About the Typing Speed Test
The average adult types around 40 words per minute; touch typists typically reach 65–80, and professional transcriptionists go beyond that. Accuracy matters more than raw speed, since every correction costs more time than typing slightly slower would have. If you are improving deliberately, keep your eyes off the keyboard even while it feels slower — that is the change that eventually raises the ceiling.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good typing speed?
Around 40 wpm is average for adults, 65–80 wpm is a solid touch-typing speed, and above 90 wpm is fast.
How is words per minute calculated?
Characters typed divided by five (the standard word length), adjusted per minute and corrected for errors.
Does accuracy matter more than speed?
Yes. Fixing mistakes costs more time than typing a little slower, so accuracy usually raises effective speed.
