Check typing accuracy and speed against a short passage.
How to use Typing test
- Read the displayed passage.
- Type it into the box and watch the accuracy and speed feedback.
- Choose Restart to clear the attempt and begin again.
How Typing test works
The typing test shows a short passage. As soon as you type the first character, the timer starts and you see live accuracy and speed. Speed is words per minute, counting every five typed characters as one word, and accuracy is the share of your typed characters that match the passage at the same position. Errors you fix with backspace no longer count against you. Pasted text gets no speed score, and the test runs in your browser.
Before you start
Click into the typing box and be ready before you press the first key, because the timer starts on that keystroke. Use Restart to clear an attempt and try again.
A worked example
Typing the full 76-character passage correctly in about 19 seconds shows Accuracy: 100%, Speed: 49 WPM and Complete, because 76 characters is 15.2 words and 15.2 divided by about 0.31 minutes is 49.
What to expect
Check typing accuracy and speed against a short passage. Speed uses five characters per word. Accuracy compares your characters with the displayed passage. This is a short practice test, not a standardized assessment.
Common questions
How is words per minute calculated?
The standard convention treats five characters, including spaces and punctuation, as one word. The test divides the characters you have typed by five, then divides by the minutes since your first keystroke. Speed appears after the first second; before that it reads measuring.
Do typing mistakes lower my WPM?
Not directly. Speed counts every character you type, right or wrong, so it is a gross speed. Mistakes show up in the accuracy figure instead. If you fix an error with backspace, the corrected text is compared again and accuracy can go back up.
How is typing accuracy calculated?
Each typed character is compared with the passage character in the same position, and accuracy is the matching share, rounded to a whole percent. Typing The quikc brown fox gives 89 percent, since 17 of 19 characters match. A skipped letter shifts later characters out of position, so fix it quickly.
What is a good typing speed?
Results from one short passage vary a lot, so take several attempts and look at the typical number. Treat this as practice feedback rather than a certified score. Aim to raise accuracy first, since fast typing with many errors usually costs more time to correct.
Why did I get no speed score?
Pasting text into the box turns off the timed score, and the message asks you to restart and type the passage. The test also ignores timing if the box already held more than one character when timing started. Press Restart and type the passage from the beginning.
