What is Typing Test?
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.
How to Use Typing Test
Choose Duration
Select a 1-minute sprint for speed or 5-minute marathon for endurance.
Start Typing
Begin typing the highlighted text immediately. The timer starts when you press the first key.
Correct Mistakes
Fix red-highlighted errors to improve your accuracy score.
View Results
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.
Why Use This Tool?
**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+).
Who Is This For?
**Data Entry Interviews**: Practice for screening tests. **Coding Bootcamps**: Developers need to type special characters fluently. **Kids Learning**: Building foundational computer skills.
Behind the Technology
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.
Tips for Best Results
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.
