The Computer Application organized a “Typing Competition” activity on 6th May 2022 (Friday) from 10:30 am onwards.
In a speed typing contest, contestants compete to attain the highest accurate typing speeds. Typing in an Indian language is currently not an easy task. Significant training is required before one can achieve an acceptable speed and only professional typists make the investment. Part of the complexity arises due to the structure of Indic scripts and the large number of characters in each script. Participants were encouraged to practice regularly. Participants were given unpracticed sentences to type. All those who typed faster than 10 words per minute passed to the next round. Judges read the typed sentences after each round and added penalty seconds for any typing errors.
