Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about TypeDelta

1. General Questions

What is TypeDelta?

TypeDelta is a standardized typing speed test, practice platform, and certification engine built to help typists of all levels achieve peak velocity and accuracy through low-latency telemetry and cognitive feedback.

Is TypeDelta free to use?

Yes. All timed tests, developer coding drills, multiplayer racing rooms, and speed certificates are 100% free and accessible to the public.

2. WPM & Accuracy Calculation

How is Words Per Minute (WPM) calculated?

We use the standardized international formula: one "word" is defined as exactly 5 keystrokes (including letters, punctuation, and spaces). Gross WPM = (Total Keystrokes / 5) / (Time in Minutes). Net WPM subtracts uncorrected errors.

How does TypeDelta track accuracy?

Accuracy = (Correct Characters Typed / Total Characters Typed) × 100%. Maintaining 97%+ accuracy is recommended before attempting to push raw speed.

3. Certification & Verifications

How do I earn an official typing speed certificate?

Take either a 5-minute (300s) or 10-minute (600s) standardized examination. Typists achieving at least 30 Net WPM with 90%+ accuracy automatically receive a downloadable high-resolution certificate featuring a verifiable ID token and a 1-click "Add to LinkedIn" credential button.

Can employers verify my certificate?

Yes. Every certificate features a unique cryptographic verification token and QR code that resolves directly on typedelta.com/verify.
