I started in middle school we had a computer lab class that taught basic stuff like word, excel, powerpoint and very little coding. But now whenever I want to procrastinate or look productive I come on here. I'm 18 by the way and have a 70 wmp.

I started typing 4 years ago but I was not that serious to increase my speed. but from the past 5 months I am daily giving time for typing and now my speed is almost 75 wpm average. btw I'm 21.

I'm 19 as well. Started typing 3 years ago.

Learned touch-typing in school, that was about 6 years ago, now I'm 17 and got 150wpm+ on quotes and 200wpm+ on 1 minute typing tests.

Turned 15 a couple of weeks ago, I've been using typing sites for a bit over 2 years now, and average 105 wpm; I only use 2/3 fingers though

I'm 38. I never took typing in school and had to look at the keyboard to type up until about 4 months ago. I made a conscious effort to learn to touch-type. I made it up to about 50 wpm consistently until I realized that the QWERTY system is horribly inefficient. I switched to Dvorak a couple months ago. I struggled at first, getting 25 wpm on a good run, but I kept practicing. I just beat my highest score this morning with 80.64 wpm. It's not quite where I want to be, as I would eventually like to get to 100 wpm consistently... but I'm happy with my progress so far.

I started learning to touch type back in Grade 3/4, so when I was 8, and now I'm 12

Congratulations on learning how to touch-type! With practice, you will get to 100 wpm very quickly.

We learned touch typing in elementary school with those dreaded orange jelly keyboard coverings. I was around 8 or 9 and they really drilled it into us so I didn't have to go back and learn again. I'm 26 now. Do they still do that in school?

I'm 34 and as of two weeks ago I wasn't really able to type without looking and more or less just pecked away at the keys. As of today I am averaging about 25 WPM. I started on typing.com and eventually found this site.

I am about to turn 25 in a month. I found this site when I was 17. I wanted to get better at typing because first and foremost, it's a useful skill in my life. School, work, and otherwise. I was DEEP into it when I found the site and it really expedited the process of committing the keyboard layout to muscle memory. I know how to type with "proper form" but honestly don't even really use it in my daily life. I come back to the site every now and then to test myself when I feel rusty

I remember getting free time in 2nd grade to do typing on the shared class computer if I got done with my work early. Since then I've always loved typing, and now 21, a senior in college.

I'm 18 years old! Typing is sort of a hobby for me.

Im 20. I just started on here cause of my new job. I want to get better at typing :)

I'm 1.

and I'm happy.
