Why Typing Speed Matters
In a world dominated by digital communication, typing is a fundamental skill. Whether you're a student writing an essay, a developer writing code, or a professional responding to emails, your typing speed directly impacts your productivity. Improving your Words Per Minute (WPM) allows you to get more done in less time.
How is Typing Speed Measured?
- Words Per Minute (WPM): This is the standard metric. A "word" is typically defined as five characters, including spaces. The formula is (Total Characters Typed / 5) / Time in Minutes.
- Accuracy: Speed is important, but not if it's full of errors. Accuracy measures the percentage of correctly typed characters. Our test highlights errors in real-time so you can correct them.
