To convert words per minute (WPM) to keystrokes per minute (KSPM), you generally multiply the WPM by the average number of keystrokes per word. Since a typical word is considered to be about 5 characters long (including spaces), you can use the formula: KSPM = WPM × 5. For example, if someone types at 60 WPM, their KSPM would be 60 × 5 = 300 KSPM.
40 wpm
Studies show humans can hear up to 300 WPM with full comprehension, although most audio books are at about 150-160 WPM.
That means that you have to type very fast (and accurately) to get the job. More specifically, you'd need to type, reliably, about 83.3 characters per minute or 16.7 wpm (words per minute).
