What does this tool do?
The Typing Speed Test measures your words-per-minute (WPM) and accuracy with a quick test on random sentences. You see your typing speed and precision in real time and can track your progress with practice.
How to use it
- Paste your text into the input area.
- Adjust the options to fit your needs.
- Copy the processed text.
How it is measured
WPM is calculated with the standard convention of counting every 5 characters as one word: (total characters / 5) / elapsed minutes. Accuracy is the ratio of correctly typed characters to total characters, and the timer starts the moment you press the first key.
Common use cases
Students and office workers use it to raise keyboard speed, and job seekers with a WPM target use it to practice. Regular tests help you notice mistyped keys and improve your touch-typing skill.
Frequently asked questions
How exactly is WPM calculated?
The total characters you typed are divided by 5 to get a word count, which is then divided by the elapsed time in minutes — the industry-standard five-character definition of a word.
Does accuracy affect the WPM?
WPM reflects raw typing speed while accuracy is reported separately; typing very fast but inaccurately can yield a high WPM that, paired with low accuracy, does not reflect real performance.
