Improving Your Typing Speed

Use our Typing Speed Test to find your current WPM. The average person types about 40 words per minute. Aim for 60 to 70 WPM.

Proper Technique

Touch typing means using all ten fingers without looking at the keyboard. Switching to touch typing will feel slower at first, but within two to three weeks your speed will surpass what you could do before.

Practice Regularly

Fifteen to twenty minutes per day is more effective than an hour once a week. During practice, accuracy matters more than speed.
