To take a speed test, click the Test tab in the toolbar and click the Tests button or select Tests->Start Speed Test.

You can calculate your typing speed over a fixed duration. You can either pull down the list to select a standard duration or enter a custom duration between 1 and 59 minutes.

Select the duration and click "Start". The source text will be selected either randomly or from a list of imported tests.

When the test is complete, the results will be displayed in the task dialog.
