How fast can people really type on the iPad?

Answer: 111 words per minute at 100% accuracy. Or at least that's the current record. To get into the top ten you would have to beat 83 WPM. All pretty amazing considering this is done on the glass screen of a device that is "meant only for consumption".

With the recent release of our iPhone typing trainer we thought it was finally time to bring our TapTyping leaderboards to the web. These are updated live and only list each user's highest score hiding the rest of their attempts (which is a change we will be rolling out to the in-app leaderboards in the next few days).

Head over to our iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch typing test leader boards to see what types of speeds the world's fastest iOS typists are putting up.

 

TapTyping trainer for iPhone and iPod Touch

TapTyping 3.0 has hit the App Store and with it comes a huge surprise: full iPhone and iPod Touch support!

We decided to release this as a universal binary to say thanks to all of our existing customers. What this means for you is that if you already have our iPad typing trainer you get our iPhone and iPod touch version completely free.

Along with universal binary support we have added fast app switching and vastly improved scrolling and page switching performance. Oh, and we squashed a bunch of annoying bugs in the process.

The new version is available for download immediately. Download our universal iOS typing trainer now!
