Question 1

How is typing speed measured?

Accepted Answer

Typing speed is measured in Words Per Minute (WPM). One 'word' is standardized as 5 keystrokes. The tool counts every correct character you type and divides by 5 to get your WPM.

An average typing speed is around 40 WPM. Professional typists reach 65–75 WPM, and advanced typists can exceed 100 WPM. Aim for at least 60 WPM with 95%+ accuracy for most office jobs.
