Our advanced typing test provides real-time feedback on your typing speed and accuracy, similar to popular platforms like Monkeytype. Features include:
For most office jobs, 40-50 WPM (words per minute) is acceptable. Data entry jobs require 60-80 WPM. Professional typists and transcriptionists aim for 80-100+ WPM. For IT/software roles, 40-50 WPM with accuracy above 95% is generally sufficient.
To improve typing speed: 1) Practice daily for 15-30 minutes 2) Focus on accuracy first, speed will follow 3) Learn proper finger placement (home row keys) 4) Use all 10 fingers 5) Take our typing test regularly to track progress. Most people see 10-20 WPM improvement within 2-3 weeks of consistent practice.
Government typing exams in India typically require: SSC CGL - 35 WPM (English), 30 WPM (Hindi). SSC CHSL - 35 WPM (English). Court Stenographer - 80-100 WPM shorthand. Speed is calculated on net words (total words minus errors × penalty).
30 WPM is below average for most office jobs but acceptable for entry-level positions. For IT and corporate roles, aim for at least 40 WPM. With 2-3 weeks of practice, most people can increase from 30 to 45-50 WPM.
Typing accuracy = (Correct Characters / Total Characters Typed) × 100. A 95%+ accuracy is considered good. In our test, we highlight errors in real-time and calculate both gross WPM (total words) and net WPM (after error penalty).
In the digital age, your typing speed is the speed limit of your productivity. The **Typing Speed Test** is a professional-grade diagnostic tool designed to measure your raw input velocity (WPM) and precision. Whether you are a student writing essays, a developer coding apps, or a professional drafting emails, improving your typing speed can save you hundreds of hours a year. This tool provides a distraction-free environment to test your baseline and track your improvement over time.
Select a 1-minute sprint for speed or 5-minute marathon for endurance.
Begin typing the highlighted text immediately. The timer starts when you press the first key.
Fix red-highlighted errors to improve your accuracy score.
See your WPM, accuracy, and raw CPM (Characters Per Minute).
The test presents randomized, common English words and sentences. It measures: **WPM (Words Per Minute)**: The standard measure. One "word" is standardized as 5 characters including spaces. **Accuracy**: The percentage of correct keystrokes. **CPM (Characters Per Minute)**: A more granular measure often used for data entry roles. The tool highlights errors in real-time, forcing you to acknowledge mistakes, which is critical for learning touch typing.
**Productivity Boost**: Moving from 30 WPM to 60 WPM literally doubles your writing output speed. **Reduced Fatigue**: Touch typing requires less mental effort to find keys, letting you focus on *what* you are writing, not *how*. **Career Requirement**: Many data entry, support, and transcription jobs have strict WPM requirements (often 50+).
**Data Entry Interviews**: Practice for screening tests. **Coding Bootcamps**: Developers need to type special characters fluently. **Kids Learning**: Building foundational computer skills.
Built with low-latency React state management to capture keystrokes instantly without lag, ensuring accuracy down to the millisecond. It uses a corpus of common English words to generate realistic testing scenarios.
Don't look at the keyboard. Use the on-screen guides or printed layouts if you are learning.
Focus on accuracy first. Speed is useless if you have to backspace every third word.
Sit with good posture. Your wrists should float above the keyboard.
Practice for 10 minutes every day rather than 1 hour once a week.
