Hi all, I've always wondered how fast my typing speed actually is. If you put typing tests into google, you'll find several sites that offer tests at no cost. But I've found those to not be very accessible. So what's the best way for a screen reader user to take a typing test to test their speed? WOuld it be to have somebody read the text which is required to be typed? Or is there software out there specifically designed for totally blind people who use screen readers to take typing tests to test their speed?

Look on the APH site, there's a great one there. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called now though. APH = American Printing House for the Blind.
