aPython GUI based user Authentication using Typing Speed Test

The goal of this paper is to create a Python based user-friendly typing speed test with user authentication. It utilizes the Tkinter, Time, Random and RegEx libraries. Tkinter is used to create an interactive GUI. Users are presented with a randomly selected sentence of moderate to complex difficulty, consisting of 30-50 words which must be entered accurately to measure typing speed. The time library is used to measure the total time elapsed while typing and the regex library measures the number of words in the sentence. This allows us to measure the user’s typing speed in words per minute (WPM). There is also a feature which detects if a bot is attempting the test. This paper also explores the uses of the typing speed test program in real life settings and its significance. In conclusion, the typing speed test made using python acts as a practical tool to measure typing proficiency and prevent the use of unfair means to get a higher speed.
