In any case, 8,000 key depressions per hour translate to 133 key depressions per minute. The indicator ‘ words per minute‘ is mainly used for measuring reading speed, while the number of key depressions (characters) refers to typing speed. Employers who ask for people to do a lot of typing or data entry often require applicants to be skilled typists with high scores. Sometimes Keystrokes Per Hour (KSPH) or Keystrokes Per Minute (KSPM) are used to measure typing speed instead of words per minute (WPM).Ībout 10,000 or more keystrokes per hour are considered to be a good score, while about 8,000 keystrokes per hour is an average score. Therefore, 5400 keystrokes in one hour mean 5400 keystrokes in one hour or 90 keystrokes per minute (5400 ÷ 60 minutes).
