The average office typist reaches about 50 to 60 words per minute. The average Web surfer typically types at 30 words per minute. If you type slower than about 20 words per minute, you should consider using one of the FREE online resources available that can help you master the skills of touch typing. Whether you are a typing expert or just a “hunt and peck” beginner, the interactive exercises in this typing tutor automatically adjust to your skill level.
