When to use Typing Test
You switched to a new mechanical keyboard last week and now you are not sure whether it is actually faster or just louder. Pull up this page, pick a duration — 30 seconds or a couple of minutes — and start typing the passage on screen. The clock starts on your first keystroke. When the time runs out you get WPM, accuracy percentage, and a count of every error, so a rapid-but-sloppy result looks different from a careful-but-steady one. Your keystrokes stay on your machine — nothing is logged or transmitted. Come back daily and the trend line tells you more than any single score. Useful before a job application that asks for a typing speed, after switching input devices, or any time someone at the desk next to you claims they type faster.
- Benchmark your speed before submitting a job application
- Track WPM week over week after switching to a new keyboard
- Settle a desk argument about who actually types faster
