The 0rkut app gives an annoying Image as a security test for any speed clocked over 100wpm .
I think i have calibrated the best combination of frequency and delay, to give you anywhere between 85 and 95 ( This depends upon the size of the text, and when you start typing )
The settings are :
Frequency : 115
Delay : 2

The delay has been reduced and so achieve a constant speed from the beginning

you talked about 110? using a bot, my average speed is only 72 words per mintue but without any of this my highest was 116, so it is possible,

I’ve clocked 101 on typeracer as my top score so far, but I reckon that I could possibly clock 110. I was wondering how you lot above who said they had got 150s managed to clock that? Cause I cant seem to get any higher than 110, my top score on a different test (with far less punctuation!) And the image idea is good, it means that the only people who can get away with using bots is the people who can actually type

Some people just type and don’t notice how fast they are typing. This happens to me a lot, because I don’t pay attention to how fast I type, but if I stop at a fast pace and look at the essay, I sure do surprise myself.

Yeah, my average score is 114 WPM, and I definitely don’t cheat.

Some people mysteriously do very badly for most of the race and then suddenly end with scores like 160 WPM, which I find more suspicious…

Thanks Jithin.

The fastest typer in the world was.. Barbara something-rather, and she clocked 212wpm as her fastest ever. Mind you, it was on a dvorak keyboard, whereas almost all of us these days use qwerty.

^^^^^^
Yes, indeed very few can clock speeds above 100wpm. I did not believe that people could in fact type at speeds above 100. That’s why I thought that only bots could clock above 100wpm. It’s great to hear that you can clock speeds of 150! That’s wonderful!

Hmm, you mention the other user was trying to overtake your bot at 110wpm. How do you specifically know it was a bot, too? Quite a few people can type at above 100wpm, for example, my highest score on typeracer has been 151wpm. Right now though, another user just scored 165, and I doubt she’s a bot because it seems quite possible, plus, much like me, she has a high average score.

Now, if her average speed was.. 50, and suddenly she got 165, then yes I’d be slightly suspicious, hehe. But seeing as how we type at similar speeds, I think it’s definitely possible that your competitor was typing at 110wpm as well.
