Typing speed and technique is correlated with better memory, faster coding, and the desired skill for most data entry jobs. How to improve memory, code faster, and excel at data-entry jobs with typing practice Usually, numerical or text-based data - including addresses, names, company names, and Social Security numbers - are requested to be inputted rapidly and accurately. Another type of test is looking at data entry in fields with high accuracy.

These audio transcriptions are looking to test the understanding of spoken language and the text’s accuracy. Some typing tests refer to transcripts and analyze the ability to turn spoken words into an accurate written recording. While I appreciate the exercise aspect of random, un-connected words, I think typing quotes is a bit more useful to my own real-world use-cases for typing.Ĭonsidering that a.) I very nearly failed typing class in school and b.) I have nerve damage that affects both sensation and motor-control in my right hand, I’m pretty darn happy with cruising in the 80’s / 90’s these days.Typing tests vary depending on the type of text imputed while typing some include a normal text passage typically containing a few numbers or a few simple symbols - such as quotation marks and question marks. I love all the options the site has, especially the quote mode. I also started using monkeytype more recently, and that was a bit of a reality-check after not factoring punctuation, etc. When I first started using it some time in the past year or so, I was averaging in the 80’s by their measure (with 90-ish accuracy), and have improved that comfortably into the 110’s (with 100% accuracy), 130’s if I’m really on it. On typings.gg, I use the default setting with no punctuation, just a random string of generally simple words. Numbers and some symbols slow me down quite a bit, and as you might be able to see on the chart there, errors throw me for a loop and I take a moment to recover and get back in the flow.


Real-world and on-average, I’m probably closer to high 80’s - low 90’s. This is the better side of how I do when I’m able to maintain my focus.
