50 words a minute is about average. It would be hard to get a job with that speed. But if you did data entry and typed without errors you could increase your speed very fast. But for a home user that is a good speed.

40 WPM is average & generally the minimum requirement for most office work. As far as programs....well I type 96 WPM & that's mainly b/c I spend a lot of time in chat rooms ;-) (In other words, sorry don't know any programs that teach typing, just know that practice makes perfect!)
