In-the-background typing speed test?


Occasionally I find myself typing furiously and I'm really curious how much faster I'm typing than if I'm reading from a prompt in an online typing test. Does anyone know of a typing test that runs in the background on either PC or in browser? I imagine it wouldn't be very hard to track keystrokes and give a plot of WPM over time.

I bet there is, but your using the wrong terms in google to find it. How do you google this?

Look for a keylogger that puts timestamps alongside logged keys, and you can start from there :)
