Free online typing speed test
typing_me is a fast, minimalist typing test that measures your speed in words per minute (WPM), your accuracy, and your consistency. Start typing the highlighted words above — the timer begins on your first keystroke and your live WPM updates as you type. No sign-up is required.
How to test your typing speed
- Choose a mode and duration in the bar above (time, words, quote, zen or game).
- Start typing the shown text — timing starts automatically.
- See your WPM, accuracy and a detailed graph the moment you finish.
- Sign in to save results and climb the typing leaderboard.
What is WPM?
WPM (words per minute) is the standard measure of typing speed, where one word equals five characters. The average typist reaches about 40 WPM, while 60+ WPM is fast. typing_me also reports raw speed and accuracy so you see the full picture, not just a single number.
Typing test modes
- Time — type as much as you can in 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
- Words — race through a fixed number of words.
- Quote — type real quotes with punctuation.
- Zen — practice freely with no timer or pressure.
- Game — a 60-second arcade mode where words fly in.
Tips to type faster
- Use touch typing — keep your fingers on the home row and do not look down at the keyboard.
- Prioritise accuracy first; speed follows once mistakes drop.
- Practice a few minutes every day rather than one long session.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this typing speed test free?
- Yes. typing_me is completely free and no sign-up is required to take a test. Create a free account only if you want to save your results and appear on the leaderboard.
- What is a good typing speed in WPM?
- The average typing speed is around 40 words per minute (WPM). 60 to 70 WPM is considered fast, and professional typists often exceed 90 WPM. Accuracy matters just as much as raw speed.
- How is WPM calculated?
- WPM is your correctly typed characters divided by five (the standard word length), divided by the elapsed time in minutes. Mistakes lower your accuracy and your net WPM.
- How can I improve my typing speed?
- Practice touch typing without looking at the keyboard, keep your fingers on the home row, and prioritise accuracy first because speed follows. Short daily sessions beat occasional long ones.
- Does it work on mobile and in every region?
- Yes. typing_me runs in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, anywhere in the world, with no download required.
