I was about in the 120 word per minute range when I used it every day for my
computer programming and sometimes reading a novel for pleasure. I'm sure I'm
not that fast now, but I don't use it as much.

When in my prime, reading 8-hours aday at work, then later for pleasure, I
did memos
in a familiar font in the mid 150WPM range. For books once I'd
become familiar with the font and layout of the book in the 120's. Mail
down to
about 80 to 100wpm, slower for bills and the like even with familiar format,
because they stick in advertising squibs, and frequently diddle the format.
Nowadays,
with my partner Sir Arthur Itis, and infrequent use, it's in the misserible
60wpm range.

Sarah,
I would probably be considered one of those super-fast optacon users and I
probably read about 120 words a minute if the print is clear and the
material is somewhat familiar. It's less than that depending on the print
and the difficulty of what I'm reading. I haven't timed myself lately
though.
