Frequently asked questions

What is WPM (Words Per Minute)?

WPM is the standard measurement of typing speed. It's calculated by dividing the number of characters typed (including spaces) by 5, then dividing by the time in minutes. A word is standardized as 5 characters for consistency across different texts.

What's the difference between Raw WPM and Net WPM?

Raw WPM is your speed without considering errors, while Net WPM deducts errors from the calculation. Net WPM gives a more accurate representation of your actual typing proficiency.

What is a good typing speed?

Average typing speed is 40-50 WPM. Professional typists typically achieve 65-75 WPM. Advanced typists and programmers often reach 80+ WPM. However, accuracy is equally important - aim for at least 95% accuracy.

How can I improve my typing speed?

Practice regularly with proper finger placement (touch typing), focus on accuracy over speed initially, use all ten fingers, maintain good posture, and take breaks to avoid fatigue. Consistent practice is key to improvement.
