What this workout reveals
A clean speed and accuracy baseline.
- Net and raw WPM
- Keystroke accuracy and corrected errors
- Rhythm consistency and five-second burst speed
- Median key-transition latency
- Slow keys, difficult pairs, and late-session fatigue
How to get a useful result
- 01
Use the same duration when comparing attempts.
- 02
Keep your eyes on the text rather than the keyboard.
- 03
Do not chase speed during the first ten seconds; establish a repeatable rhythm.
- 04
Repeat after a targeted workout, not immediately after memorizing the text.
Questions about this workout
Clear rules make scores comparable.
Corrections do not directly subtract WPM, but the time spent correcting and the corrected-error count remain visible. Raw and net speed make the tradeoff clear.
No. Keystrokes, generated text, and results remain in this browser. No account or upload is required.
Sixty seconds is a practical baseline. Use three to five minutes when you need a more stable measure of professional pace and fatigue.
