Frequently asked questions

What can I paste into custom practice?
Any text you want to practice, an email, a script, code, or study notes. Set your own timer and start typing.
Can I save my custom texts?
Yes, create a free account to save up to 10 custom texts and reuse them across sessions.
Does custom practice count toward the leaderboard?
No. Custom practice uses your own text, so results aren't ranked on the leaderboard, though they're still saved to your profile if you're signed in.
How long can my custom text be?
There's no fixed limit, paste as much or as little text as you want to practice.

What custom practice is good for

Generic passages train general speed, but most real typing is specific: the vocabulary of your job, the syntax of the programming language you use, the names and terms of the subject you study. Pasting your own material lets you practice exactly the words and symbols you type every day. It is also the simplest way to rehearse a fixed text, such as a speech, a script or a passage you need to reproduce in an exam.

Getting more out of your own text

Choose text of at least a few paragraphs so you are not just memorizing a sentence. If the piece is short, turn on repeat to keep typing until the timer ends. Add punctuation or numbers when you want it harder than the original. After each run, note which words tripped you up, and paste a short list of just those words for a slow, careful round before trying the full text again.

Your text stays yours

As a guest, the text you paste is used for the session and is not saved to our database. With a free account you can save up to ten texts to reuse later, and you can delete them whenever you like. Custom results never appear on the leaderboard, because everyone's text is different and the scores would not be comparable.
