How it works
This typing test uses names and addresses and nothing else: invented records, each with a name, a street or box address, a town, state, ZIP code and phone number. The page opens on one minute.

What each record carries
Sixty-eight records sit in four sets: house and street, apartments and suites, PO boxes and rural routes, and last name first. Every record has capitals, a house or box number, a two-letter state, five ZIP digits and seven phone digits, and most have a short form such as St, Ave, Apt or PO.
An address typing test for desk work
A registration or records desk, in a hospital front office as much as a school or a bank, types records like these all day. As a data entry typing test, address records are stricter than prose: one wrong digit in a ZIP code makes a wrong record.
- Read numbers as chunks: 5520 as 55 and 20, a ZIP code as three digits and two.
Questions and answers
Is there a free typing test with people's names, addresses and numbers?
Yes. Each record here is a person's name, an address and a phone number, and nearly one keystroke in four is a digit. It is free, with no sign-up.
Are the names and addresses real?
No. Every person and street is invented, and no town name is a US place in the Census Bureau's 2025 gazetteer. Each state and ZIP code pair is real. Phone numbers sit in 555-0100 to 555-0199, the range reserved for fiction.
What is KPH on an address typing test?
Keystrokes per hour: your correct characters per minute, times 60, so 1 WPM equals 300 KPH. Address lines are thick with digits and capitals, which a count of keystrokes describes better than a count of words.
