Philippines typing tests

The biggest typing demand in the Philippines comes from BPO and call-centre hiring, where 35 to 50 WPM on a short online test is standard. Court stenographers, government encoders and home-based transcriptionists have their own targets.

Frequently asked questions

What typing speed do call centres require?
Entry voice accounts accept 30 to 35 WPM; chat and email support usually require 45 to 50 WPM with 90 percent accuracy or better.
Does the Civil Service Exam have typing?
No. The CSC professional and sub-professional exams have no typing module; the sub-professional exam includes a clerical ability section instead.
What do court stenographers need?
Stenography at 80 to 120 WPM (pen or machine) plus around 40 WPM typing for transcription.
