How do you measure data entry speed

I’ve been tracking my data entry speed and noticed some small fluctuations depending on the tool I use. For example, I’ve seen a difference of nearly 30 entries per hour between software A and software B. What benchmarks do you all use to assess efficiency, and do you find similar gaps?

I totally get those differences — i’ve noticed similar gaps, especially when switching between tools. Do you track accuracy along with speed?

It’s interesting how the choice of software can feel like using a different set of weights at the gym. I usually measure entries per minute to get a clearer picture, but I’ve found that comfort with the tool can sometimes outweigh that speed difference. Have you tried using a stopwatch to see how your rhythm changes with each tool?

I’ve found that logging both speed and accuracy in a simple spreadsheet can reveal some interesting trends over time. It might help to balance your entries per hour with accuracy checks — have you tried something like that, @RemoteJace?
