The product
Turbo Type measures how fast and how accurately you type. A 30-second timer starts on the first key press, and every letter is marked right or wrong as you type a stream of random words. When time is up you see your accuracy, errors, characters typed and words per minute. A contests page lets you compete with friends, and accounts use email sign-up or Google sign-in.
