A fast, accurate and free online typing test designed to help you improve your keyboarding skills, measure your Words Per Minute (WPM) and become a confident typist.
Typing speed and accuracy are key skills for study and work. Whether you are a student, an office worker, a programmer or someone preparing for a job, knowing your baseline WPM is the first step to improving it. Our test gives real-time feedback, highlights mistakes and shows your accuracy as you type.
Regular practice builds muscle memory. When you learn the keyboard through touch typing instead of hunting for each key, your eyes stay on the text and your speed grows naturally.
In professional typing tests a "word" is counted as 5 keystrokes, including spaces and punctuation. This keeps results fair no matter which text you type.
How many 5-character words you typed in one minute.
Your gross speed minus uncorrected errors, so accuracy matters as much as speed.
The percentage of correct keystrokes out of all keystrokes.
Sit up straight, keep your feet flat and keep a comfortable distance from the screen.
Do not look at the keyboard. Trust your fingers to find the keys.
Speed comes from accuracy. Type slowly and correctly first, then speed up.
Rest your index fingers on the F and J keys and return to them after every word.
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. Office jobs usually expect 40–50 WPM, and speeds above 80 WPM are considered fast.
A 5 to 10 minute test every day is enough to see clear improvement within a few weeks.
Yes. Uncorrected mistakes lower your net WPM and your accuracy, so it is better to type carefully.
