What is Typing Speed?

Typing speed is measured in Words Per Minute (WPM) and indicates how fast you can type accurately. It's an essential skill for productivity in today's digital world. Accuracy is equally important as speed, and this test measures both to give you a comprehensive assessment of your typing skills.

Typing Speed Levels:

Beginner

10-20 WPM - Learning the basics

Average

30-40 WPM - Typical office worker

Good

50-60 WPM - Above average typist

Excellent

70+ WPM - Professional level

How to Use the Typing Test:

  1. Select your preferred test duration (30, 60, or 120 seconds)
  2. Click "Start Test" to begin the typing challenge
  3. Type the displayed text as accurately as possible
  4. Focus on accuracy first, then speed will naturally follow
  5. The test ends automatically when time runs out
  6. View your WPM, accuracy, and detailed statistics

Tips to Improve Your Typing:

  • Use proper finger placement on the home row (ASDF JKL;)
  • Practice touch typing without looking at the keyboard
  • Maintain good posture and hand position while typing
  • Focus on accuracy before increasing speed
  • Practice regularly with consistent 15-30 minute sessions
  • Take breaks to avoid repetitive strain injuries
  • Use typing practice software for targeted improvement

Understanding Your Results:

  • WPM (Words Per Minute): Average number of words typed per minute
  • Accuracy: Percentage of characters typed correctly
  • Adjusted WPM: WPM minus errors (most accurate measure)

💡 Pro Tip

Aim for 95%+ accuracy before focusing on speed. A high accuracy rate with moderate speed is better than fast typing with many errors. Perfect your technique first, and speed will improve naturally with practice.
