Typeman

A terminal‑based typing-speed test CLI tool that shows real-time feedback, WPM, and accuracy in a beautiful, live interface built with Typer and Rich.

✨ Why Typeman?

• Live-color feedback: correct keystrokes turn green, mistakes in red
• Custom cursor highlights typing position
• Uses a built-in 10k word list for realistic, daily vocabulary
• No external dependencies beyond Python packages
