# About

Monkeytype is a minimalistic and customizable [typing test](https://www.monkeytype.com). It features many test modes, an account system to save your typing speed history, and user-configurable features such as themes, sounds, a smooth caret, and more. Monkeytype attempts to emulate a natural typing experience during a typing test by unobtrusively presenting the text prompts and displaying typed characters in place, providing straightforward, real-time feedback on typos, speed, and accuracy.

# Features

- minimalistic design, with optional advertisements and focus mode while typing
- type what you see, see what you type
- live errors, wpm, and accuracy displays
- a variety of test lengths and languages
- punctuation and numbers modes
- quotes
- themes
- smooth caret
- account system
- challenges and just-for-fun test modifiers
- and much more

# Discord bot

On the [Monkeytype Discord server](https://www.discord.gg/monkeytype), we added a Discord bot to auto-assign optional roles based on typing performance and challenge completion. You can find its code over at https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype-bot.
