About TypeTest
TypeTest is a free, open-source typing speed test designed to help anyone measure and improve their typing speed. Practice with general text, code snippets, gaming terminology, or your own custom passages — no account required.
What Makes TypeTest Different
Most typing tests use generic prose. TypeTest includes specialized modes for the people who type the most: developers who need to practice code syntax, and gamers who need to type fast under pressure. Each mode uses real-world content, not artificial filler text.
Features
- Multiple Categories: General words, code snippets, gaming terms, and famous quotes
- 5 Test Modes: Normal, Quote, Daily Challenge, Custom Text, and Race mode
- Live Metrics: Real-time WPM, accuracy, errors, and time tracking
- WPM Graph: Visual performance chart during and after tests
- Keyboard Heatmap: Identify your most mistyped keys
- History: Track your progress over time with local storage
- Sound Effects: Optional mechanical keyboard sounds for feedback
Technology
