What is the Typing Speed Test?

Our free Typing Speed Test measures exactly how fast and accurately you type. In each timed session you see your Words Per Minute (WPM), accuracy percentage, number of correct words, incorrect words, and total characters typed. Choose from 1-minute, 2-minute, or 5-minute test durations and from multiple text difficulty levels — common words, sentences, quotes, or programming snippets. After every test a detailed scorecard shows your net WPM, gross WPM, accuracy, and a character-by-character error heatmap so you know exactly which keys slow you down. All results are stored locally so you can track improvement over time without any account.

Frequently Asked Questions — Typing Speed Test

What is a good typing speed in WPM?

The average typist achieves 40–60 WPM. Professional typists typically hit 70–100 WPM. Touch-typists can exceed 120 WPM. Anything above 60 WPM is considered above average.

What is the difference between gross WPM and net WPM?

Gross WPM is your raw typing speed including errors. Net WPM subtracts uncorrected errors (each error deducts 1 WPM). Net WPM is the standard professional measure.

Does the typing test save my score?

Yes — your last 20 scores are automatically saved to your browser's localStorage so you can track progress over multiple sessions, with no account required.

Can I use this typing test in my language?

Yes. The interface is available in English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Indonesian. The test passages adapt to the selected language.

How is accuracy calculated?

Accuracy = (correct characters ÷ total characters typed) × 100. Every backspace-corrected or skipped character counts as an error in the gross count.
