    114wpm is in the "professional" range (you need about 80 to pass most typing tests). It's not going to get much faster very quickly unless you type 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Maybe 1 or 2 wpm faster a year.

    I use several free typing courses online to improve my speed but I am more near 50 wpm, wow your fingers are flying.

    Sorry to hear that. I had a friend going to Court reporting school and could not complete the course, she got to a typing speed and after about 8 months of intense practice, never could advance any faster unfortunately for her.

    Source(s): http://keybr.com/ this seems to have some help for you, I googled, free online high speed typing course, there were a few you might not of seen or used yet.
