Jinsi ya kukokotoa Typing Speed

Typing Speed ni nini?

Typing speed is measured in Words Per Minute (WPM). Gross WPM counts all keystrokes; net WPM subtracts errors. The average office worker types 40–55 WPM, while professional typists reach 70–90 WPM. Touch typists who do not look at the keyboard are consistently faster.
