Start the test and type the text on the screen as fast and as accurately as you can. When the test ends you can see your typing speed. Typing speed is usually measured in words per minute (WPM). You don't need to sign up, the test works right in your browser.
WPM stands for words per minute, the number of words you type in a minute. It is the most common unit used in typing tests.
An average user usually types around 40 words per minute. People who practice regularly can reach 60-80 words per minute and beyond.
You can improve by looking at the screen instead of the keyboard, placing your fingers on the right keys (touch typing) and practicing regularly. Focus on accuracy first and speed will follow.
The test is completely free and requires no account.
