Calculate characters per minute, estimated WPM and typing accuracy.
CPM means characters per minute. It is calculated by dividing typed characters by the time in minutes.
Estimated WPM uses the common typing-test convention that five characters equal one standard word.
CPM means characters per minute. It measures how many characters you type in one minute.
Divide CPM by five to estimate WPM. For example, 300 CPM is about 60 WPM.
Use WPM for simple comparisons and CPM when you want a more detailed character-based measurement.
