Speed typing contest explained

In a speed typing contest contestants compete to attain the highest accurate typing speeds.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] These contests have been common in North America since the 1930s and were used to test the relative efficiency of typing with the Dvorak and QWERTY keyboard layouts.[6] [7]

In popular culture

The 2012 French romantic comedy-drama film Populaire shows the relationship between a speed typist and her trainer.
