[nfbcs] jaws speed

Years ago, I found a reading speed test on the internet. I hit the start
button and read the passage. I was listening at 65% back then, I do believe.
The test said I read 576 WPM. The 112, I don't believe is 112 WPM. I know I
read way faster than that.

Warm regards,
Sahar Husseini

I've never been asked this at an interview, and I'm not sure what any number
would mean to an employer since I don't think they typically ask this
question of sighted interviewers, so I doubt they'd have a good frame of
reference. I guess if I were asked, I'd say I don't know but fast enough to
get the job done.
