I can average over 85wpm when typing English sentences in typing games.
But outside that, I find I can’t really think meaningfully and simultaneously type that quickly for a sustained amount of time.
Maybe very fast typing speeds are more useful to stenographers?
- perching_aix 2y agoI would agree with something like that, that e.g. it's only useful when you have a set text ready that you want typed in. Personally I clock in around 110 wpm at my fastest (in English), and I'll only reach that in practice when I have intense disagreements with people over the internet (colleagues, friends or randoms). Outside of that, it's barely useful.
- sadeshmukh 2y agoStenographers have special keyboards that type phrases, not keys, so their speed is also extremely fast due to only a subset of character combinations needed.
- dharmab 2y agoThere are a small number of people who use standard keyboards for stenography: https://www.openstenoproject.org/plover https://www.openstenoproject.org/plover That said, I don't know if any work as professional stenographers.
