Speed Test Criteria

The parameters that the program analyzes when determining typing speed are:

• number of errors made;
• total writing time;
• typing speed in characters/words per minute;
• information reproduction accuracy.

These are basic indicators that are important to track when typing. The higher the speed and fewer errors made, the better the quality of the final text.

How is typing speed measured?

For Russian texts, the commonly accepted unit of measurement is characters per minute (CPM). In English texts, words per minute (WPM) are most often counted. Sometimes speed is measured in "keystrokes" performed per minute (SPM). It's considered that the average length of an English word is 5 characters, Russian - 7. When evaluating typing speed, it's important to pay attention to the units of measurement - characters/words/keystrokes per minute.

What typing speed is considered good?

It's proven that 250 characters per minute is a typing speed that indicates average user productivity. In this mode, a person formulates a thought and then reflects it on the screen.

Depending on typing speed, users can type different volumes of text in the allotted time. For example, at a speed of 120 chars/min, an A4 sheet (approximately 1800 characters) will be typed in an average of 15 minutes, while at a speed of 320 chars/min - in 5 minutes. Obviously, high typing speed significantly saves working time.

Users who have mastered touch typing perfectly handle keyboard text writing very quickly while getting less tired.
