                      CALCULATING TYPING SPEED

              An average speed of 50 to 80 WPM is maintained by a professional typist which can be changed to 80 to 95 or above
              depending on the category of the work done on a computer.
              The Typing Speed can be measured with different accuracies:

                                         Typing Speed                                   Example

                             WPM = (Words      Net WPM = WPM  A person typed 50  Gross Speed =       Net Speed = 25 -

               Word          + Words with      errors / Time     with errors in 6   => 25 WPM        => 22 WPM
