Typing Speed Test Bot
This utility automates keyboard typing to simulate high-speed data entry. It is designed to type text from a string or file into any active text field (like a browser-based typing test) at a specified Words Per Minute (WPM) rate.
Modules Used:
- pyautogui: To simulate keyboard presses.
- argparse: To handle command-line arguments.
time: To handle delays and countdowns.
Installation
pip install pyautoguiThe Code
Save this as type_bot.py.
import pyautogui
import time
import argparse
import os
import sys
def type_text(text, wpm, start_delay):
# Safety feature: Drag mouse to corner to stop
pyautogui.FAILSAFE = True
# Calculate interval based on WPM
# Standard word = 5 characters
# Interval = 60 seconds / (WPM * 5 characters) = 12 / WPM
if wpm > 0:
interval = 12 / wpm
else:
interval = 0 # As fast as possible
print(f"Target Speed: {wpm} WPM (Interval: {interval:.4f}s)")
print(f"Starting in {start_delay} seconds...")
print(">> SWITCH TO YOUR TARGET WINDOW NOW <<")
try:
for i in range(start_delay, 0, -1):
print(f"{i}...", end=" ", flush=True)
time.sleep(1)
print("\nGO!")
# Type the text
pyautogui.write(text, interval=interval)
print("\nFinished typing.")
except pyautogui.FailSafeException:
print("\nFail-safe triggered from mouse corner. Stopped.")
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("\nStopped by user.")

type_text(content, args.wpm, args.delay)Usage
-
Prepare your text: Copy the text you need to type into a file (e.g.,
text.txt) or have it ready as a string. -
Run the script:
# Type from a file at 120 WPM python type_bot.py text.txt --wpm 120 # Type a short phrase instantly (0 delay between keys) python type_bot.py "The quick brown fox" --wpm 0 -
Focus: Immediately click on the text box in the target application (e.g., browser) before the countdown ends.
