Software to test Typing Speed

[Bisujaksha]

Actually, my typing speed is very slow and wanna increase the speed of my typing. I know this can be possible by repetitive typing practice, but I am not able to detect the typing speed. I want to know the exact speed so that I can understand the level of improvement.
Is there any application that will help to test my typing speed?
Any suggetions and recommendations will be highly appreciable..

If you're looking to boost your typing speed and accuracy, TypingMaster Typing Test can provide the repetitive practice you need.
Just don't expect this freeware program to give you any coaching. In a typical session, you might start with the rudimentary (and rather dull) warm-up games and move on from there to the full-blown typing tests. TypingMaster offers only one kind of testing method--retyping a set text--though you can break up the monotony by supplying your own TXT files.
The program can store results for several users and track their progress over several tests.
At the end of each test, the program gives a brief performance evaluation, though we wish it also gave custom-tailored advice based on our typing patterns.
Unfortunately, that feature is restricted to the for-pay version.
