I mean, it's an interesting one and I proved myself one more time that my reaction time is still pretty terrible.

Looks cool :)

typing tests

How can I say... My Android keyboard is probably lacking the proper dictionary and is probably less reactive than the native app installed by default. Not sure this test can be accurately (even professionally) tested on any device :/.

Even a typing test on a keyboard is odd. My grandma surely gonna fail this test and not because she's old, but because she doesn't know where the different keys/letters are placed on the keyboard.

Or am I missing something here?

I think using the dictionary is cheating here.

That's weird. When I install keyboards I don't notice slowdowns but rather improvements due to the mainstream solutions being extremely bloated.

But that's what the test is about. It's not about how fast you can press keys. It's about using your key position knowledge.

This is an ego fluffer app, not a scientific study. The accuracy is "good enough" to give you a rough idea of your performance, and if youre really into optimizing WPM, give you a way to track progress or the impacts of using different keyboards.

Getting a high score doesn't actually mean anything except you probably use your phone too much.

Nice! I like the Human Benchmark website. Where do you take user stats from? The app is nice but would be cool if it supported dark theme and maybe material you colors. The blue and white is hard on my eyes
