Typing Speed Test

How to use this tool

A useful typing result includes accuracy as well as speed. Use the same test length and text mode when comparing sessions, because punctuation and short bursts change the difficulty.

1. Choose 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds and either everyday words or sentences.
2. Read the first few words, then type in the box. Your first character starts the clock.
3. Use Backspace to correct mistakes. At the end, compare WPM and accuracy together.

How the result is calculated

One standard word is five correct characters, including correctly typed spaces and punctuation. WPM = correct characters ÷ 5 ÷ elapsed minutes. For example, 150 correct characters in 30 seconds gives 60 WPM. Accuracy uses typing attempts: 196 correct attempts out of 200 is 98%. A mistake still counts against accuracy after you erase it.

Make practice repeatable

Try one 60-second test as a starting point, then practise slowly enough to avoid repeated corrections. Use sentences when you want to practise Shift and punctuation. Compare several runs on the same keyboard; a single unusually fast run is less useful than a steady improvement with similar accuracy.
