I used to be over 100 wpm, but I type all day on a completely different style of keyboard, and I've slowed down quite a bit because of that.

I hate typing on the laptop... 48 WPM
Don't like typing words that don't make sentences, either. I can't get any flow....

^^ Apparently, unlimited groupies are not the only byproduct of a life lived as a professional keyboard player!

Not as fast as I thought.

With or without a Dvorak keyboard?

Quote:

Writer Barbara Blackburn was the fastest English language typist in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. Using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, she was able to maintain 150 words per minute (wpm) for 50 minutes, and 170 wpm for shorter periods. She has been clocked at a peak speed of 212 wpm. Blackburn, who failed her QWERTY typing class in high school, first encountered the Dvorak keyboard in 1938, quickly learned to achieve very high speeds, and occasionally toured giving speed-typing demonstrations during her secretarial career. Blackburn died in April 2008.[16]

Quote:

In 1933, Dvorak started entering typists trained on his keyboard into the International Commercial Schools Contest, which were typing contests sponsored by typewriter manufacturers consisting of professional and amateur contests. The professional contests had typists sponsored by typewriter companies to advertise their machines. Ten times from 1934 to 1941, Dvorak's typists won first in their class events[citation needed]. In the 1935 contest alone, nine Dvorak typists won twenty awards[citation needed]. Dvorak typists were so successful that in 1937 the Contest Committee barred Dvorak's typists for being "unfair competition"[citation needed] until Dvorak protested. In addition, QWERTY typists did not want to be placed near Dvorak typists because QWERTY typists were disconcerted by the noise produced from the fast typing speeds made by Dvorak typists.[11]
