How to improve your typing speed?
The average typing speed of a non-professional user is 40-60 words per minute (WPM). A professional typist reaches 80-100 WPM. Professional coders and writers generally aim for 70-80 WPM with high accuracy.
Techniques to improve
1) Learn touch typing with all 10 fingers: each finger covers specific keys. 2) Maintain correct posture with wrists slightly elevated. 3) Practice 15 minutes daily, prioritizing accuracy over speed. Speed will come naturally with time.
Understanding WPM results
WPM (Words Per Minute) is calculated on an average of 5 characters per word. 40 WPM: beginner level | 60 WPM: intermediate | 80 WPM: advanced | 100+ WPM: expert level. Accuracy (% of correct characters) is just as important as speed.
