Does it make sense to learn the 10-finger system if…?

…when I've been averaging 120-130 words per minute for years with my strange typing style?

But I feel completely stupid when I type differently when working systematically in a company. I'm a business student and spend a lot of time on my laptop/PC.

It may be that you are faster, but certainly not at the beginning. This takes a long time until you no longer fall into your own habit and if you are also fast with your own system … But: 130 words per minute – attacks yes, that is loose in it, but words is unrealistic.

I decided on the same question: No, it doesn’t make sense.

It’s practical to write blind.

But I personally do not use a “perfect” ten finger system.

Nevertheless, the basic attitude, etc., I actually think one so I just looked after it. my fingers are automatically over asdf and jklö.

But as I said. I don’t think so 100%. I was already a little boy on the PC and have always chatted a lot etc. also in games.

At some point, you just learn to write VERY fast and that’s “blind”. So without having to lenses.

Quite simply because you probably know the entire keyboard better than anything else when you’ve been sitting there for 28 years XD

God I’m old…

I never really understood the 10-finger system. Why is it so important to press on the buttons? I’ve always tipped my own way and was the fastest. Everyone has his own way of doing things. I don’t know how important the 10-finger system is, but I honestly find it a bit exaggerated.

That’s pretty easy to explain. The ten-finger system allows blind to write. The typewriter was actually originally invented for the blind. In the 19th century

Since I actually learned this at school, I can write blindly.

I can write so blindly without looking. But makes sense

You can tap error-free without ever looking at the buttons? I’m sorry I don’t think so.

Learning the 10 finger system only makes sense when it comes to benefits. For example, write blindly what you just left elsewhere.

With your system, you are much faster than the 10 finger system. This may allow 300 stops per minute if you are fixed, that would be about 50 words.

It also has the advantage that it loads all 10 fingers. There are people who create similar with their own 2 finger system, but this could be more unhealthy in the long term.

I can’t but also write it so quickly and error-free with my own Svenja system 😂 And even blind is possible so the 🙂

Hello,

I found it very practical to use the ten fingers my two hands offer for writing machines. And so I could write these lines blindly with my ten fingers. But whoever uses the keyboard in another way is to use his own method!

So am I. Clear NO!

In 5-10 years you will become NIEMALS as fast as with your own system. I speak from experience. I am one who manages 115+ WPM and never worked in the 10-finger system, even though I learn SOLLTE in training.

120 words per minute?!?

I don’t believe that. That would be two words a second! World record!

At the online world championships 2020, 10 minutes international 7801 stops for three mistakes of Celal Aşkın in Turkish language and thus the first place reached.

So make 780 stops a minute. One word has a dozen 6 letters, so it requires 7 stops (because spaces) so this world recorder would be at 111-130 (130 without the spaces) WPM.

So much for that.

Asks why not many have this world record…

I don’t think so.

“yes yes” may just go in 1 second or two.

No, when measuring the WPM, whole sentences are ribbed with big and small spells and no consistent words.

My tip record is also 118 WPM. This is not unusual and yes, there are also people who tap 150+ WPM. But you play at speed already in the top 3% of the fastest tips with…

That’s right. With the right exercise it probably went faster with 10 fingers.

BWL Student or Commercial Training: Learning the 10-finger system is unnecessary if you can achieve much higher WPM with your own system.

And the reality of a BWL student is not what happens in such tests.

No, we should take as a basis the questioner’s question and not assume normal reality, because we only write on this basis.

These tests are useless in practice. For example, it’s a minute. Sure, you can do more theoretically. But if you tap all day, that’s different. We should go out here with such a question of everyday life, normal reality and not a one-time result, for which in the best case the text has already been practiced 50 times, or in tests only with words, the usual words. …

You compare apples with pears. We are talking about the usual WPM tests that test the WPM within a minute. 30 minutes we would probably land well below 100 WPM because we could never be so focused for so long. If you don’t know how these tests work, you should make yourself smart instead of staring at us.

There’s no one here talking about world champion tests based on a 30-minute run!

And in a minute, the WPM can be significantly higher than a long-term test of 30 minutes, but you could also think that if you were informed.

Especially when studying, you write very little simple sentences.

Look how long you really need to, for example:

The gross domestic product of the Syrian state is around 8.98 billion US dollars. …

Helena Matouskova, current world record holder from Prague, has the first place in the world championships in Rome in 2003 (30-minute writing, 27.853 attacks, 0.03% error) with 955 stops per minute achieved.

You can googlen.

So, 928.4 correct attacks per minute, then at the average word (5.97) plus simply calculated 1.1 phrases (which with spaces and interpointion I think a realistic if rather too small number) between, 131 words per minute.

Sure, you’re all world recorders.

Then don’t think you’re wrong. Whatever you think or don’t believe changes the facts.

There are various online sites where you can tap against other tips. There are also bots that take it, but there are definitely people who easily create 130 WPM. And they’re not world champions.

I know. But this is completely unrealistic to go out from 130, not even the world champion of 2020, as I have just pre-justified to the FS.
