What is WPM?
WPM (words per minute) measures typing speed using a standard word length of 5 characters. Only correctly typed characters count — so accuracy matters as much as speed.
How to improve your typing speed
Practice for 10–15 minutes daily, focus on accuracy before speed, and use all fingers with proper home-row positioning. Most typists see measurable improvement within 2–3 weeks.
How is accuracy calculated?
Accuracy is the percentage of correctly typed characters out of your total input. A score above 95% is considered good; professional typists typically maintain 98–99%.
Why take a typing speed test?
Knowing your baseline WPM helps you track improvement over time. Faster, more accurate typing boosts productivity in almost every knowledge-work role.
