Frequently Asked Questions

Speed & Performance

WPM is calculated using the standard typing formula:

Formula: WPM = (Characters Typed ÷ 5) ÷ Time in Minutes
  • Characters Typed: Total number of characters you've typed (including spaces)
  • Divided by 5: The standard word length is considered 5 characters (including spaces)
  • Time in Minutes: Elapsed time since you started typing

Example: If you type 250 characters in 2 minutes:
WPM = (250 ÷ 5) ÷ 2 = 50 ÷ 2 = 25 WPM

Note: The calculation updates in real-time as you type, so your WPM may fluctuate during typing and stabilize as you continue.

Accuracy shows the percentage of correctly typed characters:

Formula: Accuracy = ((Correct Characters - Incorrect Characters) ÷ Total Characters Typed) × 100
  • Correct Characters: Characters typed without errors
  • Incorrect Characters: Characters typed incorrectly (highlighted in red)
  • Total Characters: All characters attempted

Example: If you type 100 characters with 5 errors:
Accuracy = ((100 - 5) ÷ 100) × 100 = 95%

Tip: Focus on accuracy first, speed will naturally improve. It's better to type slowly and accurately than fast with many errors!

  • Incorrect characters are highlighted in red and counted as errors
  • Each wrong keystroke counts as one error, even if you backspace and correct it
  • Timing matters: The system tracks which keys you pressed incorrectly for improvement insights
  • Visual feedback: Correct characters appear in green, incorrect ones in red
Pro Tip: Use backspace to correct errors. The cursor will move back and allow you to retype the correct character.
