Frequently asked questions
How is WPM calculated?
A word is standardised as five characters. Net WPM counts only correctly typed characters, which is why it is lower than raw WPM.
What is a good typing speed?
Around 40 WPM is average, 60 to 80 is proficient, and above 100 is fast.
Can I choose the text?
Yes. You can pick between common-word drills, quotations and punctuation-heavy passages, and set the test to 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
