I guess 60-70 WPM at >95% accuracy? I have not obtained the needed certification :)

My mom went to a secretary/business assistant school in the '70s and the typing class (on a typewriter!) required using ten fingers and touch typing. The expectation was you'd be fast enough to transcribe someone dictating (they learned to use stenography for faster situations).
