A clean, distraction-free typing test that reports live words per minute, accuracy and character counts. Choose a 30, 60 or 120 second run, reset instantly, and know that nothing you type is ever recorded.
Getting started
Pick a test length — 30 seconds for a quick check, 60 seconds for the standard benchmark, or 120 seconds to measure stamina.
Click into the typing area and begin typing the passage shown. The timer starts on your first keystroke, not before.
Type naturally without looking at the keyboard. Correct mistakes if you notice them, but do not chase perfection at the cost of rhythm.
Watch your live WPM, accuracy and character count update as you go.
When the timer ends, review your net WPM and accuracy, then press reset for a fresh passage.
Why it helps
Live feedback shows exactly where your speed drops, rather than giving you a single number at the end.
Net WPM accounts for uncorrected errors, so the figure matches what employers and typing certifications actually measure.
Character-level highlighting makes recurring mistakes visible — most people find two or three keys account for most of their errors.
Nothing is stored, so there is no pressure from a visible history and no record of what you typed.
In practice
Checking your speed before applying for an administrative, transcription or data-entry role that specifies a WPM requirement.
Benchmarking a new keyboard or switching layouts, where a consistent test makes the comparison meaningful.
Warming up before a long writing session — two minutes of typing measurably improves accuracy for the following hour.
Tracking improvement during deliberate practice without needing an account or subscription.
Everything people ask most about the typing speed test, answered plainly.
