Question 1

What does this WPM test measure?

Accepted Answer

Two numbers: typing WPM (correct words per minute against a passage) and speaking WPM (words you say per minute, counted by a local speech model). Most people are shocked by the gap.

Question 2

What's the average words per minute?

Accepted Answer

Typing: around 40 WPM for most people, 65-75 for professionals who type all day. Speaking: 120-160 WPM in normal conversation. That 3-4x gap is why dictation keeps winning.

Question 3

Do I need an account or app?

Accepted Answer

No. The typing test runs instantly; the speaking test downloads a speech model once (670 MB, cached) and runs it in your browser. Nothing is uploaded either way.

Question 4
