Type. Learn. Memorize. The original mobile typing speed metric, reloaded for the modern era.
iTextSpeed allows you to discover just how quickly you can type on mobile, with custom challenges and leaderboards.
The modern smartphone is the most powerful communication tool in human history, yet our interface with it remains bottlenecked by a single mechanical constraint: our thumbs. When you write an email, text a colleague, or draft a note, the speed of your thoughts is limited by the speed at which your fingertips can hit virtual glass keys. This relationship between cognitive intent and physical output is what we call communication bandwidth.
Mobile typing relies on the thumbs moving across a flat glass grid. Because there are no physical borders, your brain must build a precise spatial coordinate map in your motor cortex. iTextSpeed acts as a training coach to optimize this bottleneck. By treating mobile typing as a discipline of muscle memory, it helps you communicate with less friction and higher efficiency.
Autocorrect acts as a crutch that degrades your muscle accuracy. iTextSpeed benchmarks raw, unassisted typing performance.
Test your speed with real-time speedometers, using custom packages containing speeches, realistic punctuation, and sentences.
Connect with a global community of mobile typists. Compare your scores on global leaderboards and unlock achievements as you pass WPM targets.
iTextSpeed is a native iOS utility built for efficiency. Featuring a compact 16MB file size, it launches instantly and runs smoothly with zero system lag.
We believe that utility software should respect your attention and your data. iTextSpeed collects no personal identifier information, requires no active network connections to run, and stores your speed history locally on your hardware. It is a focused tool built to serve as your personal typing coach.
