About The Site
Free typing practice, built and maintained as an independent web product.
Free Online Typing is a typing practice platform for people who want accurate WPM measurement, steady improvement, and useful learning content without a paywall. The site combines interactive typing tools, multilingual practice pages, data-entry drills, and a blog focused on typing technique and keyboard literacy.
Who maintains it
The site is independently built and maintained by Amrit Adhikari. Product updates, content revisions, bug fixes, and UX changes are handled on an ongoing basis as the platform grows.
What the goal is
The goal is to publish genuinely useful typing tools and content: not doorway pages, not scraped summaries, and not thin pages whose only purpose is search traffic.
How scoring works on Free Online Typing
Typing scores on this site are based on the standard convention that one word equals five characters, including spaces. Gross WPM reflects raw speed. Net WPM reflects usable speed after errors are considered. Accuracy is derived from correct keystrokes compared with total keystrokes.
Gross WPM = (total characters / 5) / minutes
Net WPM = Gross WPM - error penalty
Accuracy = correct keystrokes / total keystrokes x 100
Different practice modes emphasize different outcomes. Short tests are useful for burst speed, while longer tests are better for sustained performance. For a mode-by-mode breakdown, visit Typing Modes.
