Character and word counter
Paste a passage to count its words, characters and key depressions the way typing tests count them.
How typing tests count
- A key depression is every character, spaces included. SSC CGL’s data entry test asks for 2,000 in 15 minutes.
- An exam word is 5 key depressions, so long and short words even out.
- Practise any passage you counted with your own text, or compare exams in the rules table.
