What qualifies as a good typing speed depends on the population you're examining: the general population or professionals. The average person types between 38 and 40 words per minute -- between 190 and 200 characters per minute. However, professional typists type a lot faster on average -- upwards of 65 to 75 WPM. A good typing speed compared to the general population would be over 40 WPM, but compared to professionals it would be in the 75 WPM range.
First, you need to improve typing skills by learning to type faster. The standard unit of measure in typing speed is Words per Minute. Anyone can simply sit down and bang away at the keys on the keyboard quickly, but that ignores the second skill needed if you want to improve typing skills: improve typing accuracy.
