Words per minute: every 5 correct characters count as one word, the standard used in typing tests.

How do I improve my accuracy?

Slow down until you make few mistakes; speed tends to rise on its own with practice.

What is a good speed?

It depends on the goal. For general use, something between 40 and 60 WPM with good accuracy is already comfortable; jobs that require heavy typing usually ask for more.

Do mistakes count against the result?

Yes. Only the correct characters go into the calculation, so making fewer mistakes raises the WPM.

About Typing Test

Measures and trains your typing speed in words per minute (WPM), with accuracy and a history of your progress.

A practical example

You take a 1-minute test at the intermediate level and get 42 WPM with 94% accuracy. Instead of trying to type faster, you spend two weeks practicing with attention to accuracy. On the next test, your speed rises to 51 WPM with 98% accuracy, and the history shows the curve of your progress.

How to use it

Choose the mode: by time or by number of words.
Select the difficulty level.
Type the text shown without looking at the keyboard.
Check WPM and accuracy and compare with your previous tests.

Limits and cautions

The result varies with the keyboard, tiredness and the type of text; take several tests to get a reliable average.

What happens in your browser

Speed in WPM (words per minute) follows the standard of typing tests: every 5 correct characters count as one word, regardless of the real length of the words in the text. That lets you compare results across different texts.

Accuracy is the proportion of characters typed correctly. Mistakes reduce the net result, because only what is right goes into the count.
