average wpm for secretary
A system of shorthand, on the other hand, is a way of reducing what you have written into a completely different language, for want of a better word, so that high speeds of writing are possible. Good shorthand will enable the secretary to write at speeds in excess of 80 words per minute and beyond. This means that the shorthand writer can easily take down dictation and continuous spoken matter for long durations, without suffering any fatigue in their writing.
