Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing speed?
An average typist reaches 40–60 WPM. Professional typists typically type 65–90 WPM. Top speeds exceed 100 WPM.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM is calculated as the number of typed words divided by the elapsed minutes. One 'word' is counted as every 5 characters.
Does the test account for errors?
Yes. The accuracy percentage shows how many characters you typed correctly versus all characters typed.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Practice regularly, use all ten fingers, keep your eyes on the screen instead of the keyboard, and aim for accuracy before speed.
Test your typing speed
A typing speed test measures how fast and accurately you type, reported in words per minute (WPM) along with an accuracy percentage. You type a sample passage and the tool times you and counts your mistakes.
Regular tests are a simple way to track your progress and spot the keys that slow you down.
