POLL: Can you type or write quicker?

[xirtam]

I'd like to see someone who can write 100+ WPM and still have it legible.

No kidding. I sure wish I could write over 100 wpm with 100 percent accuracy. I should learn shorthand.

Type, of course.

 

[dighn]

i doubt anyone wko knows how to type do it slower than the write. it would be veyr wierd

 

[RossMAN]

I could write faster but it would be MASSIVE CHICKEN SCRATCH.

So I'd say type faster than write.

I can't write 60 plus words a minute, that is for damn sure (without my hand going into cardiac arrest). But I can type it.

This is full writing, not taking shorthand notes.

Typing by far...no contest.

prolly write faster but when it comes to review what i wrote, it's horrendous.

 

[StageLeft]

I can type at least 4 times as quickly.

I once had to write a memo and my computer was down. I could not do it. It felt too strange holding a pen and staring at a blank page.

Definitely type faster than I write. Although sometimes I speed write just to check how fast I can do it...so with a little more practice, I'll be writing as fast as i type...hahah..yea right.

I had to learn how to type if I ever wanted to read anything that I wrote down. I found an old notebook from a few years back and just stared at some pages unable to understand anything. 😱

I don't even bother writing anymore, typing is so much faster.

 

[MrsHoneybee]

Typing is faster.

 

[Sketcher]

type faster than write. 78 Wpm including punctuation and numbers.

 

[eplebnista]

I can write quicker than type 😱

 

[Evadman]

no way I can write @ 80 WPM. no way in hell. maybe like 15 or 20.

 

[thawolfman]

Type by a loooooooooooongshot! 🙂

 

[brtspears2]

I think I can match the speed in both cases, but neatness will surely be an issue when writing at high speeds.

 

[THELAIR]

When i really get going nad the juices in my head are flowing at full bore, i can type at over 150 wpm sustained with 90-95%ish accuracy.
sustained means for more than 5 mins. But if i type that fast for more than 5 mins my hands and fingers ache really bad lol.

Right now just typing in this chat window i am probably doing at our around 80wpm.

I HATE WRITING ON PAPER.. i can never read it after, and i get way to frustrated when i start loosing thoughts in my head cuz i cant get it down on paper fast enough. I usualyl throw note pads away and haul out my laptop to take notes.
