Typing speed test

Measure your typing speed and accuracy

Typing speed matters for office work, exams, programming and data entry. This test measures your words per minute (WPM) and your accuracy over a short timed passage.

Start typing when you are ready and the timer begins with your first key press. Aim for accuracy first: speed comes with practice, and fixing mistakes costs more time than typing steadily. Around 40 WPM is a common average; many office jobs look for 50 or more.
