FAQ
What is WPM?
Words Per Minute — the standard typing speed metric. One "word" = 5 characters including spaces. Average typists reach 40–60 WPM; touch typists often exceed 80 WPM.
How do I improve my typing speed?
Practice consistently, use all fingers, and focus on accuracy before speed. Review your weakest keys and reduce corrective backspacing.
打字速度怎麼練？
先專注正確率，再追求速度。熟悉注音或倉頡鍵盤後，每天練習 10–15 分鐘即可明顯進步。
What is CPM in Chinese mode?
Characters Per Minute — used in Chinese mode because Chinese characters are not measured in 5-character "words."
