Typing Speed Test

How to use it

1. Pick a text: two English samples, two Chinese samples, or Custom text with your own pasted passage.
2. Press Start and simply type. The clock begins immediately and characters highlight as you go.
3. Green means the character matched, red marks a wrong keystroke, and the bright character shows where you are. Backspace fixes the last one.
4. The five tiles update live: Time, WPM, CPM, Accuracy and Progress.
5. Typing the whole text ends the test automatically; Finish ends it early. The result card can be copied, and Restart clears everything.

Common use cases

• Tracking practice - run the same sample a few times a week and watch WPM climb.
• Keyboard shopping - compare comfortable speed on your usual text before and after a new keyboard or layout.
• Classroom drills - teachers project one sample and let students race, no accounts needed.
• Chinese input practice - use the Chinese samples, where CPM (characters per minute) tells you more than WPM.

Why it stays private

Timing uses your browser clock and nothing else. No text is uploaded, no results are stored on a server, and the page makes no network requests while you type.

FAQ

Q: How are WPM and CPM calculated? A: WPM counts correct characters divided by five per minute, the standard convention for Latin text. CPM counts correct characters per minute, which is more meaningful for Chinese text where every character is a unit of meaning.

Q: Does a wrong keystroke end the test? A: No. Wrong characters are highlighted and counted against accuracy, but you can keep typing or press Backspace to correct the last one. The test ends when the full text is typed or you press Finish.

Q: Why is my accuracy below 100 percent even though I fixed my mistakes? A: Accuracy divides correct keystrokes by every keystroke typed, including ones later corrected with Backspace. It measures how clean the run was, not just how the final text looks.
