Guide & FAQ
What is WPM and how is it calculated?
WPM stands for Words Per Minute. It is calculated by taking the number of characters typed divided by 5 (the average word length) and then normalized over a 60-second period. This is the global standard for measuring typing speed.
What is considered a "good" typing speed?
An average typing speed is around 40 WPM. However, for professionals like developers or data entry clerks, a "good" speed is typically between 60 to 80 WPM. Top-tier typists often exceed 100 WPM with high accuracy.
Why is accuracy important in a typing test?
Accuracy measures how many words you typed correctly out of the total. Speed is useless without accuracy; a high WPM with many errors takes more time to fix later. Aim for at least 95% accuracy.
Does this tool track what I type?
Absolutely not. Like all tools on Genix, the typing test runs locally in your browser. We do not log your keystrokes or store the text you type. Your privacy is 100% protected.
