A three minute typing test is long enough to give a reliable average, the kind of window many typing courses use to certify speed. Type the passage for three minutes and get your words per minute and accuracy at the end.

Need a shorter or longer run? Pick 1, 2, or 5 minutes below. Consistency over three minutes tells you more than a fast ten-second burst.

How it is scored: WPM is your correct characters divided by five (the standard word length), over the minutes you spent typing — so accuracy is baked into the number. Typos count against both your accuracy percentage and your speed. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded and there is no account to create.
