2Keep going. Type as much of the passage as you can before time runs out. Correct and incorrect characters are highlighted live.
3Review your results. When the timer hits zero, your words-per-minute (WPM) and accuracy are shown. Click "Try again" for a new passage.
What is a typing speed test?
A typing test measures how fast and accurately you can type a given passage of text within a fixed time limit, usually reported as words per minute (WPM) and accuracy (the percentage of characters typed correctly). It's commonly used to practice touch typing, benchmark typing speed for job requirements, or simply track improvement over time.
How Tabreon handles your data
The passage is generated locally and your typing is compared to it entirely in your browser — nothing you type is transmitted to or stored on a server.
Key features
60-second timed test with a randomly generated passage
Live WPM and accuracy tracking as you type
Per-character highlighting of correct and incorrect input
Instant restart with a new passage
Common use cases
Practicing touch typing to build speed and accuracy
Benchmarking typing speed for a job application requirement
Warming up before a long typing or transcription session
Common mistakes & limitations
The test uses randomly generated passages from a common-word bank rather than real sentences, so it measures raw typing mechanics rather than reading comprehension speed.
Frequently asked questions
WPM is calculated as the number of correctly typed characters divided by 5 (the standard "average word" length), divided by the elapsed time in minutes.
Any typed character that doesn't match the corresponding character in the passage at that position counts as an error and lowers your accuracy percentage.
Yes — click "Try again" (or Restart mid-test) to get a new randomly generated passage and reset the timer.
