Typing Speed Test

How the typing speed test works

Click the typing area and start typing. The timer starts on your first keystroke, and the live panel updates WPM, accuracy, errors and keystrokes as you go. If you switch windows the test pauses instead of quietly losing your place.

• Duration: 15, 30 or 60 seconds, or Endless — type the whole text and the run ends on the last word.
• Text: common English words, a set of code tokens, or your own pasted text.
• Net WPM: correct characters divided by 5, per minute — the standard "5 characters = 1 word" convention.
• Raw WPM: every character you typed, right or wrong.
• Accuracy: correct keystrokes divided by total keystrokes; characters typed past the end of a word count as errors.
• Consistency: how steady your per-second speed was, shown in the bar chart under the result.

Use Space or Enter to move to the next word (line breaks in pasted text count as word breaks too), Backspace to fix the current word, Esc to restart and Tab to leave the field. Your last five runs stay on this device so you can compare them.

Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded, and custom text plus score history are only stored locally when "remember tool data" is enabled.
