Frequently Asked Questions
WPM is calculated by dividing total characters typed by 5 (standard word length), then dividing by minutes elapsed. Net WPM subtracts uncorrected errors. Our test uses Net WPM — the industry standard used by all government exams.
Yes. Every incorrect character reduces your Net WPM score. Errors are highlighted in red as you type. Your accuracy percentage shows how many characters you typed correctly out of total keystrokes.
Yes! IndianTyping.com is fully mobile-optimised. On mobile, the text display uses a teleprompter mode — only 3 lines are visible, scrolling as you type, so the keyboard never covers your text. Works on both Android and iPhone.
Practice daily for at least 20 minutes. Focus on accuracy first — speed follows naturally. Use all 10 fingers (touch typing). Don't look at the keyboard. Start at a comfortable pace and gradually increase. Most users see 5–10 WPM improvement per week of consistent practice.
Your text typed is never stored on our servers. Your personal best WPM is saved locally on your device (browser localStorage) only — it never leaves your device. We store only anonymised aggregate statistics to show site activity.
