Typing Test

A clean, distraction-free typing test for professionals. No character highlighting, no follow-along cursor — you read the passage and type from memory, just like a real typing assessment.

Features

• 30s, 1m, and 3m timed modes
• 65 curated passages from public domain literature (Doyle, Carroll, Wells, Baum, Burroughs, Stoker)
• Passages sized to match each time mode (~50 WPM target)
• Smart seen-tracking — cycles through every passage before repeating
• Live WPM and accuracy in the header
• Light and dark mode (follows system preference, toggle in header)
• Fully responsive down to mobile
• Zero dependencies, no build step, no frameworks
