Touch typing means typing with all ten fingers while your eyes stay on the screen. Each finger owns a set of keys, starting from the home row (A S D F and J K L ;), so your hands learn positions instead of searching. It is the single biggest upgrade you can make to your typing speed, and it also cuts mistakes and neck strain.

This page is a ten finger typing test pre-set to two minutes, long enough to show your real rhythm. When you finish you get your WPM, accuracy and a map of the keys you missed, so you know exactly what to practise next. Pair it with the free touch typing lessons to go from the home row to full sentences. No account and no ads.

Touch typing practice — frequently asked questions

How do I start learning touch typing?

Rest your fingers on the home row, with the index fingers on F and J (feel the small bumps). Learn one row at a time, keep your eyes on the screen, and favour accuracy over speed. Fifteen minutes a day works better than one long session.

How long does it take to learn touch typing?

Most people type without looking after two to four weeks of daily practice, and reach a comfortable 40 to 50 WPM within two or three months. Speed keeps improving with regular practice after that.

Is touch typing really faster than two-finger typing?

Yes. Two-finger typists usually top out around 30 to 40 WPM because they must look at the keys. Touch typists regularly reach 60 to 80 WPM, and the gap grows with practice.
