Typing Speed Test

Measure typing speed and accuracy against an original practice passage.

Processed on your device

A useful tool should be easy to find and simple to understand. Clear labels, thoughtful defaults and a quick result can turn a small task into a moment of progress.

The timer starts on your first keystroke.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose a passage and start typing to begin timing.
  2. Finish the passage or stop to see gross/net words per minute and character accuracy.

Things to know

  • One standard word equals five characters. Timing and scoring remain in memory and are not saved to a leaderboard.
  • The UI uses three short bundled passages and caps typing at passage length. Scoring also rejects samples over 10,000 characters. One active timing interval is cleaned up on completion/reset/unmount.
