Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing speed (WPM)?
Average adult typing speed is 40 WPM. Professional typists reach 65-75 WPM. Competitive speed typists exceed 100 WPM. For most office work, 50+ WPM with high accuracy is comfortable. Accuracy matters more than raw speed for real work.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM (words per minute) is typically calculated as (correct characters typed / 5) / minutes elapsed. The division by 5 standardizes to an average word length of 5 characters. Some tests count only correctly typed words; Dokall factors accuracy into the final score.
What is a good accuracy percentage?
Aim for 95% or higher accuracy. Speed with frequent errors is slower in practice because you spend time backspacing. Professional typists maintain 98-99% accuracy. If your accuracy drops below 90%, slow down and focus on precision before pushing speed.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Practice touch typing - typing without looking at the keyboard. Use all ten fingers with proper home-row positioning. Start slow with high accuracy, then gradually increase speed. Regular short practice sessions (10-15 minutes daily) beat occasional long sessions.
Does this test work on mobile?
The test works on mobile browsers, but on-screen keyboards make speed comparison with desktop results unreliable. WPM benchmarks are designed for physical keyboards. Use a desktop or laptop for meaningful speed measurements.
