Measure your typing speed in words per minute (WPM) and your accuracy. Start typing the passage below and the timer begins on your first keystroke.
Your results are calculated locally and never leave your browser.
What is a good typing speed?
The average is about 40 WPM. 60-70 WPM is fast, and professional typists often reach 75 or more. Accurate typing at 45-60 WPM is comfortable for everyday use.
How WPM is calculated
Every five typed characters count as one word. WPM equals your correct characters divided by five, divided by the minutes elapsed. Accuracy is the percentage of characters typed correctly.
