Measure your typing speed in words per minute, with accuracy and character counts.
Calculations happen locally. We do not send your values to our server.
Typing 250 characters in a minute scores 50 WPM, and 200 characters in 45 seconds scores about 53.33 WPM. The English sample has 80 characters, so finishing it in 20 seconds scores 48 WPM.
Timing begins with your first keystroke and ends when you press Finish test. Speed is reported in words per minute using the common convention that one word equals five characters, including spaces and punctuation, which keeps scores comparable across texts with words of different lengths.
The prompt and everything you type stay on your device and are never submitted. Scores on a phone touch keyboard are normally lower than on a physical keyboard, so compare results only within the same device and language.
Read the sample sentence, then start typing in the box; timing begins with your first keystroke and ends when you press Finish test. Speed is reported in words per minute using the common convention that one word equals five characters, including spaces and punctuation. Typing 250 characters in a minute scores 50 WPM, and 200 characters in 45 seconds scores about 53.33 WPM. The English sample has 80 characters, so finishing it in 20 seconds scores 48 WPM.
Accuracy compares each typed character with the character in the same position of the sample. A wrong letter affects only that position: typing abxdef for abcdef is 5 of 6 correct, about 83.33%. A missing or extra character shifts every later position, so typing abdef, which skips one letter, matches only the first two characters and scores 40%. Use Backspace to fix skipped or doubled letters before finishing; corrected text is compared in its final form. Speed counts all typed characters, so fast but inaccurate typing still needs work.
Take the test a few times and compare the typical score rather than the best one, because a single short sentence is sensitive to one hesitation. Sit comfortably, look at the text rather than the keys and aim for accuracy first; speed usually follows. Scores on a phone touch keyboard are normally lower than on a physical keyboard. For Japanese and Chinese, input methods convert kana or pinyin into characters, so the five-character word convention does not match how those languages are typed; compare scores only within the same language and device.

Yes. Use Backspace to repair skipped or doubled letters before finishing, because the corrected text is compared in its final form. Speed counts all typed characters, so fast but inaccurate typing still leaves work to do: aim for accuracy first and speed usually follows.
