What is it
The Typing Test is a free online tool that measures your typing speed in words per minute (PPM) and also your accuracy, that is, the percentage of letters you get right when copying the text. It uses texts in Portuguese, which makes the test fairer for those who write on a daily basis with accents, cedilla and words from our language.
As you type, the tool compares letter by letter what appears on the screen with what you write and highlights errors in real time. This way, you immediately realize where you stumbled, without having to wait for the end to check the result. It's a simple way to know your current level and monitor progress over time.
This measure is useful for those who take competitions with a typing test, work in customer service and transcription, work as an assistant, secretary or writer, or just want to type faster and with fewer errors on the computer.
How to use
Follow these simple steps:
- Click on the test area and start typing the text that appears on the screen.
- Copy exactly what is written, including accents, capitalization and punctuation.
- Note the highlighted errors as you write and correct them when it makes sense.
- When you finish the passage, see your result in words per minute and accuracy in percentage.
- If you want, retake the test to try to improve your brand.
There is no need to install anything, create an account or pay. Everything works directly in the browser, on your computer or notebook.
Tips
- Keep your fingers in the correct position on the keyboard and avoid looking at the keys.
- Prioritize accuracy first: over time, speed comes naturally.
- Take short breaks to avoid tiring your hands and maintain the rhythm.
- Repeat the test on different days to monitor your real progress.
Typing well saves time on any computer task, and practicing a few minutes a day makes a difference. Use the test as a barometer of your progress and celebrate each advance in your speed and accuracy.
