Plover WPM Meter

================

This is a plugin for Plover to display your typing speed as you type, in

either or both of words per minute or strokes per minute:

-  **Words per minute**: Shows the rate at which you stroked words in

   the last 10 and 60 seconds.

-  **Strokes per word**: Shows how efficiently you stroked words in

   the last 10 and 60 seconds. Lower values are more efficient, e.g. a

   value of 1 means that on average it took you one stroke to write out

   a word.

A word is defined in one of three ways:

-  **NCRA**: The `National Court Reporters Association`_ defines a

   “word” as 1.4 syllables. This is the measure used for official NCRA

   testing material.

-  **Traditional**: The traditional metric for “word” in the context of

   keyboarding is defined to be 5 characters per word, including spaces.

   This is compatible with the notion of “word” in many typing speed

   utilities.

-  **Spaces**: A word is a whitespace-separated sequence of characters.

   This metric of course doesn’t take into account the fact that some

   words are longer than others, both in length and syllables.

The meters look like this:
