200ms
That's about the same as a trained touch typist. A 500-word page would take about 8.333 minutes.
What it means
How fast is that?
A "word" is five characters including the space, so numbers and long words count as more than one word each.
The math
How to convert WPM to ms
Milliseconds per character is the inverse of the rate: ms = 60,000 ÷ (WPM × 5). All the other units are simple multiples of one another.
Example: 60 WPM = 200 ms.
