Typing Speedometer
Measures your typing speed with three modes, Standard WPM which uses the official measurement of 1 word for every 5 keystrokes, WPM Actual Words which measures the actual number of words typed, and CPM (characters per minute) which measures individual keystrokes instead of words. Now also features "type anywhere" mode (Windows only) which will measure your typing speed as you write documents, emails or anything else. The calculation period adjustable to display typing speed after less time, although for more accurate typing speeds I recommend at least a minute.
See the Version History for a disclaimer regarding the "type anywhere" mode, and please keep in mind that nothing is recorded in that mode. Less

scramer95I thougt it would accually measure the speed. All it really does is count how many times u use the space bar. Not really worth trying.

Rain AudiartDoes not measure speed accurately. Takes too long to reach actual speed, but drops unbelievably quickly. This lag makes the typing times invalid.
I would prefer if it calculated AWPM. You could just randomly slap the keyboard and the widget would still only give you 30WPM and the words would not be modified for errors.
Definetly not a learning tool or anything to measure your skill by. As a "competitive" typer, I think there is a lot of room for improvement in accuracy.
See http://typera.tk/index.cws for example - every typist's wet dream.
