⚡ Typing Speed Test

About the Typing Speed Test

The Typing Speed Test measures your words-per-minute (WPM) and accuracy in a timed session. Pick a duration, start typing, and see live stats — current WPM, accuracy percentage, and the running count of correct vs. incorrect characters — as you go.

Everything runs entirely in your browser. Your keystrokes are never sent anywhere, and nothing is stored after the page closes unless you download your certificate.

What you can control

• Test duration: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes
• Random word prompts pulled from a 100+ word common-English bank
• Live progress bar, accuracy meter, and WPM counter
• Final summary with WPM, accuracy, characters typed, and total words
• Downloadable PDF certificate with your result

Common uses

• Benchmarking your typing speed before a job application or interview
• Tracking improvement over weeks of practice
• Warming up before a long writing or coding session
• Friendly competition with friends, classmates, or coworkers

Tips

• Sit with both feet flat on the floor and hands at home row (ASDF / JKL;)
• Prioritize accuracy first — speed follows automatically as your fingers learn the layout
• Glance at the words you're about to type, not the keys
• Try the 1-minute test daily; you'll see steady gains over a few weeks

40 WPM is roughly average for office work, 60–80 WPM is fast, and anything over 100 WPM is professional-grade. Don't worry about hitting a number — consistent practice does the work for you.
