    I don't think the wpm calculation is correct. I got 90-something on this test, but another test[^] puts me around 60-70 consistently.

    Was it sentences or was it (as it looks like from my glance) just random alpha-numeric characters?  If the latter then I'd expect "scores" to drop.


    As of how to accomplish this I wouldn't have a clue at the moment and I'm too lazy to google it

                Do it a few times and you'll notice that you'll often get some repeated text.  But then again my 122 was very early on when it hadn't yet repeated :~

                                It's real paragraphs. But with all the punctuation and capitalization included. It uses a Java applet to run the test.

                                  I think it has to do with the words it uses. There seemed to be a large number of large words. I think characters per minute is a more accurate metric of speed.

                                  This statement is false.

                                    The 'official definition' of words per minute defines a word as 5 keys (letters, numbers, symbols, space, enter, tab, etc). So unless the test isn't following the rules, word length shouldn't matter.

                                          That's why someone would make a lot of money for a vocal intellisense, you know set up aliases etc, autocomplete words that we begin to speak... :cool:


                                          As of how to accomplish this I wouldn't have a clue at the moment and I'm too lazy to google it
