A typing speed test measures how quickly and accurately you reproduce a passage. KEYFORGE offers timed practice with short and long passages, difficulty options and a record of sessions on your device.
How it works
A common convention defines one standard word as five characters, including spaces. Gross WPM is total characters typed divided by five, then divided by elapsed minutes. Net WPM may subtract errors, depending on the test. Accuracy is the share of typed characters that match the target. Different websites use different scoring rules, so compare results using the same test and duration.
Practical tips
Start with a one-minute test, then repeat the same duration after several practice sessions. Keep your eyes on the passage, use a relaxed posture and focus on accurate keystrokes before trying to increase speed.
