Measure typing speed in words per minute, accuracy, and characters per minute with timed practice passages in your browser.

Measure typing speed in your browser

Type the highlighted passage while the timer counts down. Words per minute (WPM) uses the standard five characters per word, including spaces. You also see accuracy, characters per minute (CPM), and a full results summary when time runs out or you finish the text.

How WPM is calculated

WPM equals correct characters divided by five, divided by elapsed minutes. Accuracy is the share of typed characters that match the passage. Focus on steady accuracy first; speed usually improves with short daily practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the timer start?

The countdown begins on your first keystroke, so you can read the passage before typing.

What timer lengths are available?

Choose 30, 60, or 120 seconds. Changing duration restarts the test with a new passage.

Is my typing sent to a server?

No. The test runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.

Can I restart mid-test?

Yes. Use Restart to reset the timer, clear your input, and load another practice passage.
