Frequently asked questions

How are words per minute calculated?

Only correct characters count, divided by 5 (one word) and adjusted to the real time. You also see the raw speed with errors included.

Can I paste the text to try it?

No: it is switched off on purpose so the result reflects what you type. Each test uses the same texts in a different order.
