Typing Speed Tracked

(From The Hartford Courant)

Have you ever wondered exactly how fast you can type?

For those obsessed with typing speed, WPM TRAY is a free, open-source program (WINDOWS only) that sits in your system tray and keeps track of your words-per-minute in real time, graphing your speed over time.

WPM TRAY is the latest release from the APP A DAY project, a cool idea where one programmer is coding one small, useful app every day for a month.

If you're looking to improve your typing speed, the instant feedback provided by WPM TRAY is handy.

Also, unlike other words-per-minute measuring tools, WPM TRAY tracks your speed when you're doing regular work, which should give you a much more accurate picture of your WPM than typing a predefined block of text.

Being able to track your progress (or lack thereof) could be a great motivator in improving typing speed.

Oh, and it's also fun to keep an eye on your typing speed (because you're vain).
