How to Improve Your Typing Speed

Typing speed is measured in WPM (Words Per Minute), where one "word" is standardized as 5 characters. The average typing speed is around 40 WPM, while professional typists often reach 80-120 WPM.

Tips to Type Faster:

  • Use Home Row: Place fingers on ASDF and JKL; — this is the foundation of touch typing
  • Don't look down: Train yourself to type without looking at the keyboard
  • Accuracy first: Speed naturally increases when you stop making errors
  • Practice daily: Even 10-15 minutes per day can dramatically improve your speed
  • Use all fingers: Avoid the "hunt and peck" method — use all 10 fingers
