Type your own text
A randomised word list is the right default for measuring raw speed, and the wrong tool entirely when you are drilling something specific: a monologue you have to perform, a glossary of chemistry terms, the boilerplate you retype every week, or a paragraph in a language the standard word pool does not cover. Paste it below and it becomes the test.
Once you load a passage, the address bar updates to contain it. That link is the whole point: hand it to a class, drop it in a stream description, or bookmark it for tomorrow, and whoever opens it gets your exact passage at your exact duration. Nothing is uploaded and no account is involved — the text travels inside the URL itself, which is also why there is a five thousand character ceiling on it.
A few mechanics worth knowing. Line breaks and tabs collapse into single spaces, because the test corrects mistakes within a word and needs plain word boundaries to do it. If you type past the end of a short passage it loops rather than stopping, so a one-line quote still fills a full run. And your best scores here are kept apart from your scores on the standard test, since a passage you chose yourself is not comparable to a random one.
Frequently asked questions
Where does my pasted text go?
Into the address bar, and nowhere else. The passage travels inside the URL itself. Nothing is uploaded and no account is involved, which is also why there is a five thousand character ceiling on it.
Can I share the exact test I built?
Yes. Load a passage, then copy the link. Whoever opens it gets your exact passage at your exact duration.
What happens to line breaks and tabs in my text?
They collapse into single spaces. The test corrects mistakes within a word, and it needs plain word boundaries to do that.
What if my passage is shorter than the run?
It loops rather than stopping, so a one-line quote still fills a full run.
Other typing tests
The standard typing test
The default word test at 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds — the one most people are looking for.
1 minute typing test
The 60-second benchmark: long enough to be honest, short enough to run again straight away.
5 minute typing test
Five sustained minutes — endurance and consistency rather than a single burst.
Code typing test
Keywords, brackets, operators and camelCase identifiers instead of prose.
Accuracy drill
Strict mode: a wrong key is counted and the cursor refuses to move until you fix it.
Mobile typing test
Thumb-typing on a phone keyboard, scored and stored separately from your desktop runs.
