Measure your typing speed, accuracy and consistency in real time. Clean, distraction-free, and free forever.
This is a clean, real-time typing speed test designed to feel natural and distraction-free. Start typing the highlighted text and the timer begins automatically. Correct letters turn light, mistakes turn red, and a smooth caret follows your position. Your live WPM and accuracy update as you type.
Pick time mode (type as much as you can in 15/30/60/120 seconds), words mode (race to finish a fixed number of words), or quote mode (type a full meaningful sentence). The text setting controls difficulty: common words, an extended vocabulary, or text with punctuation and numbers.
Net WPM counts only correctly typed words and is the figure that matters most. Raw WPM includes everything you typed. Accuracy is the share of correct keystrokes, and consistency shows how steady your speed stayed.
Press Tab any time to restart the same test, or Esc to generate a fresh one — so you stay in flow without reaching for the mouse.
Indian recruitment tests measure typing two ways: words per minute (WPM) and key depressions per hour (KDPH). One word is standardised as 5 key depressions, so the conversion is simple: KDPH = WPM × 300. This test shows both live, because SSC's DEST is set in depressions while CHSL's typing test is set in WPM.
| Speed in WPM | Key depressions / hour | Meets |
|---|---|---|
| 26.7 WPM | 8,000 KDPH | SSC DEST (CGL Tax Asst. / CHSL DEO) |
| 30 WPM | 9,000 KDPH | RRB NTPC Typist (Eng) · CPCT English |
| 35 WPM | 10,500 KDPH | SSC CHSL LDC/JSA (English) |
| 40 WPM | 12,000 KDPH | Comfortable safety margin |
Benchmarks above are the commonly prescribed figures; the exact requirement, passage length and mistake-penalty rules are printed in each notification, which always prevails. Evaluation is on net speed — errors cost you, so accuracy above 95% matters as much as raw pace.
Use Exam Mode above to practise at real exam length (10–15 minutes) on continuous passages with a pass/fail verdict against your target — sprint speed on a 15-second test routinely drops 15–20% over a full 10-minute passage. Typing in Hindi? Our Hindi typing test covers Krutidev/CPCT with exam rules.
WPM = correctly typed characters ÷ 5, normalised to 60 seconds. Raw WPM includes mistakes; net WPM counts only correct words.
Average is ~40 WPM. Good is 50–70 WPM; professionals reach 70–100+. SSC CHSL requires about 35 WPM in English.
Accuracy is the percentage of correct characters. Consistency measures how steady your speed was throughout.

Practise ~10 minutes daily, use all ten fingers on the home row, don't look at the keyboard, and prioritise accuracy first.
About 26.7 WPM. One word equals 5 key depressions, so KDPH = WPM × 300. SSC's DEST requirement of 8,000 KDPH means roughly 2,000 depressions in the 15-minute test — this page shows your live KDPH so you can track it directly.
35 WPM net is the commonly prescribed benchmark for the CHSL LDC/JSA English typing test (30 WPM for Hindi), evaluated on a roughly 10-minute passage after deducting errors. Aim for 40+ WPM at 95%+ accuracy in practice — and always verify the current notification.
