Words per minute and characters per minute
The conventional word is five characters, including spaces. Net WPM equals correct final characters divided by five and then divided by active minutes. CPM is a derived explanatory conversion from correct final characters divided by active minutes; it is not a separately displayed TypeWorkout result. Multiplying or dividing by five explains the relationship between the units.
Raw speed, net speed, and corrections
Raw WPM uses all key attempts. Net WPM uses characters that remain correct at the end. Corrections are reported separately so a natural correction strategy is visible; raw and net are not two unrelated scores.
Accuracy and consistency
Accuracy is correct key attempts divided by all key attempts. It can differ from net output when corrections or final text state are involved. Consistency is derived from the variation in valid intervals between recent keystrokes; it is a rhythm signal, not a typing-quality certificate.
Latency, pairs, and fatigue
Median latency estimates the typical transition between keys. Pair analysis groups transitions by expected character sequence. For longer sessions, fatigue compares early and late pace; a change is a clue to repeat, not a diagnosis.
KPH for structured entry
Keystrokes per hour scales total key activity to one hour. Raw KPH counts attempts and net KPH uses characters that remain correct. Use KPH for structured work only when the test's separators, tabs, and correction rules match the task.
