Typing Speed Test in Terminal

Mitype is a program to test (and hence improve) your typing speed right from the ease of your terminal.

Written completely in python with no external dependencies!

✨ Main Features

• 🖥️ Cross-platform
• 🎦 See your replay
• 🐍 Supports Python 2 and 3
• 📝 Choose custom text input
• 🅰️ 6000️ text samples
• 🌈 Colored texts

🔧 Install

Mitype can be easily installed by:

pip install mitype

If you are on windows, you'll also need windows-curses:

pip install windows-curses

📈 Usage

Once installed, you can run it simply as:

mitype

You can also customize each run by specifying the following options as:

• -f FILENAME, --file FILENAME
  Uses contents of file as sample text.
• -d N, --difficulty N
  N can be in range [1, 5] with 1 being the easiest. This decides the length of the text.
• -i ID, --id ID
  ID can be in range [1, 6000].

You can quit mitype anytime by pressing the ESC key or CTRL-C. While in replay mode, you can quit by pressing CTRL-C only.

You can also directly run on repl.it in your web browser although, the latency is pretty high.
