Thanks!

12 000 ksph means how many words?

that's 40...

I had 82 wpm on my first speedtest (with one error).

And at the second I had 84 wpm.
That means 25200 ksph.

At the third I had 91 wpm with 100% accuracy.

And I don't exercise on speedtyping.

I tried it at typingtest.com

if your typing at lets say 40 wpm you times that by 60........... 2400 its not KPH its alot easier.

what would 7392kph be in wpm

Hi

Referring to the previous discussions, i think the formula for conversion of KPH or KPM to WPM can be derived with some assumptions.

1. First thing we need is to define the length of the word, say it is "X".
2. For correct calculation we need to also account for spaces (which too is a keystroke).
3. It assumes that there is no mixed use of special characters (which require additional keystroke e.g...... "a" can be typed in "A" (by using Shift+a)

Keeping above in mind. The formula is as follows:-

WPM for the keystrokes for spaces = KPM/(X*X)......................Eq. 1

WPM for normal typing = X*Eq.1............................................ ..Eq. 2

Now the tptal WPM speed will be = Eq. 1 + Eq. 2

= Eq. 1 + X* Eq. 1

= Eq. 1 (1+X)

= (KPM/(X*X))*(1+X)

Sample calculation. Say length of standard word typed is 5 and the KPM is 200, then applying the above formula, we will have

WPM = (200/(5*5))*(1+5)
= (200/25)*6
= 8*6
= 48

I hope the above working is useful to the forum. If any comments, drop in a mail at sunil.k.07@gmail.com

Guys....i above workings

Keystorke per hour (KPH) = 60* Keystrokes per min (KPM)

Guys.... KPH and WPM are not the same thing. KPH refers to your speed on a 10-key numeric keypad, while WPM is your speed on a QWERTY keyboard. There are several online tests to determine KPH, but there is no "formula" to determine the speed based on WPM.

You can use this online calculator to convert between words per minute and keystrokes per hour.

I am a new user, so it won't allow to post links, so have to work around it. Sorry.

what would be the kph of 47 wpm?

for typing test only numbers, i want to prepare typing test, there is no practice, please suggest website to type 10000 numbers in 20 minuets.
