How can I test my typing speed? (self.Blind)
submitted by PungentMushrooms
I want to test how many words per minute I can type on a computer keyboard but from what I can tell, most of the tests involve reading a text and typing it out as fast as you can. Does anyone hear no an alternative that us blind folk can use?

My vision teacher has recommended me one of those talking ones so I'll ask her what it's called so I can let you know.

am I missing something obvious? open a word processor. set a 60 second timer. type. run a word count when the timer goes off.

Yeah, I guess that would work. Only thing is that I'd have to check afterwards and see how many spelling mistakes I've made

Ttrs think it stands for touch type read spell

It calls out the word, or letter it wants to to type

My VI daughter is using it to learn touch typing
