Calculators & Time
Test your typing speed
Start typing the passage and the clock starts with you. Speed and accuracy update as you go, and correct characters are the only ones that count.

Passage
Speed is measured with the standard convention of five characters to a word, so the score is comparable with other typing tests. Only correctly typed characters count toward it — accuracy is not a separate score you can trade away.

How it works
Five characters to a word
The standard convention, used by every typing test worth comparing against. Counting actual words would make the score depend on how long the words in the passage happen to be, so a result would mean nothing outside this page.
Only correct characters count
Accuracy is not a separate score you can trade speed against. Typing fast and wrong lowers the words-per-minute figure directly, because incorrect characters are excluded from it.
The clock starts with the first keystroke
Not when the page loads. Reading the passage first costs nothing, which is how a typing test should work.
What it does
Live colouring
Correct characters green, mistakes marked, and the cursor showing where you are.
Three passages
Different lengths and vocabulary, so a second run is not just muscle memory.
Runs in your browser
No account and no upload — what you type is never sent anywhere. Analytics records that the tool was opened, never what you put into it.
Practical advice
Getting a better result
- Accuracy first. At the same effort, typing carefully usually scores higher than typing fast, because errors are excluded from the count.
- Around 40 words per minute is average for an adult; 60 to 70 is a fast touch typist; above 100 is unusual.
- The passages contain ordinary punctuation on purpose — a test of lowercase letters alone flatters everyone.
Questions
Things people ask
How is words per minute calculated?
Correctly typed characters divided by five, divided by the elapsed minutes. The five-character convention is what makes scores comparable between tests, since real words vary in length.
What is a good typing speed?
About 40 words per minute is the adult average. Competent touch typists reach 60 to 70, professional typists 80 to 100. Above that is rare and usually the result of deliberate practice rather than volume.
