How this list was compiled: 80 lines written for this page from words of the ENABLE word list, https://norvig.com/ngrams/enable1.txt (read 2026-10-09); every word is in that list. Which keys sit side by side comes from the three letter rows of the United States QWERTY layout (Q W E R T Y U I O P, A S D F G H J K L, Z X C V B N M), and the finger for each letter from this site's type the alphabet list, which follows the standard touch typing chart. The notes and the groups follow a rule: a line stands under Neighbour keys when the two letters it is built on are next to each other on one row, and under Same finger when one finger types both; the line on R and T fits both rules. In a swapped pair the two words differ only by two neighbouring letters changing places, checked letter by letter. That a transposition is two characters switching places, that it comes most often from typing a later character before an earlier one, and that a spelling checker cannot catch a slip that makes another real word, are from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_error (read 2026-10-09). How the tool works out accuracy (correct keystrokes out of all keystrokes) is the tool's own rule. No target figure for accuracy is given, because no public standard was found to cite. On a keyboard that is not laid out as QWERTY, and on a phone, the finger notes do not apply.

How it works

Typing accuracy practice on 80 lines chosen for the motions that cause slips: neighbour keys, two keys for one finger, double letters, swapped pairs and long words. The page opens with no clock, and every result gives accuracy beside speed.

Read the full guide

Five kinds of slip, five groups

Neighbour keys sit side by side, as E and R do in paper river green store. In used made side need one finger takes two keys in a row. Double letters want two even taps. Swapped pairs are real words one transposition apart, such as from form. Long words run to ten letters or more with no space to recover on.

One group at a time

The page opens on the E and R line; after it the lines come mixed. With No timer a run ends with the lines or when you press Finish. Under More options, Practise keeps you on one group, and 30 s or 60 s adds a clock for keyboard accuracy practice under time.

Type the swapped pairs slowly: both spellings are real words, so a spelling checker passes either.

Questions and answers

How is typing accuracy calculated?

Here it is correct keystrokes out of all keystrokes, as a percentage. A wrong key stays in the count after you correct it. Speed is separate: words per minute is correct characters divided by five, for each minute.

What is a good typing accuracy?

This page sets no target, because we found no public standard to quote. 100% means no wrong key at any point in the run. Compare your figure with your own earlier runs on the same group.

Why do I type letters in the wrong order?

That slip is a transposition: two characters change places, as when from comes out as form. The commonest cause is typing fast enough to press a later key before an earlier one. In the swapped pairs here the slip makes another real word.

Is this accuracy practice for typing only?

Yes. Every line is typed on the keyboard, and the notes name fingers on a QWERTY layout. For accuracy with a pointer, the mouse accuracy test is the page.
