Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM calculated?
WPM (Words Per Minute) is calculated by dividing the total characters typed by 5 (standard word length), then dividing by the time in minutes.
Why does my accuracy matter?
High speed with low accuracy means you're making many corrections. Professional typists maintain both high speed and high accuracy.
Can I use this on mobile devices?
Yes! Our tool works on all devices including smartphones and tablets.
