How to type faster

Most typists can add 10 to 20 WPM in a few months. These are the changes that matter most.

Find your weak spots

1. Get accuracy above 96% first. Every mistake costs a Backspace and a pause. Fixing mistakes is the biggest hidden cost for most typists.
2. Practise your slow letter pairs. Two or three pairs often cost more than everything else. The results page shows yours.
3. Stop looking at the keyboard. Touch typing feels slower for a week or two, then overtakes.
4. Keep a steady rhythm. Even speed beats bursts and stops.
5. Start words without hesitating. Read one word ahead while you type the current one.
6. Practise a little every day. Ten minutes daily beats an hour once a week.
7. Measure, then drill. Take a test, practise the weak spots it found, test again.
