please incorporate word count instead of the useless character count. the industry metric for typing is 'word count' not characters.

the implementation for this is pretty trivial - record the typing time between spaces and average it.

We will implement this feature in our next software version. The online version (which is available in German and will be available in English in 1 or 2 weeks) already has this feature (you can select between W(ords)pm, C(characters)pm, S(trokes)pm).
