tl;dr It's hard to underestimate the importance of typing. Unless you are a journalist, legal secretary, or professional writer, you probably don't get enough practice to ever become truly fast. I built Typr and used it to simultaneously read & type “Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!". Two weeks and 100,195 words later, I was maintaining between 100-110 WPM after starting out at 50 WPM. If you like reading, kill two birds with one stone by using Typr to practice typing material you would otherwise be reading.
