Improving Your Typing Speed Over Time

Time Chart

A chart of your entire race history is now available on typeracer in the My Scores section! If you’ve completed less than 100 races it plots your scores directly, otherwise it plots your averages at evenly spaced intervals between your first and last race. The new chart replaces the old “last 50” chart.

As you may recall, earlier this year we published a graph of the average WPM improvement vs. number of races finished (link). Now you can see how your graph compares to those averages!

Are you impressed / surprised / disappointed by your progress? You can leave a comment with your chart URL here to share it with everyone and get feedback. To get the URL, right click on your chart and select “Copy Image Location” (the text of this option might be different depending on your browser).

Exporting your data to CSV

Now you can also download all of your scores in one large CSV file! Many of you have been asking for this option for a long time, and I’m happy to say it’s finally available. This is an experimental feature and requires a premium subscription for now.

The contents of the CSV file will look like this:

Race #,WPM,Rank,# Racers,Text ID,Date/Time (UTC)
1,49,1,4,5,2008-07-27 21:49:17
2,60,1,4,130,2008-07-27 21:50:57
3,37,3,3,108,2008-07-27 21:54:52

  1. Just reading through the archives and I don’t get the big deal on “skipping” races? I do it all the time. There may be certain text that I’m horrible at or times when my fingers are like lead and I type 65 WPM and no I don’t want that to bring my average down. I had no idea it was looked down upon…but it’s a bad idea IMO to lock people out because of it.

  2. Hi. Everyone.
    I’ve training typing for 2 months.
    Now I reach the speed of 56 wpm.
    Would you explane me how to reach the speed of 80,90 or higher? Is training enough?

  3. Hey, how do you show the picture thing. The option isnt on the list when i right click. And none of the options I have works 😛

  4. I ment the right click to get the url thing. I can’t do that. It doesnt show the button. I have copy but nothing happens when i press it. cant paste it or nothing.

    • andy – if you’re using Microsoft Internet Explorer, right-click, then chose “Properties”, then copy the URL from the properties window.

  5. Yay! I found the linkk thingy 😀 Hope this is right.

    I see quick improvement between races 1-800, moderate improvement between 801-1600 and slow improvement so on. 😀

    • It’s on the tab where you go to view your past scores. On the right there are two links “Graph:
      selected range all” Click on “all”.
