Typing Speed Test

Measure your typing speed in WPM with live accuracy — 15, 30 or 60 seconds.

The Typing Speed Test measures how fast you type: choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds, type the random words as they highlight, and get your words-per-minute score with accuracy at the end.

Average typing speed is around 40 WPM; 60–80 WPM is comfortably above average for professionals, and touch typists often pass 80. Knowing your number makes improvement measurable — retest weekly and watch the WPM climb as your muscle memory builds.

The test uses common words at a readable size, highlights your current word, and marks errors as you type. Everything runs locally — no accounts, no data collected, nothing stored.

Frequently asked questions

How is WPM calculated?

WPM = (characters typed correctly ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. The '/5' is the standard 'one word = five characters' convention, which makes scores comparable across tests.

What is a good typing speed?

40 WPM is about average, 60–70 is above average for office work, and 80+ is where transcriptionists and fast programmers live. Accuracy above 95% matters more than raw speed for real work.

How do I improve my typing speed?

Touch typing beats hunt-and-peck every time: keep eyes on the screen, practice daily in short sessions, and favor accuracy — speed follows correct keystroke patterns.
