Typing Test

WPM Definition WPM means Words Per Minute. It is a measure of the output speed on a keyboard. Here's how it works: - start a timer and start typing for exactly 1 minute - count how many characters you just typed including spaces and punctuation - divide that value by 5 (the WPM system considers a word is 5 keystrokes) - the result is your Words Per Minute speed For example, if I've typed the text "Hello world. It is a nice day." and it took me 1 minute to enter that text. Here's how I get my WPM speed: - "Hello world. It is a nice day." has 30 characters - in terms of WPM words that's 30 / 5 = 6 words (because with WPM a word is 5 keystrokes) - so my speed is 6 WPM If it took me 30 seconds to type that text, then my speed would be: 6 * 60 / 30 = 12 WPM The average professional typists reach a speed of 50 to 70 WPM.
