One standard word equals five typed characters, including spaces. Net WPM uses characters that remain correct at the end of the session and divides by active typing time.

What this workout reveals
A clean speed and accuracy baseline.
- Net and raw WPM
- Keystroke accuracy and corrected errors
- Rhythm consistency and five-second burst speed
- Median key-transition latency
- Slow keys, difficult pairs, and late-session fatigue
How to get a useful result
- 01
Use the same duration, language, layout, and correction rules when comparing attempts.
- 02
WPM converts correct final characters to five-character words per active minute. CPM is a derived explanatory conversion from correct final characters per active minute, not a separately displayed result or a second benchmark scale.
- 03
Accuracy is correct key attempts divided by all key attempts. Read it with net WPM rather than treating raw motion as finished work.
- 04
Do not chase speed during the first ten seconds; establish a repeatable rhythm and repeat after a targeted workout, not immediately after memorizing the text.
Questions about this workout
Clear rules make scores comparable.
CPM is a derived explanatory conversion from correct final characters per active minute. It is not displayed as a separate TypeWorkout result; WPM divides the same character count by five, so the units should not be compared as independent scores.
Corrections do not directly subtract WPM, but the time spent correcting and the corrected-error count remain visible. Raw and net speed make the tradeoff clear.

Sixty seconds is a practical baseline. Use three to five minutes when you need a more stable measure of professional pace and fatigue.
