Typing Guides & FAQ
How to Improve Typing Speed
Improving typing speed starts with accuracy. Focus on typing correctly before typing faster. Practice regularly, maintain proper finger placement, and avoid looking at the keyboard.
Short daily sessions are more effective than long, irregular practice. As muscle memory improves, speed increases naturally.
Can I improve my typing speed?
Yes. Regular practice, correct finger positioning, and focusing on accuracy
first will steadily improve your typing speed.
What is WPM?
WPM stands for Words Per Minute. One word is calculated as five characters, including spaces. WPM is a standard method used to measure typing speed across platforms.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM is calculated by dividing the total number of characters typed by 5
(average word length), then dividing by the total time taken in minutes.
What is a good typing speed?
The average typing speed is 35–40 WPM. Skilled typists reach 70–90 WPM,
while expert typists can exceed 120 WPM.
Is it better to focus on speed or accuracy first?
Accuracy should always come first. Typing fast with frequent mistakes reduces effective WPM and productivity.
Why is accuracy important?
Accuracy prevents wasted time correcting errors. Typing slowly but
correctly is more efficient than typing quickly with many mistakes.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM is calculated by dividing the total number of characters typed by five, which represents the average word length, and then dividing the result by the time spent typing in minutes.
Why is accuracy important?
Typing quickly is beneficial, but accuracy ensures efficiency. Frequent errors slow you down because time is lost correcting mistakes.
Balanced speed and accuracy lead to better productivity and higher effective WPM.
What is a good typing speed?
