Find out why your typing is stuck

Other tests tell you your speed. We show which keys, letter pairs and habits cost you time, then drill them.

Free, no card needed.

Below is an example from someone who has typed for a couple of weeks. Your first report, after 3 tests, starts with the one or two biggest things; it fills in as you keep typing.

1. What slows you down, in plain words

What we found

Mistakes slow you down the most
About 8% of your typing time goes on fixing mistakes. Halve them and you'd be about 2 wpm faster. The speed is there: about 63 wpm when nothing trips you up. Ease off a little: steady beats fast and messy.
Your biggest weak spot: the letters “th”
You get it wrong about 1 in 5 times, against 1 in 50 for your typing overall. Fixing it is worth about +0.9 wpm.
You type some letters in the wrong order
Like “liek” for “like”: one hand gets ahead of the other. Yours: th→ht, or→ro, an→na. Slow down a touch on those pairs and let each letter land.
Most of your mistakes are hitting the wrong key
You pressed a different key than the one you meant. Your most common: e → r.
Your left hand makes more mistakes
Noticeably more than your right hand.

2. Where your time actually goes

Smooth typing versus mistakes, slow spots and pauses.

86% Typing smoothly

Clean keystrokes at your normal pace.

8% Fixing mistakes

Wrong key, noticing it, backspace, retype.

2% Slow spots

Letters and pairs that take you longer than usual.

4% Pausing between words

Extra time at the start and end of words.

3. Every test, replayed

See exactly which letters you mistyped. This one is from the example typist.

4. Every key, with its story Pro

Warmer keys cost you more. Click one to see what you press instead.

Click a key for its story. Warmer = worse than your own average.

5. Practice built from your own weak spots

Short daily plans on your biggest time-sinks. Fixes are re-checked after 3, 7 and 21 days to make sure they stuck.

Questions

Is it free?

Tests, your biggest finding and one drill a day are free. Pro is $10 a month or $100 a year, with a 7-day free trial.

How do I know I'm improving?

A weekly 60-second benchmark on text of the same difficulty. We only say you got faster when the change beats your normal run-to-run variation.

What do you record?

Only the keys you press in the typing box and their timing, on text we give you. Raw keystrokes are deleted after 90 days. We never sell data.

Can I race people?

Yes, matched to your level. When it is quiet, races are filled out with recorded and computer-paced racers.
