- live dashboard metrics: monitor your words per minute (wpm), accuracy percentage, and time progress on a real-time scoreboard as you type.
- flexible test parameters: select custom test modes between elapsed times (15s, 30s, 60s, 120s) or words caps (10, 25, 50, 100).
- light & dark styling: togglable visual interfaces optimized for standard lighting conditions to prevent visual fatigue.
- stats aggregation: save your scores and review your career trajectory under the local profile metrics page.
speed typing formula
accuracy is the ratio of correct keystrokes over total recorded keystrokes. standard words per minute (wpm) is calculated using:
WPM = (correct_characters / 5) / (seconds_elapsed / 60)
each space and letter counts as a character. a standard word is defined as 5 characters.
