Questions
Is this typing test free?
Yes. The test is free, needs no account and has no limit on how many times you run it. The OneType iPhone app is also free on the App Store.
How is WPM calculated?
Words per minute uses the standard formula of correct characters divided by five, divided by the minutes elapsed. Spaces count as characters, so typing the spaces between words matters. Only characters you got right are counted, so mashing keys does not raise your score.
What counts as a good typing speed?
Around 40 WPM is the average for adults typing on a keyboard, 60 to 80 WPM is comfortably fast, and above 100 WPM is very fast. Phone keyboards usually score lower than a physical keyboard, so compare like with like.
How is accuracy measured?
Accuracy is the share of keystrokes that landed on the right character. Backspacing to fix a mistake still counts the original wrong keystroke against you, which is why fixing errors is worth it — they cost accuracy but not speed twice.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Tap the passage and your keyboard opens; autocorrect and capitalisation are switched off so nothing is typed for you. Scores are usually lower than on a laptop, so use a physical keyboard if you want a comparable number.
Do you save my results?
No. Your text and score live in the page while it is open and are never sent to a server or stored on your device. A reload starts fresh. The OneType app keeps your history and tracks progress over time.
Is the passage always the same?
No. Each test is shuffled from a pool of a few hundred common English words, and Restart deals a new one. The words are lowercase and punctuation-free so you are measured on speed rather than on finding the apostrophe key.
