Zone Dactylo / Typing Zone

My name's Ron.. I'm from London and I'm a typist.. among other things .

I was having a go at that TypingManiac facebook game today, the game froze as I got almost 2 million and I couldn't be bothered to play again.. anyways, I looked on the discussion boards and somebody called Zoran (Markovic from the tables...) mentioned this website so I thought I'd have a look.

The speeds on here are crazy...I only managed 110 wpm on the permanent contest whereas the top speeds on here are 150 wpm+! Anyhow, I'll be hanging around because this website seems like a lot of fun, does make me feel kinda slow though . Do you guys all use a QWERTY keyboard by the way?

Welcome Ron!

110 is a very respectable speed, and I have a feeling you won't stop there, in fact it seems like you already reached 114 (Ron Smith?).

Most of the fastest typists on the English contest use QWERTY, though there are a few exceptions. David Pritts types on Dvorak, while the French typists like Jean-Didier Febvay (the webmaster) and Karen Koulakian use AZERTY.

If you were wondering whether using QWERTY would hinder your ability to reach the top speeds, you can rest assured

Good luck!

hey ron,welcome,im a rookie around here too,i just wanted to ask you from what part of london are you from?

Hello Ron. Always good to have more typers around.
