The 2026 home average of 56 words per minute is about 9 percent above the 51.56 words per minute average typist in a large online test.

Checked against its source on October 17, 2026

What it measures: The two averages come from different sources: one participant's home communication with an implant, and an online typing test with 136 million keystrokes.
How it is calculated: (56 - 51.56) / 51.56 = 0.086, about 9 percent
What it does not show: Not a like-for-like comparison. The typing average is for people taking an online test, and the implant figure is one person's average over varied real use.
