What is a good typing speed (WPM)?

Average typing speed is 40 WPM. 60-70 WPM is considered good for most jobs. Professional typists often achieve 80-100+ WPM. Competitive typists can reach 150+ WPM.

How is WPM calculated?

WPM is calculated by dividing the total number of correct characters typed by 5 (standard word length), then dividing by the time elapsed in minutes. Formula: (Correct Characters / 5) / Time in Minutes.

How can I improve my typing speed?

Practice regularly, use proper finger positioning (home row), don't look at the keyboard, focus on accuracy before speed, and take typing tests daily to track progress.

What is typing accuracy and why does it matter?

Typing accuracy is the percentage of correct keystrokes out of total keystrokes. High accuracy (95%+) is crucial because errors slow you down with corrections. It's better to type accurately at 50 WPM than sloppily at 70 WPM.

What are the different typing test modes available?

This typing test offers 4 modes: Time mode (15s, 30s, 60s, 120s countdown), Words mode (type 10, 25, 50, or 100 words), Quote mode (type famous quotes), and Code mode (practice typing programming code snippets).

What does the keyboard heatmap show?

The keyboard heatmap visually shows your typing accuracy for each key. Green keys indicate high accuracy, while red/hot keys show which letters you frequently mistype. This helps identify weak spots to practice.

Is my typing history saved?

Yes, your typing test results are automatically saved to your browser's local storage. You can view your personal best WPM, average WPM, average accuracy, and total tests taken. No account or signup required.

What keyboard layouts are supported?

This typing test supports 5 keyboard layouts: QWERTY (standard US/UK), Dvorak (alternative ergonomic), Colemak (modern alternative), AZERTY (French), and QWERTZ (German/Central European). The keyboard heatmap updates to match your selected layout.

Can I practice typing in other languages?

Yes! The typing test supports 4 languages: English (with 500+ words across Easy/Medium/Hard levels), Spanish, French, and German. Each language has its own word dictionary for authentic practice.

What specialized typing topics are available?

Beyond general vocabulary, you can practice specialized terminology: Programming (functions, variables, DevOps terms), Medical (diagnoses, anatomy, procedures), Legal (court terms, contracts, litigation), and Scientific (research methodology, lab terms).
