About this tool
Speed is measured in words per minute (WPM), where every five correct characters count as one word. Accuracy is the share of key presses that were correct, including mistakes you fixed afterwards. All passages are written for this site.
Good to know: Pasting is turned off so the test is fair. Results vary with the passage and the keyboard, so compare scores on the same level. Your best score is stored only in this browser.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good typing speed?
Many everyday typists reach around 40 words per minute, and fast typists exceed 70 or 80. Accuracy matters as much as speed, so aim for at least 95 percent.
How is WPM calculated?
Correct characters divided by five, divided by the minutes taken. Using five characters per word keeps scores comparable between passages.
