How many words do we type per day on average?
An office professional types between 3,000 and 8,000 words per day depending on their job. A writer or community manager can exceed 10,000 words. A developer averages around 5,000 characters of code plus emails and messages.
How much time do you save by typing faster?
Let's take a concrete example. To type 5,000 words at 35 WPM, it takes 143 minutes (2h23). At 70 WPM, it takes 71 minutes (1h11). Difference: 72 minutes per day. Over 220 working days per year, that's 264 hours — or 33 eight-hour days. A month and a half of work recovered, every year.
Does speed affect work quality?
Yes, positively. When typing is automatic, the brain focuses on substance rather than form. Studies show that fast writers produce better quality texts because they stay in the flow of their ideas. Less friction = more creativity.
