▲ 87 ▼ What keyboard are you using and what is your WPM? (discuss.tchncs.de) submitted 2 years ago* by Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de to c/android@lemmy.world 68 comments fedilink hide all child comments Typing test: https://monkeytype.com I used Unexpected Keyboard Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect) I'm interested in how fast people who swipe type are. Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential "to be faster" than the standard keyboards?

It has perfext typing. Edit: I honestly don't know how anyone could praise an early beta keyboard with no autocorrect and no paricularly compelling features over OpenBoard. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (3 children) Yah, the Florisboard comments always weird me out. There isn't a chance in hell I'm using a keyboard without an autocorrect. Everyone must type perfectly with their thumbs except me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago I used to on physical keyboards. I would turn autocorrect on my LG Ally off because it was in the way more than anything else. Onscreen keyboards exist because god is dead and satan is in charge. permalink fedilink source parent [–] penguin_knight@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I don't type with autocorrect. Last time I checked it was around the same speed as me using swipe, ~76 wpm. I've recently started growing my nails so that has made it slightly harder. Not sure how people type with nails. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago Learn typing lol permalink fedilink source parent [–] bahcodad@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) What keyboard did you use to type that comment? Looks like the autocorrect doesn't work. Or was that unexpected keyboard? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) FlorisBoard, the one that so many comments are recommending. No idea why. It doesn't even have autocorrect yet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pantherina@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) You only need autocorrect if the keyboard is the wrong size, and florisboard can be adapted to your needs perfectly permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) That's quite the statement. My screen is only so wide, and you haven't seen how large my thumbs are. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bahcodad@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Im using florisboard, im getting used to not having autocorrect but i think im doing ok so far. I believe autocorrect is in beta permalink fedilink source parent [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Thats true. Maybe thumbkey is better for you? A standard keyboard is not made to use that space efficiently. But relying on some automated often tracking process to correct what you "actually wanted to say" is very strange. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) OpenBoard is FOSS and doesn't track you. You can disable the user dictionary if you consider that tracking. I know how to proofread. The vast majority of the time it chooses the word I meant, and it's trivial to fix the mistakes. Without it, I can't get through two words without a typo, as evidenced by my original comment. Caring that someone else requires autocorrect to be an effective communicator and calling their usage of it "very strange" is dick thing to say. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) There is no autocorrect on pen&paper or hardware keyboards. If keyboards are that bad that you need it, they are bad. Idk, it may just be because of the touchscreen. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) My physical keyboard buttons are a liiiiittle bigger than my on-screen ones.
