Typing speed test

There is no separate input box: you type right on top of the text, and each letter turns correct or wrong as you go. It works on phones and tablets too. Choose how the test ends:

• Time: 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds of typing.
• Words: finish 10, 25, 50 or 100 words as fast as you can.
• Quote: type a full passage from start to end.

Add punctuation and numbers for a harder, more realistic test, and pick English or Hungarian text. Live WPM shows while you type. Keyboard shortcuts keep you moving: Tab + Enter restarts the same test and Esc loads a new text.

Typing tests use a standard word of 5 characters, spaces and punctuation included, so long and short words count fairly.

• Raw (gross) WPM = all typed characters ÷ 5 ÷ minutes.
• Net WPM = raw WPM minus uncorrected errors per minute.
• Accuracy = correct keystrokes ÷ all keystrokes.

Example: in 1 minute you type 230 characters and leave 4 mistakes uncorrected. Raw WPM = 230 ÷ 5 = 46. Net WPM = 46 − 4 = 42 WPM. If 218 of the 230 keystrokes were correct, accuracy is about 94.8%.

A wrong letter that you delete and retype still counts as a keystroke, so fixing mistakes costs time and accuracy but not net WPM.

• Net and raw WPM: a big gap between them means errors are holding you back more than speed.
• Consistency: how steady your speed was, as a percentage. Higher means an even rhythm rather than bursts and pauses.
• Character stats: correct, incorrect, missed and extra characters. Many extra characters suggest you type ahead without checking; many missed ones that you skip letters.
• WPM graph: your speed second by second, with errors marked, so you can see whether you slow down on hard words or tire toward the end.

Compare results from the same mode and settings only. A 15-second sprint usually scores higher than a 2-minute test, and punctuation and numbers slow almost everyone down.

These bands are rough guidance, not official standards. Some jobs, such as data entry, transcription and administrative roles, list a minimum WPM in the posting, usually together with an accuracy requirement. Practice the setting the test will use, often a timed test with punctuation.

• Accuracy first. Every mistake costs a backspace and a retype. Slow down until you hit about 95% accuracy, and speed follows.
• Touch type. Keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF and JKL;) and stop looking at the keyboard. The typing practice lessons teach finger placement step by step.
• Read ahead. Look one or two words beyond what you are typing so your fingers never wait.
• Use a light touch. Pressing every key all the way down with force tires your hands.
• Practice short and often. Ten to fifteen minutes a day beats an hour once a week, and fatigue builds bad habits.
• Check your weak spots. If the graph dips at the same words, practice them, or switch on numbers and punctuation to train the top row.

Your top 10 results for each mode are kept on a local leaderboard, and every test goes into your history with a progress chart, so you can see your WPM climb over weeks. All of it is stored only in this browser; nothing is uploaded, and clearing your browser data resets it. Pasting is blocked so results reflect real typing.
