Typing Speed Test

Choose a language and a duration, then type the text shown. The timer starts at your first keystroke, wrong characters are highlighted while you type, and the results appear when time is up or when you finish the whole text.

English, Korean (한국어), Japanese (日本語) and Chinese (中文) are included, and input methods work normally, so you can type with a Korean, Japanese or Chinese IME.

How to use this tool

1. Select the text language and a duration of 30, 60 or 120 seconds.
2. Click the typing box and start typing the passage. The clock begins with the first keystroke.
3. Watch the highlighting; you can correct mistakes with Backspace.
4. Read your net WPM (English), CPM and accuracy. Press New text to try a different passage.

What the numbers mean

WPM (words per minute) uses the usual convention that one word is five characters, including spaces, so it does not depend on how long the words actually are. Net WPM subtracts errors you left uncorrected. This measure is shown for English only.

CPM is characters per minute, counting the characters you typed correctly. It is the common measure for Korean, Japanese and Chinese, where there are no five-letter words.

Accuracy is the share of keystrokes that were right, and it counts mistakes you corrected later as well as those you left in.

Getting a fair score

Try each duration a few times, because the first run is rarely your best. Sit comfortably, keep your wrists neutral and look at the text, not the keys. Accuracy comes first; speed follows once errors stop costing you time. A 30-second test is quick to repeat, while 120 seconds shows how well you hold your pace.

Your keyboard, layout and device affect results, so compare scores on the same setup.
