WPM (Words Per Minute) is a program created by Eatoni for scientifically computing your typing speed on the iPhones or iPads built-in keyboard. If you think youre fast, heres your chance to prove it.
Each test invites you to type three short phrases, selected at random from a set of 500 phrases compiled by MacKenzie and Soukoreff 2003 specifically for testing text entry systems. You may test yourself as often as you like.
Your personal best scores can be posted to Twitter. This allows you to easily track your own progress and to compete with others, as the top scores get into the WPM Leaderboard.
Latest reviews of WPM - Measure Typing Speed and Accuracy app for iPhone and iPad
Very basic speed test
Portrait mode only - does not support landscape (bigger keyboard). Does provide stats with autocorrect on and automatically calculates speed with autocorrect off.

doesnt support landscape
Core functionality works well, but doesnt work in landscape mode. Option not available, otherwise, its very simple and easy to use.

Needs Improvement...
I was prepared to have nice little records of my typing speed... When Twitter appeared. Not like I hate Twitter or anything, but I just dont want to make an account... Which means I cant use this app. As well as this, the interface (upon downloading the app) asks you if you wish to Allow or Deny this application access to post the results of your WPM test on your Twitter page. If you press Allow, of course, it will allow it. If you press Deny, it says it will not post anything from this application... And then you have to restart the app. Its nothing much, but... The one customer who writes a review... Is displeased.

Lets you compare your results to other people on Twitter
Posting to twitter not only makes it easy to keep track of your own progress, it also lets you see how others are doing, which is motivational. (Search for the hashtag #wpmiphone.) But youre not forced to post your scores to twitter, so Im not sure what the other people are complaining about. The app does what it says: it gives you a scientific measure of your typing speed.
