Typing Speed Test

Free typing speed test with live WPM, raw speed and accuracy tracking. Choose a 15, 30, 60 or 120 second run and beat your personal best.

The Typing Speed Test measures your words-per-minute and accuracy in real time as you type a given passage, with a choice of 15, 30, 60 or 120 second test durations. As you type, the test tracks both raw speed and net speed after accounting for mistakes, giving a realistic picture of practical typing performance rather than just how fast your fingers can move.

It's a quick way to check your current typing speed, warm up before a data-entry task, or track improvement over repeated attempts as you build muscle memory. Because everything runs locally, there's no signup needed to try a test — just pick a duration and start typing to see live WPM and accuracy update as you go.

How to use the Typing Speed Test

  1. Choose a test duration: 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds.
  2. Click into the typing area and begin typing the displayed passage as accurately and quickly as you can.
  3. Watch your live WPM and accuracy percentage update as you type.
  4. Finish the test once the timer ends, or complete the full passage if it ends sooner.
  5. Review your final net WPM, raw WPM and accuracy score, then try again to beat your result.

Why use this tool

Live WPM and accuracy tracking

Speed and accuracy figures update continuously during the test rather than only appearing at the end, giving immediate feedback on typing rhythm and mistakes as they happen.

Multiple test durations

Choosing between 15, 30, 60 and 120 second tests allows a quick check or a longer, more representative measurement of sustained typing speed depending on how much time you have.

Net vs raw speed distinction

Separating raw typing speed from net speed after errors gives a clearer, more honest measurement of practical typing ability than a raw character count alone would.

Common use cases

How WPM is calculated

One word is standardised as five characters for scoring purposes. Net WPM counts only correctly typed characters, divides by five, then divides by the minutes elapsed — the same method used by professional typing test standards, which is why net WPM is usually lower than raw WPM once mistakes are factored in.

What counts as a good typing speed?

Around 40 WPM is considered an average typing speed, 60–80 WPM is fast, and professional typists often exceed 100 WPM. Accuracy above 95% generally matters more for real-world productivity than chasing the highest possible raw speed, since correcting mistakes afterwards costs more time than typing slightly slower and getting it right first time.

Improving typing speed over time

Consistent short practice sessions tend to build speed more reliably than occasional long ones, since typing speed is largely a matter of muscle memory. Focusing on accuracy first and allowing speed to increase naturally as errors reduce is generally more effective than trying to type faster while still making frequent mistakes.
