GEARCHECK LABCompare your typing speed and accuracy using the same original sample, keyboard layout and test duration. The timer starts on your first character. Corrections are allowed; pasted text is blocked inside the test field.
Timer begins on the first character. Corrections are allowed; paste is disabled. Leaving the page interrupts the run.
Corrected words per minute equals matching characters divided by five, divided by elapsed minutes. Gross WPM uses all retained characters, including mismatches. Accuracy is matching characters divided by retained characters, expressed as a percentage. Positions are compared with the sample, so inserting or omitting a character can make later positions mismatch until corrected. Deleted mistakes are not kept in a lifetime error count. A short accurate sample and a longer sustained sample answer different questions; compare like with like.
This measures a person typing through a browser, not keyboard electrical latency or switch quality. Familiarity with the sample, language, fatigue, autocorrection and keyboard layout affect results. The first character begins the timer, and completing the passage ends the run early. Switching tabs or leaving the browser interrupts the run rather than producing a misleading comparable score. For missing keys use the Keyboard Test; for repeated switch input use the Chatter Test. On-screen keyboards can enter text, but do not represent physical-key behavior.
One standard word is five characters. Corrected WPM uses characters matching the sample at their current positions and the actual elapsed test time.
Yes. Backspace and corrections are allowed. Accuracy describes the retained text; it is not a history of every mistake you deleted.
Diagnostic input and results are processed locally in this browser tab. This tool does not upload the sample or ask you to create an account. Reset or reload clears the current sample. Normal website requests and any analytics you choose to allow are described in our privacy policy.
