I really didn't anticipate this scenario. I can type in English quite well, although I can't do it without looking at the keyboard. But I can tell you which part of the keyboard a particular symbol is located on. Also, if anyone reads this message before voting, please, if you don't have blind ten-finger typing skills but can still type without looking, don't choose that option. Choose option 3 instead.

I know that game))) I used to play it in school, during lessons, haha... It was difficult back then... I wonder how it would go now...
It teaches the ten-finger blind typing method, and I can't find it anywhere now, but I need to learn it, even though it's in English...

I type by looking at the keyboard, so I'm not very fast.

I type at a normal speed (about 100 characters per minute). But I occasionally glance at the keyboard, which slightly bothers me (((((.

I used to learn touch typing... but it didn't work out.
However, something stuck with me.
I type while looking at the keyboard, but not too slowly.

In general, some people who master it can type at a very high speed, reaching up to 600 characters per minute (unfortunately, I don't remember the world record for typing speed), which is much faster than regular typing.

A joke came to mind :) A girl comes to apply for a job as a secretary-typist. She is asked:
- What is your typing speed in characters per minute?
- Well, about three thousand...
Everyone is shocked and says:
- Is that even possible?
And she says:
- Of course, it's possible, but the result is just nonsense...

I myself studied the solo method at one time, but I didn't have enough patience. I type using my own method. My speed is about 200-250 characters per minute, which is fine with me. Years of training helped :) I had to type a lot of texts.

P.S. Where is that test, the results of which many people post here?

I type very fast and without looking at the keyboard... (well, I glance at it occasionally...). I also tried the solo method once... but it didn't help... what really made a difference was a lot of practice communicating in various chats, etc.... ;);)

I mostly log in from my mobile, and I also use my mobile for ICQ, and as a result, I type faster on my phone than on a keyboard.
Hehe))) That's outdated information. My phone has been lying around without a battery for several months now (I haven't had the time to buy a new one, and even if I did, I'd start getting distracted on ICQ and this forum during class, which wouldn't be good for my studies), so now I'm using the third option from the top.

I don't know my typing speed; I type by looking at both the keyboard and the screen. I type quite a lot, as it's part of my job. 4-6 fingers are involved in the typing process. Like many others, I started by typing with one finger, reached exercise 40, and then stopped because my vacation ended. After that, it was back to work and more text. In "Solo," it's mentioned that it's better not to type while playing. Perhaps that's why I stopped.

Once I'm recharged, I type very quickly, but I have to look at the keyboard.

It says in the "Solo" section that it's better not to type while playing. Maybe that's why I quit.
Yeah, that's true... But when I was playing, I didn't even have internet access, let alone unlimited data and an ICQ client)) And then, for quite a while, the skills weren't really useful (I don't know why I played it, but now I can really feel the benefits :D), and I forgot them. I want to play it again, because I often make typos, and I've been typing with typos for about half a year... maybe it will help? :)

I'm basically teaching my cat how to type :D. He's always running around on the keyboard :D, so let the animals develop too.

Hehe) Outdated information. The phone has been lying around without a battery for several months now (I haven't had the time to buy a new one, and even if I did, I'd start getting distracted on ICQ and on that same forum, which wouldn't be good for my studies))) so right now, the third option from the top is the most accurate.
And this is also outdated information)))) I recently completed the latest version solo using only the keyboard, and currently, I am proficient in the blind ten-finger typing method. True, I don't practice much, and I still make mistakes, but I hope this is only temporary. So, in my opinion, learning the blind method is a worthwhile endeavor, and it would be very useful for those who spend a lot of time on ICQ and forums))))

I type quickly, looking at the keyboard; I can also type without looking, but it's slower. I studied programming using Stamina.
