The old railway station was quiet at dawn. A tea seller lit his stove, a few porters yawned beside their carts, and the first train of the day slowly rolled in from the hills. Everything looked ordinary, yet each person there was beginning a different journey. Good habits are built from small, repeated actions. Walk for ten minutes, read one page, write one line. None of these feels important today, but after a year

Net WPM counts a word as 5 characters and subtracts mistakes you left on screen, the same way most typing certificates do. Corrected mistakes still lower your accuracy figure. For Hindi, use the Hindi typing test.

About this tool
This test measures how fast and how accurately you type English. Pick a time limit of 1, 2 or 5 minutes and type the passage shown. The timer starts with your first keystroke, the current character is underlined, correct letters turn green and mistakes turn red. When time runs out (or you finish the text) you see your net speed, gross speed, accuracy and the number of mistakes.
Speed is measured in words per minute (WPM) the standard way, counting every five characters as one word. Gross WPM is everything you typed; net WPM subtracts the mistakes still left on screen, which is how most typing certificates and exam centres score. Accuracy counts every wrong key, even ones you corrected. Pasting is disabled so the result reflects your own typing.
Your best score for each time limit is kept in your browser on this device only, with a button to reset it. The passages are bundled with the page, so nothing is downloaded or uploaded. For Hindi, use the Hindi typing test instead.

Questions
How is WPM calculated?
Every five characters count as one word, divided by the minutes taken. Net WPM also subtracts the mistakes still left on screen.
What is a good typing speed?
Many office jobs ask for 30 to 40 WPM, and 50 to 60 WPM is comfortable for most professional typing. Accuracy matters as much as speed.
Why can’t I paste?
Pasting is blocked so the test measures your own typing.
Is my score saved or uploaded?
Your best score for each time limit is kept in your own browser and never sent anywhere. Use the reset button to delete it.
