Typing Trivia

What is the record speed for typing?
Mrs. Barbara Blackburn of Salem, Oregon maintained a speed of 150 wpm for 50 min (37,500 key strokes) and attained a speed of 170 wpm using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (DSK) system. Her top speed was recorded at 212 wpm.¹

"Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand and "lollipop" with your right.

The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet.

The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.

TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.
