seconds
No clock and no score while you type. Just the words and the sound of your keyboard. Stop whenever you like.
Zen is the plainest mode on Presspace. Words keep coming, there is no timer and no goal, and the speed counter stays hidden. Type for thirty seconds or thirty minutes, then press Esc when you have had enough. A summary waits for you afterwards if you want it, but nothing on screen pushes you while you type. Punctuation and numbers can be switched on from the options row, and the words follow whichever of the six languages you have chosen.
Flow goes further. Instead of a word list, you type a few calm passages back to back, drawn from the same pool of real writing as the quote test. Lanterns drift slowly across the background, a soft ambient pad plays underneath, and each word you get right rings a small bell. It is meant to be typed slowly. Turn your sound up, or put headphones on.
Pick one thing to pay attention to per session: loose wrists, proper reaches to the number row, or using the opposite Shift. Slow, correct repetitions are what build a habit. Blind mode, which hides mistakes while you type, pairs well with Zen if you want to learn to trust your fingers.
When you are ready to measure again, the 1 minute typing test is waiting. The typing lessons give relaxed practice some structure, and the touch typing guide explains which finger owns which key.
Zen gives you an endless stream of words with no timer and nothing on screen but the text. Flow adds atmosphere: calm passages of real writing, lanterns drifting behind the text, a soft ambient pad and a gentle bell for each word you get right.
Nothing is shown while you type. When you press Esc to stop, you get a summary of the run like any other test, and you are free to ignore it if you came to relax.
Yes. Typing without pressure is the best time to work on form: hands on the home row, eyes on the screen, the right finger for each key. Habits practised slowly and calmly carry over when the clock comes back.
