typing efficiency
Words per minute
Typing efficiency measures how quickly and accurately someone can input text, typically expressed in words per minute with an error rate.
The term appears in discussions of keyboard layouts, ergonomics, and workplace productivity: QWERTY wasn't designed for typing efficiency.
Touch typists achieve greater efficiency than hunt-and-peck typists.
