This typing speed test measures how many words per minute (WPM) you can type, along with your accuracy and error count. Pick a duration from 15 seconds up to a full hour, then type the passage shown as fast and accurately as you can — your stats update live as you go.
WPM stands for words per minute, the standard way typing speed is measured. It's calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed characters by five (the average word length), then dividing by the time taken in minutes.
Net WPM only counts characters you typed correctly, giving a realistic measure of your actual typing speed. Raw WPM counts every character typed, including mistakes, so it's usually higher than net WPM. This test shows both, along with your accuracy percentage.
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. Speeds above 60 WPM are considered fast, and professional typists — such as transcriptionists and data entry specialists — often reach 70 to 100+ WPM with high accuracy.
What is WPM? WPM stands for words per minute, a standard measure of typing speed, calculated as correctly typed characters divided by five, divided by time in minutes.
What is a good typing speed? The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. Above 60 WPM is considered fast, and professional typists often reach 70-100+ WPM.
What is the difference between WPM and raw WPM? Net WPM only counts correctly typed characters, while raw WPM counts every character typed including mistakes.
How is typing accuracy calculated? Accuracy is the percentage of correctly typed characters out of all characters typed, including any mistakes.
