About this typing test
This free online Typing Speed Test helps you measure how fast and accurately you type in your browser. It is designed for quick sessions and easy replay.
Many people use a typing speed test to improve keyboard confidence, compare results, or practice for school, work, and daily computer use.
What is a good typing speed?
For many people, a good typing speed is around 40 to 60 WPM. More experienced typists may reach 70 WPM or higher while keeping strong accuracy.
Accuracy matters just as much as speed. A very high WPM is less useful if many words are typed incorrectly.
How WPM is calculated
Typing speed is often estimated by counting typed characters, dividing by 5 to represent an average word length, and then converting that result into words per minute.
This makes WPM a practical way to compare typing performance across different tests.
Tips to improve typing speed
- Focus on accuracy before pushing for higher speed.
- Keep your hands relaxed and your posture comfortable.
- Practice short sessions regularly instead of long exhausting ones.
- Use typing tests often to track progress over time.
