 CALCULATING THE TYPING SPEED
The typing speed can be measured with different
accuracies, such as
How many words are typed for a certain time
period (the least accurate)?
How many characters are typed for a certain
time period?
How many keystrokes are made for a certain
time period (the most accurate)?

Also there are

Simple speed (Gross speed)
Net speed (takes into account the errors)
THE FOLLOWING TABLE LISTS THE DETAILED
DESCRIPTIONS OF TYPING SPEED TYPES.
Types Description Formula
WPM the number of words typed in a one minute WPM = ( Words without errors + Words with
period of time errors ) / Time spent in minutes
Net WPM the WPM without words with errors Net WPM = WPM - ( Words with errors /
Time spent in minutes )
CPM the number of characters typed in a one minute CPM = ( Characters without errors +
period of time Characters with errors ) / Time spent in
minutes
Net CPM the CPM without characters with errors Net CPM = CPM - ( Characters with errors /
Time spent in minutes )
KPM the number of keystrokes in a one minute period KPM = (Keystrokes without errors +
of time Keystrokes with errors ) / Time spent in
minutes
Net KPM the KPM without keystrokes with errors Net KPM = KPM - ( Keystrokes with errors /
Time spent in minutes )
A student typed 240
characters per 2 min with
errors in 20 characters.
Simple speed = 240 characters / 2
min = 120 cpm

Net speed = 120 cpm - ( 20 errors

/ 2 min ) = 100 net cpm
TYPING ACCURACY
TYPING ACCURACY IS DEFINED AS THE
PERCENTAGE OF CORRECT ENTRIES OUT OF THE
TOTAL ENTRIES TYPED. THE FOLLOWING TABLE
LISTS THE DIFFERENT FORMULAS FOR THE TYPING
ACCURACY
Description CALCULATION.
Formula
Accuracy in the words, percent Accuracy = ( 100% - Words with errors * 100%) / Total number of words

Accuracy in the characters, percent Accuracy = ( 100% - Characters with errors * 100%) / Total number of
characters
Accuracy = ( 100% - Incorrect keystrokes * 100%) / Total number of
Accuracy in the keystrokes, percent words
 TYPING RHYTHM
IN THE TOUCH TYPING TECHNIQUES THE TYPING
RHYTHM IS VERY IMPORTANT. TYPING RHYTHM
MEANS THE KEYSTROKES SHOULD COME AT EQUAL
INTERVALS.
Description Formula
Errors in the words, percent Errors % = Words with errors * 100% / Total number of words
Errors in the characters, percent Errors % = Errors = Characters with errors * 100% / Total number of characters
Errors in the keystrokes, percent Errors % = Incorrect keystrokes * 100% / Total number of keystrokes
 TO CONTROL THE CONSTANT TYPING SPEED, THE
SLOWDOWN INDICATOR IS USED. THE FOLLOWING
TABLE SHOWS THE DIFFERENT FORMULA FOR THE
SLOWDOWN (PERCENTAGE SLOWDOWNS)
CALCULATION
Description Formula
Slowdown in the words, percent Slowdown % = Words with delay * 100% / Total number of words
Slowdown in the characters, percent Slowdown % = Characters with delay * 100% / Total number of characters
Slowdown % in the keystrokes, Slowdown % = Keystroke delay * 100% / Total number of keystrokes
percent
 GOOD TYPING SPEED
AN AVERAGE PROFESSIONAL TYPIST TYPES
USUALLY IN SPEEDS OF 50 TO 80 WPM, WHILE
SOME POSITIONS CAN REQUIRE 80 TO 95 AND
SOME ADVANCED TYPISTS WORK AT SPEEDS
ABOVE 120 WPM.
THE FASTEST TYPING SPEED ON AN
ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD, 216 WORDS IN ONE
MINUTE, WAS ACHIEVED BY STELLA PAJUNAS IN
1946.
AS OF 2005, WRITER BARBARA BLACKBURN WAS
THE FASTEST ALPHANUMERICAL ENGLISH
LANGUAGE TYPIST IN THE WORLD, ACCORDING TO
THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS . USING
THE DVORAK SIMPLIFIED KEYBOARD, SHE
MAINTAINED 150 WPM FOR 50 MINUTES, AND 170
