Why practise on emails
Office, administrative and customer service jobs involve writing emails all day. Emails mix greetings, names, dates, prices and stock phrases such as "Please let me know" and "Thank you for your patience". Practising on this kind of text builds speed on exactly the phrases you will type most, and gives a realistic score for job applications.
About the texts
Every email was written for TypingSpark: meeting changes, refunds, welcome messages, reminders and follow-ups. Names and companies are fictional. Timed tests add new emails as you go, so you never run out of text.
How the score is calculated
A "word" is five characters, spaces and punctuation included. Net WPM is your gross speed minus one word per minute for every error you leave uncorrected, and accuracy is the share of all your keystrokes that were right, including mistakes you fixed. The timer starts on your first key. Read the full formulas.
Questions
What speed do office jobs ask for?

Are the emails real?
No. They were written for practice; all names and details are invented.
