Description:
Instead of just counting matching characters, we calculate edit distance (insertions, deletions, substitutions).
Accuracy is based on how close the user's input is to the original passage.
Instead of blindly counting words, we count correctly typed words using word-level comparison.
🔍 Improvements Explained
✅ 1. More Accurate WPM Calculation
We count correctly typed words instead of just total words typed.
It ensures that errors impact the WPM calculation.
✅ 2. Better Accuracy Using Levenshtein Distance
The edit distance accounts for extra/missing characters.
The formula:
Accuracy=(Max Length−Edit Distance/Max Length)×100
