Korean typing speed · WPM, characters per second and rankings
Speed uses committed characters. It does not count every consonant and vowel key used to compose a Hangul syllable. Check the counting method before comparing scores with another typing service.
WPM, CPM and characters per second
WPM (words per minute) = correct characters ÷ 5 ÷ elapsed minutes. CPM (characters per minute) = correct characters ÷ elapsed minutes. CPS (characters per second) = correct characters ÷ elapsed seconds. For example, 150 correct characters in 30 seconds gives 60 WPM, 300 CPM and 5.00 CPS.
Accuracy and raw speed
Accuracy is the share of character insertions that were correct. Correcting a mistake does not erase it from the input history. Raw WPM uses all inserted characters, including errors. Intermediate Hangul composition and physical key presses are not the same as character insertions.
Leaderboard requirements
No sign-up is required. Choose a nickname. Supported lengths in time, words, quote and long-text modes qualify with at least 80% accuracy, 10 seconds and 20 correct characters. One best result per identity, mode, length and difficulty is displayed; passages compare identical text. Clearing cookies can create another browser identity, so one identity per person is not guaranteed.
Results that do not qualify
Repeating the same passage, custom text, zen mode and some assistance settings do not qualify. Added numbers or punctuation in time and word modes also disqualify a result. Difficulty failure, an input pause longer than 12 seconds, network gaps or abnormal input can exclude results. The result status explains why.
Validation limits
The server checks input sequence, elapsed time, accuracy and speed again. These checks cannot prevent all cheating or prove that a human typed the text. The operator may exclude reviewed results. Scores are not a language proficiency qualification.
