Bengali Typing Test

This is the whole reason the test is worth taking. A typing test that measures with String.length counts Unicode code points, and Bengali writes a great many characters as more than one.

Counting code points would inflate your character count and mis-attribute errors to marks you typed correctly. This test segments by grapheme cluster and normalises both sides to NFC first, so what it calls a character is what you would call a character.

Gross WPM is characters typed divided by five, per minute — the standard definition. Net WPM subtracts errors per minute and is clamped at zero. Accuracy is correct characters over everything you typed.

All of it is computed at the end from an immutable log of what you actually produced, never accumulated live, so backspacing and retyping are recorded honestly. The result also breaks errors down per character, which is more useful than a single number: it tells you which letters are costing you.

One, three or five minutes. Common words are the better warm-up; paragraphs are closer to writing something real. Finishing early is allowed and scored against the time you actually spent.

Results are kept in your browser so you can watch the number move. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. If you are on a phone, a touchscreen will not build real speed — the Bengali keyboard drills teach where the letters sit instead, which is the part that transfers.
