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.
