Typing Speed Test
The Typing Speed Test measures how fast and accurately you type in words per minute (WPM), with tests from a quick 15 seconds to a full 2 minutes.
Measure your typing
Type the shown text as quickly and accurately as you can, and the test reports your speed in WPM alongside your accuracy percentage. WPM counts standardised five-character "words", so results are comparable to other typing tests. Errors reduce your effective speed, so accuracy matters as much as raw pace.
Improve with practice
Regular short tests are a proven way to build typing speed and muscle memory. Aim to keep your eyes on the text, not the keys, and prioritise accuracy first - speed follows. Average typists reach 40 WPM; 60–70+ is fast. Track your best score over time to see progress.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing speed?
Around 40 WPM is average; 60-70 WPM or more is considered fast. Professional typists often exceed 80 WPM.
How is WPM calculated?
It counts standardised five-character words typed per minute, with errors reducing your effective speed.
Why does accuracy matter as much as speed?
Mistakes cost time to fix and lower your net WPM, so accurate typing usually beats fast-but-error-prone typing.
How can I get faster?
Practise regularly, keep your eyes on the screen rather than the keys, and focus on accuracy first - speed follows.
