Typing Speed Test

About this tool

Type the displayed passage as quickly and accurately as you can. The timer starts on your first keystroke; words per minute (WPM) and accuracy update live as you go, and the test finishes automatically once you've typed the whole passage.

Frequently asked questions

How is WPM calculated?

Using the standard convention of one "word" equaling 5 characters (including spaces), divided by elapsed time in minutes — this is the typical method used by most typing test sites, so results should be roughly comparable.

How is accuracy calculated?

The percentage of typed characters that match the target passage at the same position, checked continuously as you type — a wrong character lowers accuracy until it's corrected.

Can I use backspace to fix mistakes?

Yes — corrections are reflected immediately in both the live display and the accuracy calculation.
