0WPM
100%Accuracy
0.0sTime

Type a real sentence (with punctuation, not just a word list) and get your WPM and accuracy together, with every mistyped character highlighted — so you know exactly what's slowing you down.

How it works

  1. Click the text box and start typing the sentence shown
  2. The timer starts on your first keystroke
  3. When you finish, see your WPM, accuracy %, and mistyped characters highlighted

Frequently asked questions

Why do I get different WPM on different typing test sites?

Sites measure differently — a "words-only" mode with no punctuation or numbers reads 10-20% faster than a realistic sentence. This tool always uses full sentences with punctuation, and says so, so you're comparing like for like.

Does this track accuracy, not just speed?

Yes — WPM and accuracy are shown together, with every mistyped character highlighted directly in the text.

How is WPM calculated?

Standard formula: (characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ minutes elapsed, using the classic "5 characters = 1 word" convention.
