What is WPM?
Words Per Minute measures how fast you type. One "word" equals five characters including spaces — this standard makes scores comparable across any text. TalionType shows both Net WPM (correct characters only) and Raw WPM after every test.
What is a good typing speed?
The average adult types around 40 WPM. 65–80 WPM is proficient for office work. Programmers typically aim for 80–100 WPM, and professional typists often exceed 120 WPM. See full WPM chart by age & profession →
How to improve typing speed?
Use daily challenges, focus on accuracy before speed, and review the error heatmap to target weak keys. Consistent 10–15 minute daily sessions show measurable improvement within weeks. 7 proven techniques →
How is WPM calculated?
Net WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. Every 5 errors costs you 1 WPM — which is why accuracy compounds into dramatically different scores at higher speeds. Read the full formula →
