I used Gabe’s TypOmeter, which you can download for free at:
http://www.informatics.no

I can also use this as a productivity monitor, based on readings from which applications I’ve been using, and keystrokes relative to mouse clicks. COOL!

43 WPM
used same method as last time but had flexibility problems due to having cold fingers
next time I’ll do a speed typing training session I will use a free website for more reliable benchmarking.

48 WPM
method: copying newspaper article, using word counter and timed using stopwatch. includes time spent correcting words afterwards as identified by spell check.

So I’ve got some way to go but I’ll get there as most of my typing mistakes are actually corrected while I’m typing, which probably is less efficient than correcting for typing errors afterwards, but perhaps more reliable.
