Typeset is a free typing speed test and typing practice tool that measures your words per minute (WPM), accuracy, and consistency in real time. Whether you're a student learning to touch type, a professional wanting faster keyboarding for work, or a writer chasing a personal best, Typeset gives you an instant, no-signup way to test and improve your typing speed.
Typeset tracks your typing speed test results over time, including your best WPM, current streak, and total characters typed, so you can watch your typing skills improve session after session. Mechanical keyboard sound effects, a focus mode that hides distractions, and light/dark themes make each typing practice session feel like using a real newsroom typewriter.
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. Professional typists often reach 65-75 WPM, and competitive typists can exceed 120 WPM. Use the timed test on Typeset regularly to track your progress toward these benchmarks.
Words per minute is calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed characters by 5 (the average word length), then dividing by the elapsed time in minutes. Typeset calculates this live as you type.
