I dont like this typing test because you need to read the text first. Its a typing test not a reading and typing test '?'
I can surely type faster if someone is talking continous to me what i need to type.

This is a proper typing test because people that type like me don't even look at the keyboard, so we're focused all the time at the screen as we've memorised every single key on the keyboard.
People talking to you only makes it easier and thus less challenging, since you can look at the keyboard all the time.

@user Seekay: Good one! When you make a mistake on this test, at least in my case, you kinda lose a few milliseconds thinking whether to fix your mistake or just move on.

This isn't even my mother language...
I can do better typing in portuguese.


Also, there is a site that only needs you to write words.

btw: You automatically learn touch typing (which includes not looking at the keyboard) when typing a lot. At least that's what happened to me.

I don't type a lot, english is not my home language, latin is not my script, my keyboard keys aren't flat, i have some problems with typing of some symbols like ",',` and i'm not used to my new keyboard (i used old keyboard for many years 5+).
So here my result:

Won't believe that unless you show your fingers at the keyboard + the screen at the same time so we can see you actually hitting the right keys at the right moment. It's easy to automate input with scripts and tools.
