Fast typing practice for beginners and regular learners
\nIf you are new to typing, begin with the easy level and focus on accurate keystrokes before trying to increase your speed. For regular practice, try a 30-second or 60-second typing test, then repeat it to compare your WPM and accuracy. Typora also lets you practise with quotes or your own text, making it a simple typing practice test for different skill levels.
\n\nWhat do WPM, accuracy and consistency mean?
WPM (words per minute) is a standard way to describe typing speed. Typora uses the common five-characters-per-word convention and calculates speed from correctly typed characters over the elapsed time. Accuracy shows the percentage of characters you entered that match the displayed text. Consistency is an estimate of how steady your recent speed has been during the test; it is not a measure of typing skill or a universal score.
A useful practice tip: aim for comfortable, accurate typing first. Speed often improves as you become more familiar with the keyboard and build a steady rhythm.
Practise with text that matters to you
Use the Custom text option to practise with your own paragraph, study notes, a work passage or any text you want to type. Typora runs the test in your browser, so the text entered into the typing area is processed on your device rather than uploaded to a Typora server.
Frequently asked questions
How do I take a typing speed test?
Choose a duration and difficulty, select Words or Quotes, and press Start typing. Type the displayed text as accurately as possible. Your speed and accuracy update while you practise.
What does WPM mean in a typing test?
WPM means words per minute. Typora treats every five correctly typed characters as one standard word and divides by the elapsed time in minutes.
How is typing accuracy calculated?
Accuracy is the percentage of characters you typed that match the displayed text at the same position. Correct characters are divided by all characters entered.
