About
Typing Test With Custom Text — Free
Monkeytype and TypeRacer lock custom text mode behind paid plans. This tool gives you both — practice passages and custom text — completely free. Paste any text: an article you wrote, a speech you need to memorize, a piece of code, or your own work. Your last 10 session results are saved in your browser automatically so you can track improvement over time without creating an account.
Custom Text Mode
Paste any text — articles, emails, code — and test your WPM on real content. Monkeytype charges for this.
Session History
Last 10 results saved in your browser. WPM, accuracy, time, and mode — no account needed.
Real-Time Feedback
Characters highlight instantly as you type — correct in black, wrong in red.
100% Private
Everything runs in your browser. Your text and results are never uploaded anywhere.
Use Cases
Who Uses the Typing Speed Test & Why
Practice With Real Work Content
Paste emails, reports, or code you actually write at work. Practicing on content you type every day improves real-world speed faster than random passages.
Job Application Preparation
Many data entry, admin, and customer support roles list a minimum WPM requirement. Test yourself repeatedly with Custom Text mode before applying to know your actual speed.
Track Progress Over Time
Session History saves your last 10 results automatically — no account needed. Check your WPM trend week over week to see if practice is paying off.
Desk Warm-Up
A quick typing test before starting your workday warms up your fingers and shifts focus to the screen — the typing equivalent of stretching before exercise.
Memorization Practice
Paste a speech, presentation, or text you need to memorize. Typing it repeatedly in custom mode reinforces memory better than reading alone.
Accuracy Benchmark
Session History shows accuracy alongside WPM so you can track whether speed gains come at the cost of accuracy — a tradeoff most fast typists need to watch.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Click the Custom Text tab, paste any text — an article, speech, email, code snippet, or anything you need to practice — and click Start Typing. Your WPM and accuracy are measured on your own content. Monkeytype and TypeRacer lock custom text behind paid plans; this is completely free.
Yes. Every completed test is automatically saved to Session History — your last 10 results stored in your browser's localStorage. Each entry shows WPM, accuracy, time elapsed, date, and whether it was a Practice Passage or Custom Text test. No account or signup needed.
Choose a mode, click Start Typing, and type the displayed text. When you complete the passage, your WPM (words per minute) and accuracy percentage are shown instantly.
The average typist types 40–50 WPM. Proficient typists reach 70–80 WPM. Touch typists and professionals often exceed 100 WPM. 60+ WPM qualifies for most data entry and administrative typing requirements.
WPM = (total characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ elapsed time in minutes. One 'word' is standardly defined as 5 characters including spaces — so 300 characters in 1 minute = 60 WPM.
Accuracy is tracked separately. WPM measures your raw speed (characters over time). The accuracy % shows how precisely you typed. Session History records both so you can see whether speed gains come at the cost of accuracy.
Practice consistently with proper touch-typing technique. Use Custom Text mode to practice content you actually type at work — real-world material improves faster than random passages. Focus on accuracy first — speed follows naturally.
Yes. No signup, no account, no limit on retakes. Custom Text mode, Session History, and practice passages are all free. Everything runs in your browser — your text is never uploaded anywhere.
