Free Online Typing Speed Test Tool

1. Click into the typing area and start typing the displayed passage.
2. The timer starts on your first keystroke.
3. Errors are highlighted; correct them or push through.
4. After 60 seconds read your WPM and accuracy in the result panel.

WPM is conventionally measured as (characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ time in minutes, with errors either ignored (gross WPM) or subtracted (net WPM). A 40 WPM average is typical for an everyday typist; 60–80 WPM is common among professional writers and developers; 100+ WPM is fast.

Job seekers verify a typing speed before listing it on a resume. Customer-support hiring managers run candidates through a quick test as a basic screen. Touch-typing learners track progress over weeks. This test gives a 60-second window with a paragraph of common English words. Mistyped characters are highlighted but don't stop the clock; the timer starts on your first keystroke. At the end you see gross WPM, net WPM, accuracy as a percentage and a count of corrected versus uncorrected errors.

Results are local and not persisted — refresh the page to retake, or compare your figures across multiple runs by writing them down.
