Typing Speed Checker

Being able to type relatively fast does not only save you a lot of time during the day, but it can also help improve your focus, health and overall productivity. Typing Speed Checker is a very light piece of software that enables you to determine whether it is time to work on improving your typing speed via a simple test.

After a quick setup that entails decompressing the archive, you can start using the application right away. The program comes with a non-complicated and minimalistic interface and allows you to swap between two themes, light and dark.

In the eventuality you are in a room with a lot of light or using a laptop or tablet, then perhaps it would be best to perform the test on the black background, as no light is going to glow on the non-color surface. Even though it is not very obvious, you can switch between the two themes via the right mouse click.

The program includes a single test which is rather simplistic and that implies typing in the sentence listed above. It is necessary to mention that you can only type that precise sentence in order to be evaluated.

Although it does not have a spell checker, the app does not take your progress into account if you make misspells. Without denying that this may be one method to practice touch-typing, unfortunately, it is rather dull and it would have been nice if the app included more sentences or random words.

As far as the evaluation is concerned, the utility provides you with an anecdote message that indicates whether you are doing fine or need more practice. It would have been useful if you could access a more detailed report in this sense, so that you know the aspects that might be holding you back.

Typing Speed Checker is far from a professional or advanced utility that enables you to test your typing speed accurately. If you are just looking to joke around while determining if your speed is satisfactory, then perhaps you could consider trying this app out.
