About the typing speed test
How the score is calculated
The tool compares your committed input against the passage character by character. For Chinese the main metric is characters per minute; for English it is WPM, where five characters count as one word, with CPM shown alongside. Accuracy is correct characters divided by everything you typed. Time is measured with timestamps, so switching tabs never shortens the countdown, and characters still being composed with an IME are only scored once committed.
Where the passages come from
Passages are curated in two groups: excerpts from public-domain classics such as Zhu Ziqing's prose and Alice in Wonderland, each labeled with its source, and original passages written for this tool around office messages and everyday life. Every passage sticks to common characters and common punctuation so the test stays fair, and when you finish one passage the next is appended seamlessly so the timer never runs out of text.
A browser-only test
Everything you type, your score and the typo review live only in the page state and are cleared when you retry or leave. Nothing is uploaded, no account is created, and no history is stored anywhere.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
How is Chinese typing speed counted?
Chinese speed is counted as correct committed characters per minute. While you are composing with Zhuyin or Pinyin, the in-progress keystrokes are not judged at all — only the characters that actually land in the input are compared with the passage. This matches how employment typing tests count Chinese characters per minute.
What is the difference between WPM and CPM?
CPM is correct characters per minute. WPM is the English-typing convention where every five characters count as one word, so WPM is roughly CPM divided by five. English results show WPM as the main metric with CPM alongside; Chinese results use characters per minute directly, which is the number employers usually ask for.
Why is my score different from other typing test sites?
Different sites use different passages, punctuation rules and scoring formulas — some count raw keystrokes, some subtract typos, some use random word streams. Scores are only comparable within the same site and the same passage style, so use this tool to track your own progress rather than to compare absolute numbers across sites.
Is my typing or score uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole test runs in your browser — the passage comparison, the timer and the scoring are all local. Your input, score and typo review exist only in the page state and disappear when you retry or leave the page. No account, no history, no upload.
Which languages do the passages support?
The current passage library covers Chinese (Traditional and Simplified, chosen by your interface language) and English. Interfaces in other languages can still take the English test. Japanese and Spanish passages are not available yet; we would rather add them properly with native, curated texts than machine-translate a library.
