In 2013, we created Ratatype to help everyone improve their touch typing skills. Nowadays more than 600,000 people visit our website every single month and that number got us wondering: how has learning to touch type changed their lives and what do they get from using our typing tutor? To satisfy our curiosity, we conducted a typing speed study.
We have analyzed activity of 350,000 Ratatype users and found out that practice is the main thing that speeds up your typing. By comparing certification results and the amount of completed lessons we found out that the more lessons you take the better is your typing speed. Of course, if your keyboard works correctly and all keys are pressed as they should.
Numerically speaking, you can increase your normal touch typing speed by up to 15% simply by completing all of the typing lessons available on our site. Additionally, typing accuracy increases as well, meaning that you save time by making fewer mistakes.
Take a typing test to find out how good you are now.
