How fast can a person type?
116676
Well I use to do about 120 per minute with no mistakes, but age has slowed me down a bit. For the fastest there are those who can type 200 words with no mistakes and that is what counts, not just the amount of words, but if it has no mistakes in it. That is pretty quick I would say\nThere was a woman, Barbara Blackburn, though I am unsure of the year, was considered an exceptionally fast typist, typing 150 words per minute for 50 minutes, I think it was mid 80's with her top speed of 212 per minute.

You have to type slower if responding to a man.

Each 'word' on a typing test is 5 spaces I believe.  Using a Dictaphone is not the same as a straight typing test.  I would expect the speed to be a lot slower on a dictaphone.  She would need to be to hear the person, determine the correct word (there, their and they're) and correct spelling.\n\nI don't think you're supposed to time a Dictaphone test like you would a typing test.  Give her an allotted time and see how far she gets.  Look at her results (set up of letter correct, spelling, general readability of letter etc.).  I wouldn't try to come up with a WPM score.

Go to google and type in Cortez Peters.  I took his course in the 80's and learned to type 120wpm with no errors.  I don't type as much nowadays, but can still do 100wpm with few errors, if any.

I do about 80wpm. 41 is not bad at all. I'm not exactly sure what the average amount of words per minute is though.

Practicing typing skills isn't actually the same as using it every day. Begin typing paragraphs, type letters to family or friends, just start typing your novel!! The more you use it, the better it gets - I type on a computer for a living but I flunked every single typing test I ever took & flunked typing class as well!! Speed & accuracy comes with using it.\nTo quote Nike - Just Do It!! Good Luck!

Not sure if you want an answer, or even what the question is really.  Congratulations on being able to type so quickly.

If you're hired to type at a certain speed, but can't - what will you do when you're at work?

I'm 35 and I agree with you.  I know many people use "computer words" like initials, abbrevations and such.  I see a lot of that.  I did well in school with writing, spelling, punctuation.  I still do and tend to type out complete words and sentences when I am on the internet.  To each their own.  But I do think some just don't know where the keys are.   :)\n\nP.S. It's 1:50 am here, and your 13.  Shouldn't you be in bed!?!?!

Average talking speed is 125 to 150 words per minute.\n\nEven the slowest speaking President speaks about twice as fast as a very good typist types.
