About the English typing test

This free English typing test measures how fast and accurately you type on the standard QWERTY keyboard. Choose a timed run of 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes, or a full-page test, and get your words per minute (WPM) and accuracy the moment you finish.

What the typing speed test measures

WPM counts standard five-character words typed per minute, while accuracy is the percentage of characters you type correctly. Seeing both together shows whether pushing for speed is costing you mistakes — the key to a genuinely useful typing speed test.

Who the test is useful for

Students, job applicants preparing for typing requirements, and anyone who wants a clear WPM benchmark and an accuracy target to improve towards.
