Free Online Typing Speed Test - Measure Your WPM, Accuracy & Raw Speed
The Delimiter.site Typing Test measures how fast and accurately you type in real time. Choose a duration from 15 seconds to 30 minutes, select a difficulty, and type the words on screen. When the timer ends you get your WPM, Raw WPM, accuracy percentage and a character-level breakdown.
What You Type in 15s
WPM counts every five characters — spaces included — as one word, so the amount of text you actually produce in 15s is fixed by your speed. Use this to sanity-check a score, or to work out how much of a document 15s of typing would actually cover.
| Speed | Words in 15s | Characters | Errors allowed at 98% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 WPM | 8 | 38 | 1 |
| 40 WPM | 10 | 50 | 1 |
| 60 WPM | 15 | 75 | 2 |
| 80 WPM | 20 | 100 | 2 |
| 100 WPM | 25 | 125 | 2 |
| 120 WPM | 30 | 150 | 3 |
What Your 15s Score Means
Published typing benchmarks almost always describe a one minute test. Because speed drifts with test length — short tests flatter you, long tests punish tension and fatigue — the bands below rescale the standard one minute ranges to 15s, so compare your score against these rather than against a figure you read somewhere for a different length.
| Band | 15s WPM | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Under 34 | Hunt-and-peck, or still learning touch typing. |
| Average | 34-49 | The typical adult typist. Comfortable, but looking at the keys. |
| Proficient | 50-72 | Touch typing without thinking about it. Most office workers land here. |
| Fast | 73-100 | Noticeably quick. Typing is no longer the bottleneck in your work. |
| Professional | 101-122 | Transcription and data-entry territory, sustained at high accuracy. |
| Elite | 123+ | The top fraction of a percent. Competitive typing speed. |
Live Results for the 15s Test
Nobody has saved enough 15s results yet to publish an average. Once a handful are in, the real median, top-10% and best WPM for 15s appear here. Until then the leaderboard lists individual scores, and the site-wide statistics cover every length together.
Wondering why your 15s raw WPM is higher than your WPM, or which difficulty to pick? The typing test guide covers the scoring maths, the three word pools and the technique that actually moves the number.
