Pro Tips to Improve Your Typing Speed
Ergonomics & Posture
Posture & Ergonomics: Keep your back straight, feet flat, and wrists hovering gently above the keyboard.
Home Row Placement
Touch Typing: Anchor your index fingers on the F and J home row bumps. Each finger covers its dedicated key column.
Rhythm and Flow
Rhythm Over Raw Burst: Typing with a steady, metronome-like flow at 98% accuracy beats jerky bursts full of backspace corrections.
Smart Rest Breaks
Take Breaks: Stretch your fingers and hands every 30 minutes of intense typing sessions.
How it works
1
Select your preferred test mode: by time (15s, 30s, 60s, or 120s), word count (10, 25, 50, or 100), quotes, code, or custom text.
2
Choose language (English or Portuguese) and optionally enable punctuation and numbers.
3
Click the typing area or press any key — the timer starts automatically on your very first keystroke.
4
Type each highlighted word and press the [Spacebar] to advance. Correct letters turn green, errors turn red.
5
Review your comprehensive scorecard (Net WPM, Raw WPM, accuracy percentage, CPM), drill missed words, and share your score.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The site is supported by ads, so you never pay or need to create an account.
How is WPM (Words Per Minute) calculated?
Following international typing standards, one standardized 'word' equals 5 keystrokes (including spaces). Net WPM computes (correct keystrokes / 5) / elapsed minutes, accurately measuring productive typing speed while accounting for uncorrected mistakes.
What is an average typing speed?
The average computer user types between 35 and 45 WPM with ~92% accuracy. Speeds above 65 WPM are considered professional, and elite competitive typists reach 85 to 110+ WPM.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Practice touch-typing by positioning your index fingers on the F and J home row bumps. Keep your eyes on the screen, prioritize 98%+ accuracy over raw rushed speed, and practice 5 to 10 minutes every day.
Does it feature mechanical keyboard sound effects?
Yes. An integrated browser Web Audio synthesizer simulates the tactile acoustic clicks of mechanical switches in real-time, with volume controls and an instant mute toggle.
Is my typed text saved or uploaded anywhere?
This tool runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded to a server.
