The Website is designed to help you practice typing speed, typing accuracy and finger placement. You should use it only for its intended purpose: typing practice, learning and other purposes supported by its features.

Typing results can be different in each practice session. Your device, browser, keyboard, typing technique, practice time and the text you choose can all affect your results.

• Attempt to hack, overload, disrupt or damage the Website, its servers or its networks
• Try to access accounts, data or parts of the Website that you are not authorized to access

Website Content

The text, lessons, practice passages, code samples, typing tests, games, keyboard and hand graphics, design, logo and other content on the Website are provided for general information and typing practice.

You may use the content for your own personal typing practice and learning. If there is a problem or issue with any content or feature on the Website, please let us know through the contact page.

Content and features may change over time. Some lessons, practice texts, games or other content may be updated or removed when needed.

Intellectual Property

The Website and its original content, features and design are owned by Keyboard Typing Practice or used with permission. They are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

The name "Keyboard Typing Practice", the logo and the look of the Website may not be used without our written permission. Nothing in these Terms gives you any ownership of or rights to our content, except the limited right to use it for personal practice.

Personal Use of Website Content

You may use the typing lessons, practice texts and tests to practice your own typing skills. You must not:

• Copy, reproduce or republish Website content on another website, app or product
• Modify, sell, license or distribute Website content
• Use Website content to create a competing typing practice service
• Remove any copyright or ownership notices

This applies to all Website text, lessons, practice passages, code samples, games, graphics and other original materials. If you want to use any content beyond personal practice, please contact us for written permission first.

Typing Practice and Tests

The Website provides a typing test and typing practice to help you build your typing skills. Results can include:

• WPM (words per minute): correct characters divided by five, divided by the minutes you typed
• Accuracy: how many characters you typed correctly
• True accuracy: counts every character you typed wrong at least once, even if you corrected it

Results show your performance in one session only, and are provided for practice purposes. Your speed and accuracy may change in another session. Your device, keyboard, browser, typing technique, practice length and the text you choose can all affect your results.

We do not guarantee any specific typing speed, WPM, accuracy level or improvement from using the Website.

Practice Categories and Practice Texts

The Website offers practice categories for Data Entry, Jobs, Students, IELTS and Coding. All practice texts are written for typing practice only.

• Data Entry: numbers, symbols, codes and spreadsheet formulas are sample data for practice.
• Jobs: job applications, professional emails, office documents and customer support replies are examples. Names, companies and details in them are fictional. They are not career advice or templates you are required to use.
• Students and IELTS: essays, academic vocabulary, paragraphs and IELTS-style passages are for typing practice. They are not official exam material.
• Coding: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java and SQL samples are for practicing symbols and syntax. They are not guaranteed to be complete, secure or suitable for real projects.

Please do not type real personal or sensitive information, such as passwords, ID numbers or bank details, into any typing area.

IELTS and Third-Party Trademarks

Keyboard Typing Practice is an independent website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to IELTS, the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia or Cambridge University Press & Assessment. "IELTS", programming language names and other product or company names on the Website are the trademarks of their respective owners. They are used only to describe the type of practice offered.

Typing Games and Practice Features

Typing games, including Keyboard Jump, Type a Balloon and Fish Typing, are part of the typing practice experience. They give you another way to practice typing. Please use the games for their intended purpose.

Game results, such as score, speed and accuracy, may be calculated differently from the typing test and may not match your typing test results.

The lessons and practice categories are designed for a physical keyboard. The typing games may also work with an on-screen keyboard. Available practice options may change as the Website is updated, and we do not guarantee that every feature will always be available or work exactly the same way on every device or browser.

Typing Results

After a typing test, lesson, practice session or game, the Website shows your results, such as WPM, accuracy, true accuracy, errors and practice time. If you are signed in, your results and lesson progress may be saved to your account.

Typing results are based on your performance in that session. They are not a permanent measure of your typing ability and are not an official typing certificate. Employers, schools or exam bodies may not accept them as proof of your typing speed.

You can use your results to understand and track your typing practice. We do not promise any specific result or improvement from continued use of the Website. We are not responsible for the loss of saved results caused by technical problems, account deletion or changes to the Website.

Leaderboard

The Website does not currently have a public leaderboard. If we add one in the future, it will show results recorded by the relevant Website feature. A leaderboard position will reflect only that recorded result. It will not guarantee a user's overall typing ability or future performance.

We may remove leaderboard results that we believe were achieved using automated tools, cheating or other unfair methods. We do not guarantee that leaderboard information will always be available, complete or free from technical issues.

Advertising

To keep the Website free, we may display advertisements, including ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising partners. Ads may use cookies as described in our Privacy Policy.

When using the Website, you must not:

• Click on ads artificially, repeatedly or for any reason other than genuine interest

Device and Browser Use

The Website can be used on different devices through a supported web browser. Your experience may differ depending on your device, keyboard, screen size, browser and settings. The same typing test may not feel exactly the same on different devices or browsers.

You are responsible for using a suitable device, keyboard and up-to-date browser to access the Website. Not every feature may work well on every device and browser. If the typing test or another feature does not work correctly, the cause may be your device, browser, internet connection or the Website.
