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?

    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.

      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.

        My physical keyboard buttons are a liiiiittle bigger than my on-screen ones. WTF is wrong with you?
