed long-term pain in both my wrists

[BlueCourtingBooks]

As an author, I find myself typing way too fast. My thoughts formulate faster than my fingers can produce. When I go back and read what I wrote I realize that I've made a myriad of mistakes. Thanks for this video.

[Nedoris]

I don't know why this comes in my recommendations since the past week!

[eliet]

Very good point! Speed is not always necessary. Like in real life scenarios, we type because we are writing something from our own mind, rather than typing what the words in front of us. Thanks for this realization.

I'm at 100wpm with two finger typing, but I'm trying to learn touch typing for university as I feel like it might increase my speed :) I'm starting at 30wpm and I'm actually improving pretty quickly. Also touch typing is so much less exhausting than using only two fingers haha.
