Typing Speed Test
Description
The Typing Speed Test project is a web application designed to measure a user’s typing speed and accuracy by presenting them with a passage of text to type. It allows users to practice their typing skills, track their typing speed, and identify areas for improvement.
Features
- Typing Passage: Provide users with a passage of text to type, ranging from simple sentences to longer paragraphs or quotes.
- Real-Time Typing: Track the user’s typing in real-time as they input the text, capturing keystrokes, errors, and completion time.
- Accuracy Calculation: Calculate the user’s typing accuracy by comparing their typed text with the original passage and identifying errors or mistakes.
- Words per Minute (WPM): Calculate the user’s typing speed in words per minute (WPM) based on the number of words typed and the completion time.
- Error Analysis: Provide feedback on typing errors, including mistyped characters, missed spaces, and incorrect words, to help users identify areas for improvement.
- Customizable Settings: Allow users to customize the typing test settings, including the length and difficulty of the passage, timer options, and feedback preferences.
- Leaderboard (Optional): Implement a leaderboard to display high scores and rankings based on users’ typing speeds and accuracy.
- Responsive Design: Ensure the Typing Speed Test is accessible and functional across various devices and screen sizes, including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
Technologies Used
- JavaScript: Utilize JavaScript for implementing real-time typing tracking, accuracy calculation, and user interactions.
- HTML: Structure the web pages using HTML to create the layout and content of the Typing Speed Test, including the typing passage and user interface elements.
- CSS: Style the application with CSS to enhance its appearance, layout, and visual effects.
- Timer Functionality: Implement timer functionality using JavaScript to track the user’s typing speed and completion time, with options for setting time limits or counting down from a specified duration.
- LocalStorage: Store user preferences and typing test results locally on the user’s device using browser storage mechanisms (e.g., localStorage or IndexedDB) for data persistence.
- Responsive Design Frameworks (Optional): Implement responsive design frameworks like Bootstrap or Materialize to ensure compatibility with various devices and screen sizes while maintaining a consistent user experience.
