❓ FAQ
What is the difference between WPM and CPM?
WPM (Words Per Minute) counts words separated by spaces in English, or every 2 characters as 1 word in Chinese. CPM (Characters Per Minute) counts raw characters and more directly reflects input speed. Average typists reach 40–60 WPM in English; professional typists exceed 100 WPM.
How can I improve my typing speed?
The key is developing correct finger habits (all ten fingers, no looking at the keyboard). Start slow with 95%+ accuracy, then gradually increase speed. 15–20 minutes of daily practice for 2–4 weeks shows significant improvement.
What if my accuracy is low?
Accuracy over speed. Errors break your rhythm and reduce effective WPM. Aim for 98% accuracy first — speed will naturally follow as you build muscle memory.
