This one is awesome. Ever want to know how fast you can type away on your BlackBerry? Now you can find out, thanks to an awesome app called ‘TyperSpeed’.
Developer Fabian Heuwieser put together TyperSpeed to measure the speed of your typing on the notoriously addictive device.
This application is for everyone who wants to get a view on how fast he/she can type on his/her BlackBerry device. It calculates the result in words per minute. It’s the first application of its kind for BlackBerry.
Through this you can see if you type faster on a PC-Keyboard or on your mobile device since the application uses the same calculation as other wpm-calculators. This application also includes a highscore list for the best 3 scores. It contains 6 texts (4 english / 2 german) you can choose from; You have to type off the text and then it calculates the speed. Another option is ‘Speed Writing’. There you just type anything and when you want to calculate the speed, you simply click on Stop!
How awesome is that! I can see myself killing hours and hours trying to best my personal record. It would be awesome if there was a global leaderboard of sorts… We could find out who’s the fastest BlackBerry typist in the world? Hmmmm… Fabian?
