How the Typing Speed Test works
A random passage appears above the input box. Start typing to begin — the timer starts on your first keystroke, not before, so reading time never counts against you. Each character you type is checked against the passage in real time: correct characters turn white, mistakes turn red, and you can backspace to fix them.
Your result is shown in words per minute (WPM), calculated from your correctly typed characters, along with your overall accuracy. The test ends automatically once you've typed the full passage.
FAQ
Typing Speed Test FAQ
WPM stands for words per minute, using the standard convention of one "word" equaling 5 characters. We count the characters you typed correctly, divide by 5, then divide by the elapsed time in minutes — so mistakes you leave uncorrected lower your score.
