What is HowFastCanIType?

HowFastCanIType is a free, fast, and beautiful typing speed test. We help you measure your typing speed in words per minute (WPM) and track your accuracy over time. No account required – just start typing.

Why Typing Speed Matters

In today's digital world, typing is a fundamental skill. Whether you're a student, professional, programmer, or writer, faster typing means:

• Greater productivity and efficiency
• Better job opportunities (many positions require typing tests)
• Less time spent on emails, documents, and communication
• Reduced strain from hunting and pecking
• More time for creative work instead of mechanical typing

Our Mission

We believe everyone can become a better typist. Our mission is to provide a simple, effective tool for measuring and improving typing speed. We focus on:

• Accuracy – Reliable WPM calculations using industry-standard formulas
• Privacy – Your data stays on your device, not our servers
• Speed – Zero input lag for the most accurate testing experience
• Accessibility – Free for everyone, no registration required

Your Data Stays Local

We respect your privacy. All your typing results, personal bests, and history are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. We don't have accounts, we don't store your data on servers, and we don't sell anything.

The only data we collect is anonymous analytics (with your consent) to understand how people use the site and improve it.

Practice Makes Perfect

The best way to improve your typing speed is consistent practice. We recommend:

• Practice 15-30 minutes daily
• Focus on accuracy before speed
• Learn proper touch typing technique
• Try different text types (words, quotes, code)
• Track your progress over time
