HOW FAST YOU CAN TYPE?

STILL THE WINNING HUMAN TO MACHINE INTERFACE

Multiple times. But as a matter of fact, you still cannot dictate something as well as you could type it. Of course, you can input a “rough cut”, but then you later have to add all the correct punctuation. Correct the mistakes you made and the mistakes Google made when recognizing your voice and

Is a skill you definitely have to master not only when speaking. But more and more it is essential to also be able to just plainly

Because there is another serious problem with voice recognition: you are speaking all the time. When writing, you are not. Therefore you can write whatever you want, but the people sitting next to you on the bus won’t hear you speaking these ideas into text.

Typing is of course also not entirely private. There still is the problem of someone peaking over your shoulder into your notebook or phone screen. But it’s much harder. Can be done by fewer people. Because listening, for the most part, is a passive thing, peeking over one’s shoulder to read their text messages is

But enough about the differences and disadvantages between typing itself and “speech-to-text” — input.

English-speaking humans usually speak about 200–250 words per minute. Assuming you want a solution for your input on the same level as your speaking speed: then

Or in short: 250 WPM. That would change your life drastically. You could write a typical blogpost of mine, roughly about 1000 words: in 4 minutes. Write video scripts for your YouTube channel, aquivalent to 10 minutes of voicover in

10 Minutes. But as you just guessed it, writing or typing for that matter is only one part of the equation. The other one is:

The input for the typing so to speak. And how fast you think is kind of: uncapped. Up to a certain point. At least it is more uncapped than your speaking speed, since you don’t have to put your thoughts through the physical production of voice, don’t have to pronounce it and therefore theoretically

Than how fast you can speak. It’s just a few constraints less. Now, there is this problem of, are you actually

Some of us do. Some of us don’t. Chances are, the better you already are at this speaking thing, the more pronounced your backend in your brain already is. If you often struggle to find the right words, then chances are you aren’t thinking as much in words as someone

In every single movie. That said: the human brain can theoretically process up to

And that’s an entirely different story. Just think about the possibility. A typical 100 000 words book written in about 15 min. Theoretically, because you know as well as I do, what comes out of your

Winning Pullitzer prizes left and right. That said, these are the theoretical constraints for the current situation we are all kind of stuck in. Putting information from our

The big question you gotta ask yourself now: if you want to increase the overall output, which of these variables should be tackled first? And would make the biggest or even better: the fastest improvement? You guessed it

Here is what you need to do. First: learn the best system humans came up with till now and learn how to write with 10 fingers. Of course, you theoretically could also type fast with two fingers, but let*s face it, if you could type fast with two fingers, chances are, if you put the same effort into

Fast fingers, your output words per minute would probably increase.. The first thing you need to know:

is a thing you find out by taking a test on this nice webpage. You can choose your language and it makes you type the most common words in each language. You can also extend the word sets to larger ones if you would like, just like you and your fast fingers, it’s called

is your typing speed, But be aware: you are probably trying harder when taking the test than when usually typing and actually also having to process thinking at the same time. When taking a test, you basically

And get something around 50 words per minute. The average speed for the average Joe. Ali Abdaal, a YouTuber typing very fast videos about typing speed and then filming them,

I don’t. My record score is currently: 77 WPM. Comment your score in the comments of this blog, podcast, video and let*s compete and compare!

And this shows. Since I already hit that mark of around 70 words per minute six years ago. And typing is a blogger’s bread and butter. Also: after first upping my typing speed years ago, I realized, my thinking adapted pretty soon and I actually could not only type faster, but

And therefore increase both the variables “typing speed” as well as “thinking speed”. Therefore also get more focuses. And also increasing the ability

But taking tests is only one part of the equation. Training is another. There is this website, that trains your weak points and adapts to it. Also for free

Should be able not only to be able to assess where you currently at but also improve and therefore: improve your overall output or productivity, since typing speed probably is a key variable you wanna up in order to

Since the human brain is basically very adaptable, thinking speeds of something like 1000 words per minute are probably indeed possible. Not only in the future, but also already these days. If the average these days is 800, chances are, this isn’t everybody’s thinking speed, but much

meaning, indivuduals already deviate from thje 800 in both directions. The

Would be to type as fast as you can think. Aiming at 800 or even 1000 words per minute. Just think about what doors this would open up
