How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the text you want to type in the "Text to Type" field. You can use any text, but standard typing test texts like "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" are recommended for consistent results.
- Click the "Calculate" button.
- The calculator will measure your typing speed in characters per minute (CPM) and words per minute (WPM).
- The accuracy percentage is for demonstration purposes. In a real typing test, accuracy would be calculated by comparing your typed text to the original text and counting the number of mistakes.
Understanding the Results
Characters Per Minute (CPM) measures how many characters you can type in one minute. This is a common metric for typing speed.
Words Per Minute (WPM) measures how many words you can type in one minute. One word is typically considered to be five characters long.
