About Typekaro
A typing test that runs entirely in your browser, built around one idea: seeing which finger belongs on which key is what actually teaches touch typing.
What it does
You get a passage, a clock and four lengths to choose from. The moment you type your first character the test starts, and when the time runs out you get your speed, your accuracy, and a breakdown of what happened in between.
There is no account, no sign-up and nothing to install. Open the page and type.
How speed is measured
Speed is reported in words per minute, where a word is defined as five characters including spaces and punctuation. The figure shown is net WPM, calculated as (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes.
The result screen also shows raw WPM, which counts every keystroke rather than only the correct ones. The gap between the two numbers is what your mistakes cost you.
How accuracy is measured
Accuracy is the proportion of your keystrokes that produced the right character: correct ÷ total × 100.
Correcting a mistake with Backspace repairs the text but not the score. That is deliberate, and it is how typing tests are conventionally measured: the time you spent noticing the error and fixing it is time that already went.
Why there is a hand guide
Most people who type quickly but incorrectly are using three or four fingers and looking down. The fix is not practice, it is knowing which finger owns which key, and the fastest way to learn that is to see it rather than read it.
So as you type, the keyboard lights the next key and the hands raise the finger that should press it, both taking their colour from the same eight-colour scheme. The two displays read from a single key-to-finger map, which is why they can never disagree. When a capital or symbol comes up, the pinky on the opposite hand lights too, because that is the one holding Shift.
Both aids can be switched off from the settings menu once you no longer need them, which is the point.
Where your results are stored
In your browser, using local storage, under the key typing-test-history. There is no database and no server: the results never leave the device you typed on.
Two consequences worth knowing. Clearing your browsing data for this site deletes your history, and your results will not follow you to another browser or device. The most recent 200 tests are kept, and your preferences live alongside them under typing-test-settings.
If your browser blocks local storage, the test still works end-to-end; only the history and personal-best tracking go away, and the result screen tells you so rather than failing quietly.
Who made this
Typekaro is built by Manoj Kumar. If you find a problem or want something added, the code is the best place to start.
