Answers to common questions about Keyrova
Keyrova measures speed in words per minute, where one word equals five characters. Accuracy is correct characters divided by total characters typed. All calculations run locally in your browser.
Yes. Every mode and duration is free to use with no play limits and no paid tier. The site is supported by ads.
No. Keyrova works without registration. Your last settings and recent results are saved in your own browser storage.
Articles (standard prose), Code (JavaScript, Python, and SQL snippets), Stories (short branching passages), Chat (casual short messages), and Focus mode with no timer.
30 seconds, 60 seconds, 2 minutes, and 5 minutes. Each duration also has its own landing page with training tips.
Commonly cited figures put the average around 40 WPM. 60+ WPM is good, 80+ WPM is fast, and 100+ WPM is exceptional. Accuracy matters more than raw speed: holding 95%+ accuracy is more valuable than a high speed with many errors.
With consistent daily practice of 15 to 30 minutes, many people notice improvement within a few weeks. Progress varies by person, so compare your own results over time rather than chasing a fixed target.
Try not to. Touch typing (typing without looking at the keys) is how most people reach higher speeds. It feels slow at first, but muscle memory builds with practice.
Code mode uses programming syntax, brackets, and symbols to practice real coding patterns. Story mode uses short narrative passages with a natural language flow.
Keyrova shows general WPM ranges based on commonly cited typing speed figures so you can see roughly where you stand. There is no public leaderboard.
No. What you type is processed in your browser and is not sent to our servers. Advertising and cookie choices are described in the privacy and cookie policies.
WPM naturally varies with word difficulty, punctuation, unfamiliar letter combinations, and fatigue. Focus on your average across several tests rather than any single result.
Slow down until you can hold 95%+ accuracy, then raise speed gradually. Practice problem keys in isolation and keep good posture to reduce strain.
Keyrova works on current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
It is designed for physical keyboards. It loads on phones and tablets, but a hardware keyboard gives the most meaningful results.
