Tech Tip: Typing
This week I decided to test my typing speed and accuracy. I was curious because I was once told that I type really fast but I usually have to go back and fix any mistakes. I tried KeyHero and also tried and found another test, TypingTest. I got similar results for both, 49.14 WPM and 47 WPM, respectively. I liked KeyHero better because they take all of my errors into consideration. For TypingTest, if I just go back and fix my errors during the test then those errors are not counted. With KeyHero, I also get to see the mistakes that I made. My typing ability might have been affected because I felt pressured, but overall it was interesting to find out my speed.
Dora,
ReplyDeleteI too did the Typing Tech Tip. I tried the same tests you did, and had similar results. I seamed to make a lot of mistakes that spell check seams to fix for me on my own. It is amazing how computers can read what we are saying and change it to what we meant to say! It makes typing go so much faster because we don't have to take the time to fix typos are use apostrophes because the computer does it for us!
