Typing Speed

15, 30 or 60 seconds of everyday words. WPM, raw WPM, accuracy and consistency.

No account. No tracking. Your results stay with you.

Ready

Type the words as they appear.

The timer starts with your first keystroke. Backspace is allowed.

15 s30 s60 s

Needs a keyboard (physical or on-screen). Works with screen readers that echo typed characters.

How this is measured

Type the everyday words shown, separated by spaces. The timer starts with your first keystroke and runs for 15, 30 or 60 seconds. Backspace is allowed; pasting is not. The text is bundled with the page — nothing is fetched.

Human watches what your text box contains after every change rather than individual key codes, because on-screen keyboards often don't report keys. Curly quotes and dashes from “smart punctuation” count as the plain characters.

Scoring

net WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes raw WPM = (typed characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes accuracy = correct keystrokes ÷ all keystrokes × 100

By convention every 5 characters — letters, spaces and punctuation alike — count as one word. Correct characters are the positions where your final text matches the target.

Corrected errors are characters you typed wrongly and then deleted; uncorrected errors are still wrong at the end. Keystroke accuracy counts every mistake, even the ones you fixed. Consistency is 100 × (1 − SD ÷ mean) of your raw WPM in each full second.

What can affect the result

Your keyboard (physical keyboards are much faster than on-screen ones), its layout and your familiarity with the words.
Warm-up: most people type faster on their second or third attempt.
Test length: short tests reward bursts; long tests reward stamina. Results are compared only with the same duration.

What this does not mean

Typing speed is a practised skill. It says nothing about intelligence, and it isn't a certified typing qualification.
It is not a medical, psychological, neurological or hiring assessment, and it cannot diagnose or screen for anything.
