Words per minute and characters per minute
The conventional word is five characters, including spaces. Net WPM equals correct final characters divided by five and then divided by active minutes. CPM is a derived explanatory conversion from correct final characters divided by active minutes; it is not a separately displayed TypeWorkout result. Multiplying or dividing by five explains the relationship between the units.
Raw speed, net speed, and corrections
Raw WPM uses all key attempts. Net WPM uses characters that remain correct at the end. Corrections are reported separately so a natural correction strategy is visible; raw and net are not two unrelated scores.
Accuracy and consistency
Prose-mode accuracy is correct key attempts divided by all key attempts. Data-entry accuracy is the share of submitted fields or whole records that exactly match the displayed source. These measures are not interchangeable. Consistency is derived from the variation in valid intervals between recent prose keystrokes; it is a rhythm signal, not a typing-quality certificate.
Latency, pairs, and fatigue
Median latency estimates the typical transition between keys. Pair analysis groups transitions by expected character sequence. For longer sessions, fatigue compares early and late pace; a change is a clue to repeat, not a diagnosis.
KPH for structured entry
Keystrokes per hour scales typed character activity to one hour. In TypeWorkout's 10-key mode, net KPH uses characters that remain correct. In the data-entry simulator, net KPH counts characters only in submitted fields that exactly match the source. Other tests may apply different error penalties, so compare KPH only when the format and scoring rule match.
