TYPING PRACTICE
Improve your speed without losing accuracy
Speed alone doesn't tell the full story. A useful typing test shows how quickly you type and how many characters you get right. Practising at a steady pace helps build reliable keyboard habits.
Watch your mistakes
Characters highlighted in orange need correction. Use Backspace to fix them, then continue instead of rushing.
Compare equal-length tests
Your score varies by passage and duration. Compare several tests of the same length to see whether you are improving.
What do WPM, CPM and accuracy mean?
Words per minute (WPM) measures the number of correctly typed characters, divided by five, per minute. Characters per minute (CPM) counts the characters you type per minute, including mistakes. Accuracy is the percentage of your currently typed characters matching the reference text in their correct positions.
Time starts with your first input. Editing mistakes with Backspace updates your current score; pasting the reference text is disabled to keep the test meaningful.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Typing test FAQs
How is WPM calculated?
WPM is calculated as correctly typed characters divided by five, then divided by elapsed minutes. It is a standard estimate of words typed rather than a count of dictionary words.
Does the timer start immediately?
No. The countdown begins when you type the first character in the test input box. You can prepare and read the text before starting.
Can I test my typing speed for free?
Yes. This test works directly in your browser without installing software or creating an account.
Can I choose my own text?
Yes. Choose Custom text in Practice mode, enter at least 20 characters and begin typing. The custom passage stays in your browser.
Where are my past typing scores saved?
Your recent test results are saved in your browser's local storage, not in an online account. You can clear the history at any time. Private browsing or clearing website data may erase it.
Will this work on a phone?
Yes. You can use a phone or tablet keyboard, although comparing tests on the same device and keyboard gives more useful progress measurements.
