What Your Results Mean
- WPM (Words per Minute): Your typing speed based on correct characters. Five correct characters count as one word, including spaces.
- Accuracy: The percentage of your character entries that were correct. Fixing a mistake improves your final text, but the original error still affects accuracy.
- Characters: The letters, spaces, and punctuation currently in your typing box.
- Errors Made: Every incorrect character entry, including mistakes you later fix.
- Uncorrected Errors: Mistakes that remain in your final text when the test ends.
These results are for personal practice, not an independently verified certificate.
Your typing stays in this browser. This tool does not upload or save your text.
Prepare for a Longer Session
- Choose text you can read comfortably.
- Set a steady pace before trying to increase speed.
- Use Backspace when needed; corrections take time.
Read Both Error Counts
| Result | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Errors Made | Incorrect entries, including mistakes later corrected. |
| Uncorrected Errors | Mistakes still in your final text. |
| Accuracy | Correct entries as a share of all character entries. |
A longer session does not require Hard text. For an easier time commitment, use the 3-minute typing test.
