What Is The Conversion Rate From Keystrokes Per Minute To Words Per Minute?

February 3, 2010 in conversion

If I type 200 keystrokes per minute, how many words per minute do I type? And also, what is the conversion rate from KPM to WPM? Is Keystrokes per minute faster than words per minute?

The standard typing conversion is 1 word = 5 keystrokes, so 200 kpm = 40 wpm.
There is no “faster” between kpm and wpm. There’s a bigger number and a smaller number, but neither is “faster” because they’re just different units for the same thing (like the freezing point of water in the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales: Neither one is “colder” than the other.)
Hope that helps.

A word is five keystrokes.
