Some random facts:

In one study of average computer users, the average rate for transcription was 33 words per minute, and only 19 words per minute for composition.
The fastest typing speed ever, 216 words per minute, was achieved by Stella Pajunas-Garnand from Chicago in 1946 in one minute on an IBM electric.
The average human being hand-writes at 31 words per minute for memorized text and 22 words per minute while copying.
The average American adult reads prose text at 250 to 300 words per minute.
Audiobooks are recommended to be 150–160 words per minute, which is the range that people comfortably hear and vocalize words.
John Moschitta, Jr. was listed in Guinness World Records, for a time, as the world's fastest speaker, being able to talk at 586 wpm. He has since been surpassed by Steve Woodmore, who has achieved a rate of 595 wpm.
