Typing speed test · in progress
Find out how fast you really type.
Type Sprint Fast is being built as a free typing speed test that runs in your browser, with no account and no database. The site is live and the test is on its way: nothing here measures your typing yet.
What is being built
None of these is available yet.
Typing speed testPlanned
Tests of 15, 30, 60 and 120 seconds, or a duration you choose, showing words per minute, characters per minute, accuracy, correct and incorrect characters and the time left as you type.
Practice modesPlanned
Random words, common English words, full sentences, paragraphs, punctuation and numbers.
Beginner and advanced levelsPlanned
Easier and harder text, with suggestions on what to practice based on your speed and accuracy.
Daily challengePlanned
One shared text a day to measure yourself against your own earlier results, with no accounts and no rankings.
Personal historyPlanned
Your results and settings kept only in your own browser, with a clear way to delete them.
How a result will be scored
The test is not built, so these are the definitions it is being designed around. They are the ones typing tests use, and each result will be shown with them written out.
- Word
- In a typing test a word is five characters, spaces and punctuation included, so that long and short words count alike and results can be compared.
- Words per minute
- The characters you typed correctly, divided by five, divided by the minutes taken. It measures speed that counts, not every key you pressed.
- Accuracy
- The share of what you typed that was right. Speed without accuracy is not typing, so a result will always show both, never one alone.
- The clock
- The timer will start with your first keystroke and not before, so the time spent getting ready is never counted against you.
What you type stays with you
A typing test only needs the page you have open: it shows the text, listens to your keys and keeps the time. None of that needs a server, so none of it will be sent to one, and there will be no account to create.
When the history feature exists, your results are meant to be kept only in your own browser, under a name the privacy policy will state, with a button to delete them. Until then, the site keeps nothing. Read the privacy policy for what is true today.
Where things stand
The site, its pages and its privacy policy are in place. The test is not. That is why this page says so instead of showing a text box that does not respond to your keys. When the first test is ready it will have its own page with a guide and answers to common questions, and it will be added to this page.
Meanwhile, tell us what you would want first, a particular duration or a practice mode, through the contact page.
Questions
Can I take a typing test on Type Sprint Fast today?
Not yet. The site is live, but the test is still being built, and this page lists what is planned. Nothing here measures your typing at the moment.
Will I need an account, and will there be rankings?
No account is planned, and no rankings: a ranking needs a database of other people's results, and the site is meant to work without one. You will compare yourself with your own earlier results, kept in your own browser.
Will what I type be sent anywhere?
No. The test is being designed so that the text you type is handled in the page and goes nowhere. The privacy policy says what is true today, and will say exactly what is kept when the history feature is added.
What is a good typing speed?
It depends on the text and the person, and a single number would mislead. A better measure is your own trend: whether your speed rises while your accuracy holds. The test is planned to show both, and to suggest what to practice.
