Re: BPO job requires 50 WPM, I currently type 42. How fast can I realistically improve?
19 votesAccuracy first, speed second. Their 90% accuracy requirement is the harder bar. If you can hit 95% at 42 WPM consistently, the speed will come — pushing speed at the expense of accuracy will tank your test.
Re: Are online typing competitions actually worth entering, or pure vanity?
✓ Accepted16 votesMade the top 100 on Typeracer two years ago. Put it on my resume. Got a transcription contract specifically because of it — client was a typing nerd. Pure niche signal, but real.
Re: What's the best typing test format to prep for a data-entry interview?
22 votesAlso: most data-entry assessments use punctuation- and number-heavy text, not the prose-only word lists most online tests use. Hunt down a numbers-included test format and practice on that specifically. The accuracy bar is the harder one — 95% is tight under time pressure.
Re: Best split ergonomic keyboard for fast typists in 2026?
✓ Accepted31 votesVoyager if you want flat + small + portable. Advantage 360 if you want concave keywells and the strongest ergonomic case (literally — they have published medical case studies). Avoid the Moonlander for new ergo users — the tenting + ortholinear combination is a 2-3 month relearn. Q11 is the budget-friendly entry but its layout is closer to a regular keyboard, so the ergo benefit is partial. For pure speed retention with strong ergonomics, my pick is the Voyager.
