UPDATE #2: For the skeptics, I downloaded this app on March 9th and recorded this video on March 11th. Here is another source to show that typing fast is not exclusive to iTextSpeed taken on March 14th: http://imgur.com/Be5Cw.png
I did not practice much, and indeed do not have a life since I'm a student studying to go to med school. But I do like to live a little by researching and reading daily about technology, playing heavily rendered 3D games, loving Jannett, and doing plenty of physical activities. You can subscribe if you want to see my newest project called Second Opinion, where I can give you guys an unbiased review on products / games / tech / anything you want that explicitly states whether if you should get it or not. Until then, thanks! (Especially to Gizmodo!) [Hi Engadgetarians and Redditors]

UPDATE #1: My latest record is now 83 WPM. I'm aiming for 90... and if I get that, then I don't know whats impossible!

Hello! Sorry about the quality. This is the best camera I have... and right now I am wishing I used the camera that Engadget uses. (Probably a Canon 5D Mark II... so jealous...)
If you don't believe the video due to quality issues, I have the picture uploaded via imgur
at this link: http://imgur.com/gFXHA.jpg
And if you are skeptical that I just got lucky one time, I have another picture to prove that I've done this before: http://imgur.com/Lgimz.png
Currently, I have the crown in being the fastest typist on a mobile phone device @ 81 wpm (words per minute). The device used was an iPhone 3GS.
Furthermore, to verify this I used an application known as iTextSpeed. I just got it a few days ago, and beware: it's extremely addictive.
I honestly believe that there isn't a faster speed out there at the moment, so I went ahead and submitted this to the Guinness Book of World Records. Hopefully my application will be accepted!



If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks for watching!

  • If you ever got kidnapped you could dispatch a "HELP!" text including the longitude and latitude of your current location as well as a full description of the man (or woman) attached with a brief story about your life before he could even throw you in the van. You sir, are the chosen one.

  • ...

    I agree that your typing speed on the iPhone is amazing, but I am rather worried about your thumbs (your joints were not made to move at that speed with that many brain signals going to your muscles). Considering that, if they move at a speed like that, it could seriously damage your joints. Full-hand typing on a regular keyboard doesn't require as many movements to achieve the same speed, and it is more ergonomic.

    I'll commend you for your speed, but don't injure your hands.

  • Good lord! Yeah I'm a blind user who uses an iPhone and I think I can only d 8, but that's using the voice over technology that's built in to the ios software. Is there a way I can make my typing faster even when I'm in a moving car besides practice? Lol! I can't see the keyboard at all. And I want to do this using the virtual keyboard. Thanks.

  • wtf? the iphone keyboard is absolutely impossible to type perfectly unless you have cocktail sticks for fingers

  • @iJack101 your bodies electrical currents are conducted through the grape

  • "ahh yeah, well I gotta beat it" lmao

  • @Minneahh I was eating grapes while listening to music and I subconsciously started changing the song using a grape I had in my hand. It took me a while to notice too.

  • @iJack101 Grapes have electricity.

    Why were you using a grape on your iPod anyway?

  • Woah.

  • iPhone screens work by detecting electrical signals in your body? Yet I can use my iPod touch (same screen) using a grape... Just saying...

  • your Fast Bro!!! DAMN
