How It Works & Understanding Your Results
How Each Test Works
Typing Test
Select a difficulty level (Easy, Hard, Very Hard). Type the sample text provided. Your Words Per Minute (WPM) and accuracy are calculated in real-time. Higher accuracy on one level unlocks the next.
Reading Test
Paste your own text or use the sample. Click "Start Timer," read the passage, then click "Stop Timer & Calculate." Your WPM is calculated based on the text's word count and your reading time.
Speaking Test
Prepare your script (paste it or use the sample). Click "Start Timer" when you begin speaking and "Stop Timer & Calculate" when you finish. Your WPM is estimated based on word count and time.
Text Analyzer
Paste any text to get detailed statistics like word count, character count, sentences, paragraphs, and lines. You can also use tools to manipulate the text (sort, remove duplicates, change case).
Understanding Your Results
WPM (Words Per Minute)
This is the primary metric for speed. It measures how many words you can process (type, read, or speak) in one minute. For typing tests, a "word" is typically standardized to 5 characters (including spaces) to ensure fair comparison across different texts.
Accuracy (Typing Test)
This shows the percentage of characters you typed correctly compared to the sample text. High accuracy is crucial; speed without accuracy is ineffective. Aim for 95% or higher.
Feedback Categories & Tips
Your WPM scores are categorized (e.g., Average, Good, Excellent) based on general performance benchmarks. The tool provides:
- A clear indication of your performance level.
- Personalized tips to help you improve specific areas, like accuracy for typing or pacing for speaking.
- Contextual benchmarks so you can see where your speed fits in.
Word Count (Reading/Speaking)
For reading and speaking tests, the word count of the passage you used is displayed. This helps contextualize your WPM. Reading a very short passage quickly is different from maintaining speed over a long one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM calculated? +
WPM (Words Per Minute) is generally calculated as (Total Words / Time in Minutes). For typing, a "word" is often standardized to 5 characters, including spaces. For reading and speaking, it's based on the actual word count of the passage.
How are the WPM scores (Good, Bad, etc.) determined? +
The WPM scores are categorized based on general benchmarks for typing, reading, and speaking speeds. These benchmarks (e.g., "Average: 36-50 WPM for typing") are provided with your results to give you context on your performance. You'll also receive tips based on your score and accuracy (for typing) or word count context (for reading/speaking).
How do the typing test difficulty levels work? +
The typing test starts with "Easy" texts. To unlock "Hard" and "Very Hard" levels, you need to complete the current level's test with a good accuracy (typically above 80%). This helps you progressively challenge yourself. Unlocked levels are remembered by your browser.
How can I improve my typing speed? +
Improving typing speed requires consistent practice and proper technique. Here are some effective strategies:
- Practice proper finger positioning and touch typing techniques
- Start slowly and focus on accuracy before speed
- Practice regularly (15-20 minutes daily is more effective than occasional long sessions)
- Use our targeted exercises that focus on common letter combinations
- Track your progress over time using our statistics dashboard
- Challenge yourself with increasingly difficult texts
Most users see significant improvement within 2-4 weeks of regular practice. Focus on reducing errors first, as speed will naturally increase as you develop muscle memory.
How does the speaking rate test work? +
Our speaking rate test uses advanced speech recognition technology to analyze your speaking pace, clarity, and fluency. When you start the test, you'll be prompted to read a passage aloud into your device's microphone.
The system measures:
- Words per minute (speaking rate)
- Pronunciation accuracy
- Speech clarity and articulation
- Pauses and filler words
Are my texts and results stored anywhere? +
No, this tool operates entirely within your browser. Your text inputs and test results are not sent to or stored on any server, ensuring your privacy. Unlocked typing difficulties are stored in your browser's local storage for convenience across sessions, but no personal test data is saved.
