Detailed Answer
Typing speed is measured using timed tests (1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes). You copy a given text (monologue or dialogue) into an input field. The system counts: total keystrokes, correct keystrokes, errors (wrong characters, omissions, extra insertions), and time. Gross WPM = (total characters / 5) / minutes. Net WPM = (correct characters / 5) / minutes. Accuracy % = (correct characters / total characters) × 100. Some tests deduct 1 WPM per error. Online platforms like 10FastFingers, TypingTest.com, and Monkeytype offer free measurements. For consistent results, take multiple tests and average them.
