English Typing Test

The English typing test lets you measure and improve your typing speed using real English words. The test loads a English word list, so you practise the vocabulary, spelling and character patterns you actually use in the language.

English uses the standard QWERTY layout and a Latin alphabet with no accents, making it the most common language for typing tests worldwide. Whether you are a native speaker or learning English, typing with the right word list builds far more useful muscle memory than practising in a language you do not write in.
