No countdown. No auto-stop. Type for as long as you want.
Most typing sites start a countdown the moment you press a key. That is useful for measuring speed, and terrible for learning technique — a ticking clock makes you rush, and rushing bakes in the exact bad habits you're trying to fix.
TypeCrt's Zen mode removes the timer entirely. There's no countdown, no word target, and no automatic stop. The session ends when you decide it ends.
Open TypeCrt, pick zen from the mode bar, and start typing. No signup, no ads.
Start Untimed Practice →No clock in the corner, no time pressure, no session ending mid-sentence.
Text continues generating indefinitely. Type ten words or ten thousand.
You end the session with a keystroke whenever you're ready.
Net and raw words per minute still calculate continuously as you type.
Per-keystroke accuracy and consistency are measured throughout.
End the session and get the complete breakdown — same analytics as a timed test.
Untimed practice isn't always the right tool. Switch to a timed test when you want to:
The effective pattern is both: untimed practice to build the skill, timed tests to measure it.

Yes — net WPM, raw WPM, accuracy and consistency all calculate continuously, with a full breakdown when you finish. Removing the timer changes when the session stops, not what's measured.
