Hi Melanie, Sabrina and Vincent, You may be interested in exploring the Azabat range of touch typing tutorials, which include the speed test module and it is fully accessible. More details at http://www.azabat.co.uk/typing.html Regards, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Melanie Pelka Sent: 30 April 2012 20:54 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: speed typing for audio-typists Hi Vincent, Thanks for that information. I have often thought about doing the typing-speed test here in Ireland. I have done it in Germany and have about 80 words per minute, but when people see my CV here, they of course want to know if I have the same typing speed in English language.
