About FinType
Practice the work, not filler words.
FinType is a focused typing platform for the vocabulary, figures, and formulas used in modern finance.
Metrics in plain language
- Net WPM
- Correct characters ÷ 5 ÷ elapsed minutes.
- Raw WPM
- All typed characters ÷ 5 ÷ elapsed minutes, before mistake deductions.
- Accuracy
- Correct keystrokes divided by correct plus incorrect keystrokes.
- Consistency
- A coefficient-of-variation score over the per-second raw WPM series.
- Signature accuracy
- Separate accuracy for letters, digits, and symbols so finance-specific weaknesses stay visible.

Streaks and daily rules
A local streak day requires one completed, non-aborted test of at least 15 seconds or 25 words. Streaks use your local calendar; the Daily Challenge uses UTC. A current streak continues when the last qualifying day is today or yesterday. The first completed Daily attempt for a UTC date is recorded; later retries are for practice.

FAQ
Why Tab then Enter?
Tab arms a deliberate restart without stealing focus from navigation. Enter confirms it; Shift+Tab remains normal browser navigation.
Why is my WPM different from another site?
FinType uses net characters divided by five, elapsed test time, and its own finance-heavy content. Raw WPM does not subtract mistakes.
Is my data stored online?
Not yet. Completed tests, settings, and profile totals stay in this browser. Prompt 5 adds an optional account-backed repository.
