About Typing Toolkit

Who runs Typing Toolkit

Typing Toolkit is an independent website run by Lee Palmer, who builds small, practical tool websites. It was made to give people a straightforward place to measure their typing, learn touch typing properly and practise the keys that slow them down, without sign-ups or clutter.

How the tools work

The tests and drills run entirely in your browser. Speed is calculated from correct characters, with five characters counted as one word, and accuracy is the share of typed characters that match the passage. The calculation is explained on the WPM test page. Your results, completed lessons and most-missed keys are saved in your browser's local storage so the progress page can show your trend. Nothing you type is sent to our server.

How we write our guides

Guides focus on practical steps you can try straight away with the tools on this site. Where we refer to research, such as average typing speeds, we name the source. Rough guides, such as speed bands, are labelled as guidance rather than official standards. Pages show when they were last reviewed.

Advertising

Typing Toolkit may show ads to cover its running costs. Ads never affect how tests are scored. See the privacy policy for details.
