Understanding Typing Speed
About Typing Speed
- Words Per Minute (WPM): Standard measure of typing speed, calculated as 5 characters = 1 word
- Average Speed: Most people type between 38-40 WPM, while professional typists reach 65-75 WPM
- Accuracy Matters: High speed with low accuracy is less useful than moderate speed with high accuracy
- Touch Typing: Using all fingers without looking at the keyboard significantly improves speed
- Practice Benefits: Regular practice can improve typing speed by 10-20 WPM over time
Improvement Tips
- Keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF JKL;) when not typing
- Look at the screen, not your keyboard while typing
- Focus on accuracy first, then gradually build speed
- Practice regularly for 15-20 minutes daily
- Use proper posture and ergonomic keyboard positioning
