Privacy details

Typing test processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Small tools make everyday work easier. Take your time and let each word follow the next.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

How typing test works

The clock starts on your first input. Speed uses five typed characters as one word, divided by elapsed minutes. Accuracy compares your final characters with the passage at the same positions.

A worked example

Typing 25 characters in 30 seconds gives 10 words per minute under this tool’s five-character rule. Fixing a character updates final accuracy.

Before you use the result

This is practice, not a certification. Insertions shift later positions; corrected errors are not counted. Pasting is disabled. Results use elapsed time and can vary by device.
