What Is a Good Typing Speed?
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM for casual typists. Professional typists typically reach 65–75 WPM. Experienced touch typists often exceed 80 WPM, and competitive typists can reach 150 WPM or higher. For most office work, 50–60 WPM with high accuracy is considered proficient.
How to Improve Your Typing Speed
The most effective way to type faster is to learn touch typing — typing without looking at the keyboard. Focus on accuracy first, then gradually increase speed. Practice regularly with typing tests, aim for consistency, and avoid looking down at your keys. Proper finger placement on the home row (ASDF for the left hand, JKL; for the right hand) is the foundation of efficient typing.
