Usage

Note: toipe was only tested on Linux. If you find any problems, please open an issue.

Install

From GitHub

Go to the latest release, scroll down to "Assets" and download the correct file for your platform (.zip in case of Windows and Mac OS, .tar.gz in case of Linux). Unzip the file and run the binary inside.

From Cargo

Alternatively, if you have the cargo tool (part of the Rust toolchain) installed on your system, you can use:

cargo install toipe

Run typing test

toipe looks best on a nice terminal (such as Alacritty) with color and style support.

If installed through GitHub, run the binary directly:

./binary-name-here

If installed through cargo, use:

toipe

Show less or more text

To change the number of words shown in each test, use the -n flag (default: 30):

toipe -n 10

toipe -n 100

Use a different word list

By default (in versions >0.1.1), a list of top 250 English words is used and random words are selected from it.

To use the OS provided word list instead (default in versions <=0.1.1), use:

toipe -w os

Note: the OS word list varies a lot from system to system and usually has more than 100,000 words. This can lead to difficult and esoteric words appearing in the test, reducing your typing speed.

You can provide your own word list too (TODO: requirements and assumptions of wordlist):

toipe -w /path/to/word/list
