Basic Knowledge
Difference between keystrokes/min and WPM
Keystrokes/min is the number of keys correctly pressed in one minute, while WPM is an estimate of words typed per minute. In the typing world, 5 keystrokes equal 1 word, so divide keystrokes/min by 5 to get WPM.
- 5 keystrokes = 1 word conversion：Since English words vary in length, 5 keystrokes (including spaces) equal 1 word for standardized speed comparison. 300 keystrokes per minute equals 60 WPM.
- Japanese is measured in keystrokes/min：In romaji input, the number of keystrokes per character varies by character representation, so Japanese typing speed is best compared by keystrokes/min per minute, with WPM shown as a reference value.
Differences in romaji input methods
Japanese romaji input has Hepburn, Nihon-shiki, and abbreviated methods, so the same character can be typed multiple ways. Since common IMEs accept all methods, this tool accepts all as correct.
- Spelling variation examples：し (shi) can be input as si, shi, or ci. じゃ (ja) can be typed as ja, jya, or zya. っ (tsu) is either a doubled consonant or xtu.
- Distinguishing ん (n)：ん can be reliably input as nn, and can be shortened to a single n only when the next character starts with a consonant. Before sentence-end, vowels, na-row, or ya-row characters, nn is required.
Typing speed benchmarks
For Japanese romaji input, around 200 keystrokes/min is the typical benchmark, and over 300 is considered fast. For English, around 40 WPM is average, and over 60 WPM is considered fast.
- Accuracy before speed：Since retyping mistakes slows you down, maintaining accuracy while gradually increasing speed ultimately yields higher keystroke counts.
