Typing Speed Test Free Online - WPM & Accuracy

About this tool

Typing speed affects everything from productivity to job applications. Many data entry, administrative, and remote roles require a minimum WPM - knowing your current speed gives you a concrete benchmark to improve against.

Measure your typing speed in words per minute (WPM) with real-time accuracy tracking. The test runs for 60 seconds, highlights errors as you type, and shows your final WPM and accuracy percentage.

How to use Typing Speed Test

1. Step 1: Read the Text. A random passage appears on screen. Read through it quickly.
2. Step 2: Start Typing. The timer begins the moment you type your first character.
3. Step 3: Finish the Passage. Type until the last character matches. The timer stops automatically.
4. Step 4: See Your Results. Review WPM, accuracy, and time then try again with a new text.

Where this tool helps

Check WPM before applying for data entry or administrative roles, benchmark typing speed for personal productivity tracking, practice and measure improvement over time, compare speed across different keyboard layouts, test accuracy under time pressure, and verify typing speed meets job posting requirements.

• Measures WPM in real time with per-keystroke error highlighting.
• Shows both speed and accuracy - WPM without accuracy is not a complete picture.
• Standard 60-second test duration used by most professional typing assessments.

The most common question is what counts as a 'good' WPM. For reference: average adult typing speed is around 40 WPM, professional typists average 65–75 WPM, and competitive typists exceed 100 WPM. Most office jobs require 40–60 WPM minimum.
