About Typing Speed Test

Our Typing Speed Test measures how fast and accurately you can type. Whether you're a professional looking to improve productivity or a student wanting to type faster, regular practice is the key to improvement.

The test measures your Words Per Minute (WPM) - the standard metric for typing speed. We also track accuracy because fast typing means nothing if it's full of errors! Focus on accuracy first, and speed will follow naturally.

Take the test regularly to track your progress. Most people can significantly improve their typing speed with just a few weeks of dedicated practice.
