About this tool
Start typing and the timer starts with your first key. Your speed is measured in words per minute (WPM), the standard used by employers and typing courses: every 5 correct characters count as one word.
What is a good typing speed?
Most people type around 40 WPM. 60 WPM is fast, and 80+ WPM is professional level. Accuracy matters as much as speed: aim for 95% or higher.
