Any tips for working on accuracy? I seemed to have hit a block at about 45 words per minute, and I think it's primarily due to accuracy. My average accuracy in Typeracer seems to be around 90%-95%.

For accuracy practice, I recommend Typeracer accuracy universe

You have to type with 100% accuracy just to stay in the race.

Thanks for the tips! I really like the look of that amphetype program, I'll definitely check it out. I was actually considering doing that just by having a book on my desk in front of me and typing from it, but this program would definitely make this much easier.

I took the advice of just typing really slowly and intentionally, and it has helped quite a bit! My average accuracy seems to be around 97%, now, and my typing speed is up to about 50 WPM. My short term goal is 65 WPM, which is the slowest I believe you can type without some loss of train of thought, and my long term goal is over 100 WPM.
Also I did know about that Instant Death mode Typeracer, but I have to admit I find it a  bit too frustrating for now. Heck, I find it pretty frustrating even in QWERTY.

Also I have started feeling the effects on my QWERTY typing speed at this point. I often reach for Colemak keys when I'm trying to type in QWERTY, especially when typing S/D, P, E, and backspace, whlch I am very used to being my Cap Locks Key now.

I am inclined to agree at this point. I have really started to enjoy Colemak, and my speed is increasing at a solid rate. So far I am now up to around 55-60 WPM. At this rate, I'll definitely be at 'least' as fast, if not faster with Colemak, than the speed I left off in QWERTY, by the end of the month.

So, it has been almost two weeks since I started learning Colemak. I have been practicing (sometimes somewhat excessively) most days when I don't work, and I can consistently type above 70 words per minute now, occasionally reaching speeds of +80 (with my record being 87). I still continue to practice using amphetype, which I really enjoy. At this point all the key positions are completely fluent under my fingers, and I think it's now more a matter of developing more finger rolls, and fully developing the ones I already have (for a short period around 60 WPM, I had a tendency to type 'ion' whenever I meant to type 'ing', for whatever reason.)

I hope to eventually reach 100 WPM, but I will likely stop practicing as much once I can consistently hit the high 70s to low 80s (my old qwerty speed), which shouldn't be long now. I had only learned qwerty typing a month before I  started Colemak (although with qwerty, I was quite fast even before I learned to touch type, able to use 2-3 fingers per hand to type around 70 words per minute), so I think I should eventually be able to reach 100 with Colemak, just through less intense usage.

I don't know if this works for everyone, but for any tips I'd say have helped me so far, it was to avoid using the printout sheet as much as possible. Obviously I had to use one at first (I did a lot of my early typing using TypeFu), but once I felt I had a decent grasp of where every key was, I avoided looking at the layout sheet at all, and worked more towards getting all the keys further into muscle memory. This is actually another nice thing about amphetype, it is meant to train typing without a keyboard reference.

Today on TypeRacer, I managed to get 102 WPM on a shorter quote, which actually surpasses my previous record on QWERTY of 100 WPM! Sadly I was unable to complete the test for proving that I'm a human, but still, I'm pretty happy with that.

Although my overall average is still slightly lower than it was with QWERTY, I actually find I tend to fluctuate in both directions a lot more with Colemak at the moment. With QWERTY I was about 75-85 average, with Colemak I'm about 70-85 average now, all depending on the difficulty of the text I receive. Overall I'm almost caught up though, I scored 79 WPM on a 2 minute test on Hi-Games, where my old high score was 82.

And yeah, that makes sense why people would confuse them, at the time I would often end up with combinations of them too, for example, 'iogn' or 'iong', and others like that.

I also understand why it would be useful to have PKL's diagram around for alt groupings and such, but I actually almost never use AltGr myself, so I have no real need for it. I use Windows 7, and I just have Colemak installed at this point, and use the SharpKeys program to rebind the Caps Lock key to backspace. I carry around PKL in a USB stick in case I ever need it, but I don't use other people's computers very often.

Thanks! And also thank you for recommending that Amphetype program at the beginning. Although I've stopped using it, it was nice for the first while, just so I didn't feel like all I was doing was practicing typing, I was also reading some books!

Here's a small video of me typing a decent 87 WPM on a TypeRacer run!

So it's been just over two months since I started typing in Colemak and I can honestly say that it has helped me greatly. Although I had known and used the QWERTY layout all my life, I only started touch typing on it two months 'before' I started working on Colemak. Comparing my progress between two months of QWERTY and two months of Colemak, the difference is quite impressive in my opinion.

From this graph you can compare both my time with QWERTY and my time on Colemak. The dip you see around 2980 races is where I started using Colemak again on Typeracer. As you can see, I reached a long lasting plateau with QWERTY, a problem I haven't really found with Colemak yet.

Very happy I started using Colemak, and I haven no intention of ever switching back to QWERTY.
