Re: Screen Readers | Rate = Words Per Minute

What do you mean by "examples"?

I know people who use screen readers occasionally, e.g. for testing, at 
rates under 200 wpm, and others who generally use rates between 400 and 600.

Or do you just want to know roughly what x% means in wpm - if so, the 
easiest thing might be to get a stopwatch and a piece of text of a known 
number of words...

If nothing appears, I guess I could publish this information somewhere

cheers
