When it comes to measuring typing speed, most people are familiar with the abbreviation WPM, which stands for words per minute. However, there are several other synonyms for measuring typing speed, such as KPM (keystrokes per minute) and CPM (characters per minute). While WPM measures the number of words typed, KPM measures the number of keystrokes and includes any backspaces, deletes, or corrections made during typing. CPM, on the other hand, measures the number of characters typed, including spaces and punctuation. Regardless of which measurement is used, improving your typing speed can be a valuable skill for a variety of professions and everyday tasks.
