Question 1

How is typing speed (WPM) calculated on TypePulse?

Accepted Answer

TypePulse uses the standard 5-character word convention: WPM = (correct characters / 5) / elapsed minutes. Gross WPM includes all characters typed, including errors, so you can see both raw speed and net speed.

Question 2

Is TypePulse free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TypePulse is completely free, requires no account or sign-up, and stores your history and settings locally in your browser.

Question 3

Which typing test modes are available?

Accepted Answer

Time-based tests (15s to 5m), word counts (10 to 250 words), quotes, code snippets, zen mode, custom text and file import, and a 15-second guided finger mobility warmup.

Question 4

How does TypePulse measure typing consistency?

Accepted Answer

TypePulse records per-second WPM intervals during your test and computes consistency from the variance of those intervals. A steady rhythm scores close to 100%, while burst-and-wait pacing scores lower.
