98 WPM @ 100% accuracy is probably not my main demographic. :-) It is a known bug though, and on my list to fix, but thanks for taking the time to screen cap it.

What tool have you used previously to measure your rate at 130-140 wpm? QBF counts every 5 characters as a "word"; other apps might measure differently. Did the tool not keep pace with your typing?

Thanks for the feedback!

I've used a lot of sites, but I'm most fond of typeracer.com's racing system. Most sites peg me around the 130-140 WPM mark.

Good luck with the site!

How much did you "train" to get to that speed? I moved to dvorak a couple years ago and I'm actually at 80-90wpm. I used atypetrainer4mac to get to 50-60wpm, then I did this http://www.flickr.com/photos/deadsunrise/4338226640/ and I'm up to 85-90 but to get slightly faster now I have to invest too much time.

I'm not sure. I was at 60 WPM at age 16 according to Mavis Beacon and steadily increased over the last decade. IRC was my training program. :)

I do not even type correctly and I have had no formal training. I only use three fingers on each hand (index, middle and ring) and my right pinky finger to press Shift. I actually press the spacebar with my right index finger and occasionally my left thumb.

Sorry that I can't accurately answer your question!
