programs off your computer. Everything can be

a numeric keypad. PadSpeed will generate a
series of random numbers within a range you
specify. You can choose to type the numbers on
the numeric keypad at your own pace, or use a
preset time limit. As you type the numbers,
PadSpeed will record the time, total number of
digits and numbers entered. It will then display
the number of digits and numbers typed per
minute and compute the percentage that were
correct.
