oh wait play this site
this is the new popular one

here's my typing resume

Typing of the Dead

>>51609097
https://www.typingclub.com (free version) is good to learn the key positions. I prefer https://www.keybr.com for speed. Since it makes you type gibberish, it doesn't limit your typing ability to common words like most websites.

>>51609097
There are open source typing programs out there. Don't waste your money on Mavis Beacon.

>>51609470
lol who fucking cares about typing fast, might be the worthless skill one could dedicate himself to, and I say that as someone who can type 130 WPM because I've spent my life on a PC.

>>51609227
I use only my index finger and I type 130wpm lol

>>51609205
>>51609390
They also use TikTok as a search engine.

30 seconds means nothing chuds
try typing for 5 minutes straight and actual text with symbols

Unless you are a stenographer or a time traveling woman from the 1960s, there's no financial value in learning to speedtype.
That said, just as a general practical skill I do think it's valuable to learn to type without looking at the keyboard, which does take some time and practice.

Touch typing is for fags. I use Homerow.

140 wpm here

Been a transcriber for 8 years. Currently earning 90k AUD.

Amazon hires people to transcribe audio they collect from Alexa.

>>51609097
What the fuck is this. I'm a 80s millennial and we learned this 5 grade through high school in the 90s. Who doesn't know this? Is there another way to type. I thought the only other type styles was boomer with chicken plucking finger typing like a retard. Hahaha.

>>51611364
So like he said, no financial value

>>51610719
Are you seriously arguing that there is no money-related benefits to learning to type with all your fingers and without looking at the keyboard? What the fuck it’s like hearing the boomers complain about keyboards in the early 2000s all over again

>>51609205
>>51609097
They taught me how to touch type in high school. Sad.

>>51611492
I had to log in at a company for some remote access, and I sat down and logged in with the keyboard and using tab no mouse without looking in 2 secs. The access was denied, the zoomers next to me blamed not looking at the keyboard. Then they came back and said the server was down. Did it again, same way, they got mad that I wasn't looking. Logged right in. They looked mad, and still said next time type slower and look at the words I type. I laughed at how retarded they are. Zoomer managers are the worst they are only hired so boomer ceos and bosses can get blow jobs from young whores. Clownworld.

>>51611624
That’s fucking wild the zoom zooms we’re worried about you not staring at your hands while you typed but I totally believe it. I’ve seen the same or similar reactions when moving through Microsoft office programs without a mouse

>>51609127
how much did he study for the interview?

>>51612782
>win+e to open explorer
>win+'chrome' to open browser
>opening programs through the run prompt
>alt-tabs
They're always so mystified.

>touch typing
Wtf is the alternative supposed to be?

>>51612833
he grinded leettype medium and hard for 3 months

>>51613083
Staring at the keyboard while you look for the next letter to hit. I’m not joking. People do that and actually think it’s weird that you can know where everything is without looking like they don’t know what those bumps on F and J are for

>>51611492
> Are you seriously arguing that there is no money-related benefits to learning to type with all your fingers and without looking at the keyboard?
Yes.

>>51613143
Whats weird is when I was younger we would make fun of that way of typing because it was what the older generations did. we called it "hunt and peck"

>>51611145
I don't have arms.

>>51613257
How do you masturbate?

>>51613285
weed + spontaneous orgasms

Do some young people really not know how to type?

What the FUCK is this thread about? Can I make money from typing?


t. Soon to be 30 year old boomer

>>51609097
best typing game ever if you want to hone your skills is:
the typing of the dead

which is just house of the dead 2, except you type instead of shooting a plastic arcade gun
mavis beekon is boring af

I unironically type at 110 wpm 0 mistakes. How can I monetize this
>inb4 touch type analyst

>makes your keyboard typing obsolete

I'm only hitting 65 wpm but I havent had to type anything longer than a shitpost in ten years

If you can listen + type at a fast rate of speed, you can make decent money.

I mostly worked from home, got paid $1.20 usd per 100 words. It could average out to a good $30-35 usd an hour - plus being self-employed you can claim a bunch of shit on your taxes.a

The trouble starts when you have to start looking up medical spellings / names etc. Really slows you down.

You guys DO know how to type numbers without looking, right?

>>51609097
Mavis Beacon is good but I prefer Mario Teaches Typing and especially The Typing of the Dead (the first one, not the bawdy sequel).

>>51617961
>I mostly worked from home, got paid $1.20 usd per 100 words.
How do I find a gig like that? Honestly, this reads like one of those “I make $7000 a week working on my laptop from home” bot posts. Also I’m reminded that I missed out on those sweet $30/hr “COVID contact tracing” wfh jobs that just involved chilling out in your underwear and making a few phone calls.

>>51618290
Like from the normal hand position or like on the numberpad on the right side?
I can only do it on the numpad

>>51619331
Either one. My keyboard doesn't have a number pad so I learned to use the ones above the letters.

>>51619291
My first gig I got from keeping an eye on job sites for transcriptionist jobs, and found one doing court transcription.

For me, 140 wpm, all my autocorrect set up optimally, good audio, i could max out at a rate of about 35 usd an hour. And I would be up there with the fastest audio transcribers in the world, for sure.

What was also cool was they'd let us take on extra jobs and do them on nights/weekends So I could do as much work as I wanted really. I was working for 2 companies at the same time for a while there - one during the day one at night.

There are downsides: Sometimes you're waiting around with no typing to do or jobs get cancelled or whatever. Sometimes sound is bad, sometimes there's a bunch of arabic names. And if you want to type running courts on a same day turnaround, you gotta be there at exactly X time in the morning.

>>51610719
stenographers dont speedtype they program their stenograph to write shorthand. its more like playing an instrument

Learn Dvorak. Avoid the Colemak meme it was designed to be digestible to normshits.

Get a new keyboard that is:
- split
- columnar
- staggered
- low profile keys

Thank me later.
