WPM (Words Per Minute) is calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed characters by 5 (the average word length in English), then dividing by the time taken in minutes. CPM (Characters Per Minute) counts all characters including spaces and punctuation. Accuracy is the percentage of characters typed correctly.
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. 60+ WPM is considered good, 80+ WPM is professional level, and 100+ WPM is elite. Most office jobs require at least 40-50 WPM. Professional transcriptionists typically type 80-100 WPM.
