Privacy Information

Typing Meter analyzes your typing patterns to help you improve your typing skills. You can choose whether Typing Meter analyzes only individual key presses and keypairs (bigrams) or also full words. This setting affects your privacy.

Word Collection Off/On

Default Setting: Word monitoring is disabled by default. When Do not collect any words is selected, Typing Meter analyzes only individual keys and keypairs. No full words are stored or analyzed.

If you enable word collection, Typing Meter may store a selected number of typed words (50–2000) on your computer. These words are stored locally in your Windows user profile and are saved in random order for your privacy.

Passwords and Sensitive Text

For your safety, Typing Meter automatically ignores:

  • Words longer than 8 characters
  • Words containing numbers or special characters (for example: Secret123, Cat!Dog)

This helps reduce the risk of storing passwords or other sensitive information.

Pausing Monitoring

If you type confidential information or work with sensitive documents, you can pause Typing Meter at any time using the Pause button in the Typing Meter widget.

Data Storage and Removal

All typing data is stored only on your computer in your Windows user profile folder. Typing Meter does not send your data anywhere.

When uninstalling Typing Meter, you are asked whether you want to delete your typing data. If you choose not to delete it during uninstallation, you can remove the data manually later from your Windows profile AppData folder.

Starting Typing Meter

You can choose how Typing Meter starts when your computer restarts:

  • Start automatically: Typing Meter starts running as soon as Windows starts, without any action from you.
  • Ask before starting: You'll be prompted to choose whether to start Typing Meter each time Windows starts.
  • Do not start automatically: Typing Meter will not start automatically. You must manually launch it to use it.
