About TypeMe
A quiet typing test that shows you a few words at a time and keeps your results on your own device.
Who makes TypeMe
TypeMe is designed and built by an independent developer. Questions, bug reports and ideas go straight to a.official.haseeb@gmail.com.
Why it exists
Most typing tests fill the screen with text. TypeMe does the opposite: it shows only the words you need right now, so practice becomes a short, repeatable act of attention instead of a wall of paragraphs. The design stays quiet on purpose: on a computer, the header and controls fade away while you type, and the words are all that is left.
It is free, needs no account or sign-up, and has no ads in the test. You can practise random words, continuous paragraphs, a scrolling stream of words or single characters, and the reaction time test times how quickly you start each new word.
How results are calculated
The timer starts with your first keystroke, and every score is divided by the full length of the test you chose.
- WPM
- The characters of the words you typed correctly, with the space after each, divided by five (the standard length of a word), divided by the test length in minutes. Each word is judged on its own, as on Monkeytype: a word with a mistake in it counts once you fix it, and the word you are typing when time runs out counts as far as it is right. In the character stream, which has no spaces, every five correct keys make a word.
- Raw WPM
- Every key you pressed except Backspace, counted the same way, mistakes included, even ones you erased. The gap between raw and WPM is the speed that went into mistakes and fixing them.
- Accuracy
- The share of your keystrokes that matched the prompt. A mistake you fix still counts against it, and accuracy never reads 100% once a wrong key was typed.
- Consistency
- How even your raw speed was from one second to the next, by Monkeytype's formula. 100% is a perfectly steady pace; pauses and bursts bring it down.
- Reaction time
- The milliseconds between a new word appearing and your first keystroke on it; the results show the median, so one long pause does not define it. The first word of a session starts the clock, so it is not timed.
- Time per key
- In the character stream: the median time from one correct key to the next, with pauses over two seconds left out.
Personal bests are kept separately for each setup, so a one-word test is never compared with a paragraph, and sessions that used the next-word preview are kept apart from ones that did not.
