Take the testYour camera never leaves your browser.
Face tracking runs on your device. No video, image or face data is uploaded. The camera shows as a small floating card that you can move, minimise or turn off at any time.
How is my typing speed (WPM) calculated?
Net WPM counts the characters of every correctly typed word, including the spaces between them, divides by five and then by the minutes elapsed. Raw WPM counts every character you typed, mistakes included, so the gap between the two shows how much errors cost you.
What is a good typing speed?
The average person types around 40 WPM. Above 60 WPM is fast for everyday work, and above 90 WPM is in the top few percent. Accuracy matters as much as speed: aim for 96% or better before pushing for raw speed.
What is the Cadence Index?
The Cadence Index is a single 0 to 100 score that weights six skills: speed (30%), accuracy (25%), rhythm (15%), focus (12%), stamina (10%) and composure (8%). It rewards clean, steady typing over short bursts, so it moves when your skill does.
Do I need to turn on my camera?
No. The camera is optional and only adds the attention part of the report: screen focus, keyboard glances, blink rate and head stability. Without it you still get the full typing analysis.
Is my camera video uploaded or stored?
Never. Face tracking runs entirely in your browser using an on-device model. No video, image or face data leaves your device, and nothing is stored once you close the tab.
Is cadensh free?
Yes. The test and the full report are free and need no account. You can share a test link so a friend types the exact same words, or share your result as a link.
