Type a fixed prompt to measure WPM, characters per minute, and accuracy.
Reviewed: 2026-07-21
Start timing with the first keystroke and count characters that match the prompt at the same position. WPM uses the conventional estimate of five correct characters per word, alongside characters per minute and accuracy. Typed content and results are calculated in the browser and no keystroke record is sent to our server; keyboard, language, and prompt difficulty can affect the score.
Check input units and reference dates first. For an important decision, compare the result with an official source or original document. A rounded display can differ slightly from the underlying value.
Correct characters in their matching prompt positions are divided by five to estimate words, then divided by the elapsed time in minutes.
CPM gives a direct view of correct character output and is especially useful when comparing scripts or languages where conventional word boundaries differ.
No. Paste is disabled so the result reflects manual typing. Autocomplete and other input assistance can still influence a score.
