According to The Guinness Book of World Records, Barbara Blackburn of Salem, Oregon is the fastest typist in the world. She has held this record since 2005. During her attempt, Barbara maintained an average of 150 word per minute (WPM) for 50 minutes. Her peak speed was clocked at an astounding 212 WPM. One interesting side fact: Mrs. Blackburn failed her high school typing class.

The average person types around 35 WPM, so Mrs. Blackburn's record seems like an astounding feat to achieve. She worked hard at her craft for many years and even used a modified keyboard called the "Dvorak Simplified Keyboard System" that made her a more efficient typer.

If you don't have the time or commitment to improve your typing speed to the level of Mrs. Blackburn, there are easier ways. What if you could improve your typing speed today? Think that is possible?
