above average wpm
Alphanumeric entry. Brandon Raziano found that one study of average computer users in 1998, the average rate for transcription was 33 words per minute, and 19 words per minute for composition. In the same study, when the group was divided into fast, moderate, and slow groups, the average speeds were 40 wpm, 35 wpm, and 23 wpm, respectively.
Best Answer: for a basic typing course, it is 40 wpm to not be considered a beginner. for a job involving word processing, it is around 70 wpm. good would be higher than that. i used to do around 110 when i was mudding on a regular basis. now it's about 90. 90 wpm would be average because I can type about 80 wpm.
