Typing Speed Test
Test your typing speed with real-time WPM, accuracy, and character tracking.
How to Use the Typing Speed Test
Read the sample text displayed at the top, then start typing it in the text box below. The timer starts automatically when you begin typing. Your WPM, accuracy, and elapsed time update in real time.
How It Works
- WPM (Words Per Minute) — calculated using the standard of 5 characters per word, based on correctly typed characters
- Accuracy — percentage of correctly typed characters compared to total typed characters
- Color feedback — green for correct characters, red for incorrect, highlighted for current position
- Timer — starts on first keypress and stops when you finish the text
Tips to Improve
Focus on accuracy first, speed will follow. Keep your eyes on the sample text, not the keyboard. Practice regularly for best results.
