Editorial Standards

Every quantitative claim is traced to a primary source before publication wherever one exists. Where the underlying research is public, we link directly to the paper, the dataset or the issuing body rather than to an article summarizing it, and every external link is checked to confirm it resolves before it goes live.

Large-sample typing research is cited in preference to smaller studies, and we name the sample size and the method in the text or in the figure caption so you can weigh it yourself. Figures shown in tables and charts carry a source line stating where the numbers came from and what they do and do not cover.

A number with no traceable origin is treated as an unsourced claim and labeled as one, even when it is widely repeated. Several well-known typing statistics fall into this category, and the articles say so plainly instead of passing them on.

Where the evidence is genuinely contested, we say that rather than picking the more quotable side. Where a conclusion is our inference from evidence rather than a measured result, it is described as an inference. Where a claim rests on a single study, the article says so.

Some articles publish measurements we made ourselves rather than figures drawn from elsewhere. When they do, the article states what was measured, over what corpus or sample, what was excluded and why, and what the result does not establish. Methodology decisions that materially change a headline number are stated in the article rather than left in a footnote.

These measurements are first-party: they come from the software and the data this site actually runs on. That makes them reproducible in principle and narrow in scope, and the articles are explicit about the limits.

A small number of articles compare this site to other typing tests or describe how they score. Those descriptions reflect the products as configured at the time of writing, are marked as such, and are re-checked whenever the article is revised. Defaults on other sites change, and a stale comparison is a wrong one.

We do not publish claims about a named product that we have not checked, and we do not present a competitor unfavorably to make a point.

Some articles touch on discomfort, strain and injury. These are literature reviews, not medical advice, and they are written to reflect what the research supports rather than what is commonly assumed. Where the evidence is weaker than the popular belief, the article says so.

Nothing on this site is a diagnosis or a substitute for professional medical advice. If you have persistent pain, numbness or weakness, see a clinician.

Each article shows the date it was published. An updated date is shown only when the text was genuinely revised — we do not restamp articles to make them look fresh, and an article with no update date has not been materially changed since publication.

The Typing Hub carries no advertising, no affiliate links, no sponsored placements and no paid product recommendations. Nothing on this site earns a commission when you click it, and no company has paid to be mentioned, included or excluded.

The typing test is free to use and does not require an account. Signing in is optional and exists only to save your results across devices. There is no paid tier. The project is funded by its operator.

Articles are researched, drafted and edited with the help of software tools. Factual claims are checked against primary sources and external links are confirmed to resolve before an article is published. Editorial responsibility for everything here rests with The Typing Hub, not with any tool used to produce it.

When we find a factual error, we fix it. Corrections are made to the article itself rather than issued separately, the revision date on the article is updated so the change is visible, and where a correction changes the meaning of a claim the article explains what the earlier position was and why it was wrong.

Claims that turn out to be unsupported are removed or downgraded rather than quietly softened. Where a correction affects more than one article — a figure repeated in several places — every affected article is updated in the same pass.

If you believe something here is wrong, please tell us. Email contact@thetypinghub.com with the page and the specific claim, and a source if you have one. We would rather be corrected than be consistent.

The Typing Hub is an independent project, not a company with a marketing department, and it has been running since July 2026. More about what it is and how it operates is on the about page. For how your data is handled, see the privacy policy.
