Typing Speed Test
Test your typing speed and accuracy. Track your words per minute (WPM) and identify areas for improvement.
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.

- •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:

- •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.
