Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM (Words Per Minute) calculated?
WPM is calculated based on a standard where one "word" is considered to be five characters long (including spaces). The formula is: `(Total Characters Typed / 5) / Time in Minutes`. This method provides a standardized score regardless of the actual words typed.
What is a good typing speed?
An average typing speed is around 40 WPM. A speed of 60-70 WPM is considered good for most professional roles. Competitive typists often exceed 100 WPM. The key is to balance speed with high accuracy.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Consistent practice is the best way to improve. Focus on accuracy first, then speed. Try to maintain a proper posture, use all your fingers (touch typing), and avoid looking at the keyboard. Regular practice with our tool can help you track your progress.
