A minimalist, distraction-free typing challenge that helps you practice typing speed while engaging with Scripture.
- 📖 Fetches random scripture passages for typing practice.
- 📊 Tracks typing speed (WPM) and accuracy.
- ⌨️ Live, character-by-character visual feedback directly in the passage text.
- 🔄 Allows resetting the challenge or fetching a new passage.
As a web developer, improving my typing skills is basically sharpening my proverbial axe. I wanted a simple way to warm up my fingers for the day and get more efficient at typing; the stats create a little competition with myself to get better over time. Now there are plenty of great typing practice sites out there but that gets me to my second motivation.
As a Christian, any time spent with scripture is time well spent. It can be challenging to get in front of the Word as often as I should, so this app provides a fun and interactive way to engage with scripture daily. It's a little more than just reading, it's just one way of interacting with the Word through typing and memorization.
I hope this project serves you well and brings you closer to the Word.
Accuracy = Correct Characters on First Attempt1 / Total Characters
WPM = (Number of Characters / 5) * Accuracy / (Time in Minutes)
1Accuracy is calculated based on whether each character is typed correctly on the first attempt; corrected mistakes still count as incorrect for accuracy purposes.
Scripture passages are fetched from the Free Use Bible API. Text is used for educational and personal practice purposes.
