The "Type Faster" project is a simple Python script that automates typing on the Human Benchmark typing test available at https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/typing. It uses the Selenium and PyAutoGUI libraries to retrieve the test content and simulate typing, allowing you to test your typing speed effortlessly.
Before you can run the script, you need to install the required dependencies. You can install them using pip:
pip install selenium beautifulsoup4 pyautoguiMake sure you also have the Chrome WebDriver installed. You can download it from here.
-
Clone the repository or download the script to your local machine.
-
Ensure you have the required dependencies installed as mentioned in the "Dependencies" section.
-
Open the script (typically named
type_faster.py) in a text editor of your choice. -
Modify the script if needed. You may want to adjust the URL or customize the timing.
-
Run the script using Python:
python type_faster.py-
The script will open a Chrome browser, load the typing test, retrieve the text to type, and simulate typing it. It will wait for 400,000 seconds (approximately 4.6 days) by default, which can be adjusted in the script.
-
After running the script, sit back and watch it type the text for you. It will measure your typing speed automatically.
You can customize the script by modifying the following parameters:
url: Change this variable to the URL of the typing test you want to automate.time.sleep(): Adjust the sleep duration to control the time the script waits before simulating typing.time.sleep(400000): Change this line to adjust the duration of the typing test. By default, it waits for 400,000 seconds, but you can set it to any desired duration.
