Keyboard shortcuts & accessibility

The typing prompt is mirrored into accessible DOM text while the visual board remains optimized for fast rendering.

Core keyboard controls

  • Tab: move through controls.
  • Space: advances naturally when a word is complete.
  • Ctrl + Shift + P: announce the current word and upcoming words.
  • Ctrl + Shift + S: announce remaining time, WPM, and accuracy.
  • Escape: close the intro video when open.

Screen readers

The test exposes a synchronized text prompt and a polite result summary. It avoids announcing every character because that can overwhelm speech output.

Touch screens

Tap the typing area after choosing language, level, and duration. The timer begins on the first printable character, not when the page opens.

RTL and Arabic

Arabic typing uses right-to-left content while the FingerWPM wordmark remains left-to-right so the brand name does not visually reverse.

Shortcut conflicts

If a browser, extension, or assistive application already uses a shortcut, use the visible result metrics instead and report the conflict through the feedback page.
