About typingtest.me

A calm place to measure your typing speed, understand your habits, and feel your progress - one key at a time.

What makes typingtest.me different

Light, friendly, and accurate. Everything runs locally in your browser for privacy. Press start and type naturally - your report shows WPM from correct characters only, real accuracy, keypress cadence (KPS), a consistency score, and a per-key error heat map that pinpoints problem letters, numbers, brackets, and punctuation.

No surprise paywalls or popups. Pick 15s up to 10m, switch among Common, Quotes, Code, Numbers, or paste your own text in Custom. The layout adapts to your device and keeps your attention on the next character - not the UI.

How this typing test works

  1. Select a duration (15s–10m) and a mode (Common, Quotes, Code, Numbers, or Custom).
  2. Type what you see. We track correct vs. incorrect characters in real time.
  3. Finish to get your report: WPM, accuracy, error heat map, KPS, and a consistency score.

Pro tip: keep your eyes on the text, not the keyboard - touch typing wins.

Who it’s for

Beginners build finger placement and rhythm without pressure. Intermediate typists polish accuracy and remove traps like stray commas or shifted symbols. Advanced users tune cadence for long documents, code blocks, and transcription. If you’re preparing for school, work, streaming, competitive play, or a certification - you’ll find a clear path here.

Students & learners

Build dependable habits and reach accuracy teachers value. Short, frequent sessions work best.

Creators & professionals

Type with fewer edits and smoother flow. Use the heat map to remove friction from daily writing.

Coders & analysts

Practice real symbols and bracket pairs. Train both hands to handle punctuation and navigation with ease.

A simple plan for steady progress

Practice most days with a light touch. Warm up briefly, focus on form, then do one focused effort. Keep shoulders relaxed and wrists neutral. If accuracy dips, slow down and reset your rhythm.

Step 1

Warm up

Run 30 - 60 seconds with calm breathing and soft keystrokes.

Step 2

Target weak keys

Use the heat map to choose three keys or symbols, then drill until errors drop.

Step 3

Build pace

Run a slightly longer test and keep accuracy above 96%.

Step 4

Review & rest

Check the trend line and consistency score, then take a short break.

Our promise to you

The core test is free, fast, and welcoming. We keep the interface clear, the numbers honest, and the guidance kind. Your time matters, your effort matters, and your progress matters. Whether you’re chasing a personal record or just smoother daily typing, this space supports you.

Start with one short run today. Notice a small improvement tomorrow. Keep going at a pace that feels good - your hands will learn, your speed will grow, and your confidence will follow.

Typing Test FAQ

How is WPM calculated here? ▾

We count correct characters only, divide by 5, then divide by active time (pauses excluded). Mistyped characters don’t inflate WPM.

How is accuracy measured? Does backspace matter? ▾

Accuracy is correct ÷ total typed. Errors lower accuracy until corrected. Using backspace to fix a mistake improves the final accuracy, but the error is still tracked in your heat map.

What are the “Consistency” and “KPS” stats? ▾

KPS is keypresses per second—your pacing. Consistency rewards steady rhythm across the test (fewer spikes/drops). Aim for smooth KPS to raise consistency.

How does the error heat map work? ▾

Each key’s error rate is tallied as you type. Brackets, quotes, slashes, and numbers are tracked too. Darker cells = more errors—use them to pick targets for practice.

Can I pause the test? ▾

Yes. Use Ctrl+P. We also auto-pause when the tab isn’t visible. Paused time is excluded from scoring.

Why do I see a Caps Lock warning? ▾

A small badge appears when Caps Lock is on to prevent accidental ALL-CAPS errors that hurt accuracy.

How do I use Custom text? Why can’t I paste into the typing box? ▾

Add your content in Custom mode (up to ~5000 characters). Pasting is disabled in the live typing field to keep scores fair—type it in, don’t paste through it.

What’s the difference between Common, Quotes, Code, and Numbers? ▾

Common uses everyday words, Quotes adds punctuation variety, Code focuses on braces, brackets, symbols, and Numbers emphasizes digits and separators.

Do I need an account? Where is my data stored? ▾

No account required. The test runs in your browser and keeps things lightweight and private.

Does it work on phones? ▾

Yes. The layout adapts for smaller screens. Some desktop visuals (like the full keyboard activity view) are simplified on mobile for clarity.
