I built a Text Speed Tester (typing, reading, speaking) — and it changed how I think about “speed”

Most people think “speed” = typing fast.

I used to think the same.

So I built this:

But while building it, I realized something:

Speed isn’t just typing.

It’s actually 3 different skills:

• Typing speed → how fast you write (WPM)
• Reading speed → how fast you understand text
• Speaking speed → how fast you communicate ideas

All measured in the same unit: words per minute (WPM)

That changed how I see productivity.

You can type 80 WPM…
but if you read slowly or explain poorly, you still feel “slow”.

Interesting part:

• Average typing speed is ~38–40 WPM

• Reading speed is ~250–350 WPM for most people

• Speaking speed varies, but also measured in WPM using voice tools

So improving just one doesn’t fix the full picture.

That’s why I combined all 3 in one simple tool (no login, no friction).

👉 Open → test → close

Now I’m curious:

Which one do you think matters more in real life — typing, reading, or speaking?

Because honestly… I’m starting to think reading speed is the real bottleneck.
