Here are a few screenshots from the previous speedtest which was live from around 2007-2011 and which got replaced by the new Typing Speed Test.
The functionality of the previous version was quiet simple:
- you could type for one minute using the 100-200 most frequent used words of your language
- at the end you got your result, if you wanted to save it you had to take a screenshot (which a lot of people did and even posting there screenshot on forums etc.)
- you also got a badge with your WPM count (which wasn’t accurate because I didn’t use the correct WPM-calculation back then)
- the ranking list was reseted at the start of the month
- cheating was quiet easy
- lots of other stuff which got improved by now

I love the new redesign! I use typeracer, sense-lang, and freetypinggame. Now I gotta add this one to the list. Great concept you got here.
pls in the typing fast website pls can you put in more high school places like 11th 12th 13th if you do that ill give you a big thanks
I might eventually add a bigger ranking list, but on a separate site, so the main page won't be cluttered. Sadly this is not very high on my todo list, sorry.
Hey!
Thanks for putting this site together, I have been trying to improve my Japanese typing skills and it's been a great test of my kanji knowledge! I went on today after a little break and I can input the first word but after that I can't write anything in the box, even if I type the correct answer into the box nothing shows and the kanji goes red – is anyone else having similar problems?
Thanks again for the site!
I'm having the same problem too.
Made me sad since I discovered this site yesterday…. Having fun with the English speed test but I wanted to take the Japanese one too…
I'm currently working on this, will hopefully be fixed today.
Just a small bug I noticed, it instantly goes to 59 seconds and stays there the first 2 seconds.
Thank you for mentioning this, will fix this immediately!
Excellent website. And one tip from me. You should give the statistics for each language separately. For example, I write 80 wpm on average for English but for Russian it is 15, and they appear on the same graphics which is not very good
hi hab ne frage wo kann man das ergebniss ausdrucken?
danke für infos
sorry, but there is currently no specific way to print out your result, just click "print" in your browser.
You could use a tool like "http://printwhatyoulike.com" to only print a specific part of the site.
