We use the **Gross WPM** method. The formula is: Gross WPM = (Total Characters Typed / 5) ÷ Time in Minutes. Every 5 characters, including spaces and punctuation, are counted as one word. We focus on this method to give you a clear measure of your raw typing speed.
**Gross WPM** measures your total typing speed without accounting for errors. **Net WPM** subtracts a penalty for errors from your Gross WPM. The formula is: Net WPM = Gross WPM - (Number of Errors ÷ Time in Minutes). Net WPM gives you a more accurate picture of your effective typing speed, including accuracy.
Yes, TypeSpeed supports multiple languages. Currently, you can practice in both English and Russian, making it a versatile tool for language learners and anyone wanting to improve their multilingual typing skills.
The best way to improve is through regular practice. Try to type daily, even for just a few minutes. Focus on accuracy first, as speed will naturally increase as you make fewer errors. Also, be sure to use the correct finger placement for touch typing.
