Assuming an average of 6 characters per word, 120-140 words per minute would translate to 720-840 characters per minute. Double-spaced, a page typically contains around 250 words or 1500 characters. Therefore, the equivalent time on a typed double-spaced manuscript would be approximately one-half to two-thirds of a page.
