A speed test that doesn’t phone home

Most typing tests ship your keystrokes to a scoreboard. This one scores you in the page and stops there.

01

Keystrokes stay put.

Every key you press is scored right here in the page. Nothing about how you type is sent anywhere.

02

Model download ≠ audio upload.

The optional speaking round loads a ~40 MB speech model from a public CDN, once. Your microphone audio is transcribed in this tab and then it’s gone.

03

Your history is yours.

Past runs, personal bests, and charts live in your browser’s own storage. Clear them any time. There’s no account and no server keeping score.

How it works

Type, read, then talk

No countdown, no account — the whole thing runs in this tab.

  1. 1

    Type the passage.

    No countdown — the timer starts when you do. Fix mistakes or leave them; we score both ways.

  2. 2

    Read the insights.

    Net WPM, real accuracy, your slowest letter, the words you’re slow to start — and what your number sounds like as a talking speed.

  3. 3

    Say the same words.

    Load the private speech model, read it out loud, and see how much faster your voice already is. This is the part the Mac app was built for.

The gap between your fingers and your voice

How this test humbled its maker

Twenty-eight runs, a lifetime-best 62 WPM — then the speak round hit 214. The whole story.

From a browser tab to every Mac app

You just proved your voice is faster. Clabrate lets you use it.

This page ends the way every web tool does: you read a number and close the tab. The Clabrate Mac app turns that speaking speed into finished text — hold a key, talk, let go, and the words land wherever your cursor already is. Transcribed on your Mac by default, no cloud required.

Plenty of people will take the test, feel briefly outraged at their own fingers, and move on. Good. If you write all day, the app is the part where the speed becomes yours.

Questions

Typing test FAQ

How is the typing speed measured?

The timer starts on your first keystroke, not a countdown. WPM uses the standard five-characters-per-word convention, and only correctly typed characters count — so mashing keys won’t inflate your score. We also show “true accuracy,” which counts every keystroke you ever made, even the ones you fixed.

What’s the difference between accuracy and true accuracy?

Accuracy compares your final text to the passage, so a typo you backspaced and fixed doesn’t count against you. True accuracy counts every keystroke, corrections included. One rewards a clean result, the other is honest about the process.

Do I have to do the speaking round?

No. You’ll get your full typing score without it. The speaking round is optional, needs microphone access, and takes about thirty seconds — it’s there so you can feel how much faster your voice is.

Is my voice recording stored or uploaded?

No. If you do the speaking round, the audio is transcribed once, right here in the browser, only to count your words — then it’s discarded. The only thing that touches the network is the one-time speech-model download from a public CDN. Model download is not audio upload.

Where is my history saved?

In your browser, in local storage on this device. Your past runs, personal bests, and charts never leave it, there’s no account, and you can export or clear everything whenever you like.

Why does a dictation app run a typing test?

Because the test makes our whole point for us. Most people type well under 100 WPM and speak between 120 and 160. Once you’ve felt that gap, Clabrate is how you start writing at the faster number.
