The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. A good typist reaches 65-75 WPM, while professional typists often exceed 100 WPM. With regular practice using Typing Dojo, most people can improve their speed by 10-20 WPM within a few weeks.
WPM is calculated by dividing the total number of characters typed (including spaces) by 5 (the standard word length), then dividing by the elapsed time in minutes. This standardized method allows fair comparison between different texts and languages.
Focus on accuracy first, then speed. Use the Practice Mode to master each row of keys progressively. Maintain proper finger positioning on the home row (ASDF JKL;). Practice daily for at least 15 minutes, and avoid looking at the keyboard.
Touch typing is the ability to type without looking at the keyboard, using muscle memory to find keys. It dramatically improves speed and reduces errors. Our Practice Mode teaches touch typing through progressive lessons starting from the home row.
