Typing Tests
Take timed typing tests (1, 2, or 3 minutes) with real-time WPM and accuracy tracking. Our scoring uses the standard Net WPM formula: (Total Characters ÷ 5 ÷ Minutes) minus (Uncorrected Errors ÷ Minutes). Choose from 5 text categories (General, Business, Legal, Medical, Technical) and 3 difficulty levels. Results include WPM rank badges from Beginner to Elite.
Government Typing Test Simulator
Prepare for USPS CBT 712/713, Federal GS-322, and State/County civil service typing exams with our dedicated government test mode. Features a fixed 5-minute duration matching real tests, official WPM pass/fail thresholds (30-45 WPM depending on position), optional no-backspace mode, and formal government-style text content including memos, correspondence, and policy documents.
Transcription Tests & Practice
Practice transcription with text-to-speech audio playback at adjustable speeds (0.5x to 1.5x). Your transcription is scored word-by-word using Levenshtein distance comparison against the reference text. Prepare for transcription platform assessments (Rev, TranscribeMe, GoTranscript) and professional transcription work.
Typing & Transcription Lessons
Structured lessons covering touch typing fundamentals (home row placement, accuracy training, common patterns, numbers and symbols, rhythm development, ergonomics) and transcription techniques (audio playback strategies, handling unclear speech, formatting standards, proofreading, speed optimization).
