How fast can you type? Take this free online WPM test — pick a 15, 30, or 60 second round, start typing, and watch your words per minute and accuracy update live. When time runs out you get a result screen with a shareable score, so you can challenge friends to beat it. The test runs entirely in your browser: no sign-up, no downloads, and nothing you type ever leaves your device. It works just as well on a phone as on a laptop, which makes it a realistic measure of how fast you actually type day to day — in chats, emails, and everything in between.
Words per minute vary a lot by device and experience. As a rule of thumb on a physical keyboard:
| WPM | Level |
|---|---|
| Under 30 | Beginner — focus on accuracy first |
| 30–45 | Average — most people land here |
| 45–70 | Above average — comfortable for office work |
| 70–100 | Fast — transcription / writing-heavy jobs |
| 100+ | Professional — top few percent |
On a phone, subtract roughly a third — 35–40 WPM with thumbs is already quick. For a deeper look at averages by age and profession, read our guide: What Is a Good Typing Speed?
Typing speed matters less when AI does the heavy lifting. The Synapse keyboard fixes grammar, rewrites tone, and expands shortcuts in any Android app — so a rough 30-WPM draft still comes out polished.
Download Synapse FreeWPM (words per minute) counts every 5 correctly typed characters as one word, divided by the time elapsed. This standardises scores so long and short words count equally.
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. 50–60 WPM is above average, 70–90 WPM is fast, and 100+ WPM is professional level. On a phone keyboard, 30–40 WPM is already good.
Yes, especially while learning. A 60 WPM typist at 98% accuracy finishes real work faster than an 80 WPM typist at 85% accuracy, because fixing errors costs more time than typing slowly.
Yes — free, no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
