TODAY Type tracks comprehensive performance metrics to help you understand your typing abilities and measure improvement over time.
Core Typing Metrics
Words Per Minute (WPM)
The standard measure of typing speed:
- Best WPM - Your highest recorded speed
- Average WPM - Your typical performance across all tests
- Recent WPM - Your average over the last 7-30 days
Accuracy
Percentage of characters typed correctly:
- Best Accuracy - Your highest accuracy score
- Average Accuracy - Typical accuracy across all tests
- Error Rate - Number of errors per 100 characters
Consistency
How stable your performance is:
- WPM Variance - How much your speed varies between tests
- Accuracy Variance - Stability of your accuracy
Training vs. Testing Metrics
TODAY Type tracks your performance separately for different modes:
Training Metrics
- Best training WPM
- Best training accuracy
- Total training sessions
- Current training streak (consecutive days)
- Total time spent training
Test Metrics
- Best test WPM
- Best test accuracy
- Total official tests
- Current test streak
- Tests completed this week/month
Why Separate Metrics?
Training mode uses personalized text based on your skill level, while Test mode uses standardized passages. This ensures fair comparison on leaderboards while still tracking your learning progress.
Chat Simulation Metrics
Response Speed
- First Response Time (FRT) - Time from customer message to your first keystroke
- Average Response Time - Mean time to complete each response
- Messages Per Minute - Overall throughput
Multi-Chat Specific
- Chats Handled - Number of simultaneous conversations managed
- Customer Wait Time - How long customers waited for responses
- Context Switches - How often you moved between chats
- Resolution Rate - Percentage of issues successfully resolved
Progress Metrics
Streaks
- Current Streak - Consecutive days with activity
- Longest Streak - Your record consecutive days
- Weekly Activity - Days practiced this week
Volume
- Total Tests - All-time test count
- Total Time - Hours spent typing
- Characters Typed - Lifetime character count
Improvement
- WPM Improvement - Increase from starting level
- Accuracy Improvement - Change in accuracy over time
- Skill Level Progress - Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced → Expert
Key Analysis Metrics
Problem Keys
Keys where you make the most mistakes:
- Most commonly missed keys
- Common substitution pairs (e.g., typing 'e' instead of 'r')
- Keys that slow you down
Timing Patterns
- Key Transition Times - How long between keystrokes
- Hesitation Points - Where you tend to pause
- Burst Patterns - Periods of fast vs. slow typing
Organization Metrics
For users in organizations, additional metrics are tracked:
- Team Rank - Your position relative to teammates
- Percentile - How you compare to all users
- Activity Level - Compared to team average
