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.
Focus on Fewer Mistakes
Begin with Easy text and a comfortable pace. Use Backspace to correct mistakes, knowing that the timer continues during corrections.
Understand Your Accuracy Result
| Measure | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Entry Accuracy | Correct character entries divided by all entries, multiplied by 100. |
| Errors Made | Incorrect entries, including those you later fix. |
| Uncorrected Errors | Characters still incorrect when the test ends. |
For example, 95 correct entries out of 100 total entries gives 95% accuracy.
Work on one recurring mistake in untimed paragraph practice before testing again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing accuracy score?
A useful goal is fewer mistakes at a comfortable pace. Compare your own attempts with the same settings; this tool does not assign an employment pass mark or school grade.
Do backspaces count as typing errors?
Backspace itself is a correction. The original incorrect entry still counts in Errors Made and entry accuracy, even after you fix the final text.
Do spaces count toward typing accuracy?
Yes. Letters, spaces, and punctuation are checked against the passage. Missing or extra spaces can also change whether following characters match.
