Online Typing Test


Below you’ll find a number of options for this online typing test. Most options include text from popular authors unless you are using custom text. This online typing test also includes the ability to set a time limit ranging from 1 to 10 minutes.

As you start the test, two boxes will appear. The top box is the actual text used for the typing test while the bottom box displays the text you are typing.

Once you start, you’ll notice a small pause as the system prepares the test and then the first word will appear in blue. As soon as you start typing, the system begins recording your keystrokes and highlights any typing errors you may make in red.

Once a typing error has been marked red, you can not change it. Errors are marked in red only after you press the space bar, so you can correct a letter, but not a word. True typing tests account for accuracy by not allowing words to be corrected, and this online typing test is held to the same standard.

You’ll also notice a timer located to the right that counts up to the time you have allotted for the typing test.

Results of the Online Typing Test

Results are displayed immediately after the test is completed. You’ll notice the option to enter email and contact information, many organizations use this free online typing test as a way to screen applicants and in such cases, verified results are sent to the personnel department.

If you would like your score to be entered into our online typing test Hall of Fame, but don’t want to enter your email address or name, simply enter a space in each field and click on Send Results.

    41 wpm – I’m sure I should be able to do much better than this, but I keep making mistakes and go back to correct them. I think my main problems is lack of concentration, also I have to look at the keyboard to see where the punctuation marks are. I show down when using the shift key too. I need a lot of practice, no doubt about that!

    Good luck to everyone trying to learn or improve their speed – you can do it! :-)
