How it works
- Choose 1, 3 or 5 minutes (1 minute is the default).
- Click the text and start typing — the timer starts with your first key.
- Watch your live WPM, accuracy and mistakes.
- When time runs out, see your results and try again.
How WPM is calculated
A "word" is counted as 5 characters, including spaces. WPM is the number of correctly typed characters divided by 5, divided by the minutes elapsed. Raw WPM counts every typed character, right or wrong.
What accuracy means
Accuracy is the share of your keystrokes that were correct. If you type a wrong letter and fix it with backspace, it still counts as a mistake, so accuracy reflects how cleanly you typed, not just the final text.
How to improve typing speed
- Keep your fingers resting on the home row (ASDF and JKL;).
- Look at the screen, not the keyboard.
- Slow down until you make few mistakes — speed follows accuracy.
- Practice for 5–10 minutes a day rather than one long session.

Supported formats
Works with any physical keyboard. It also works on phones and tablets, but on-screen keyboards are usually slower, so scores aren't directly comparable.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good typing speed?
Many people type around 35–45 WPM. 60 WPM or more is fast for everyday work. Accuracy matters as much as speed.
Is this a typing speed test or a WPM test?
Both — it measures your typing speed in words per minute (WPM), along with accuracy and mistakes, on one page.
Why is pasting disabled?
So your score reflects real typing. Everything else on your keyboard works normally.
