WPM is calculated live as you type so you can see your speed improving in real time.
Errors are highlighted in red and tracked throughout the test for a full accuracy score.
Your last 5 results are saved locally so you can track your progress over time.
Words mode, Sentences mode for natural text, and Numbers mode to practice digit entry.
WPM = (total characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ elapsed minutes. Dividing by 5 standardizes for average word length. This is 'gross WPM'. Net WPM additionally subtracts uncorrected errors.
Average: 40–60 WPM. Professional: 65–75 WPM. Touch typist: 80+ WPM. Expert: 100+ WPM. Most people can reach 60–80 WPM with consistent practice using proper touch-typing technique.
Accuracy = (correct characters ÷ total characters typed) × 100%. For example, 190 correct out of 200 typed = 95% accuracy.
Use all 10 fingers (touch typing). Focus on accuracy first — speed follows naturally. Maintain proper posture. Practice 15–30 minutes daily. Most people see significant improvement within 2–4 weeks.
Yes, you can use backspace to correct mistakes, but the error is still counted in your accuracy score. This mimics real-world typing conditions.
