REVIEWS: "I thoroughly enjoy using this app as it is fun and it's aiding in improving my skills at keyboarding. I set goals for myself by attempting to up my score at increasing my WPM. I highly recommend this app if your goal is to increase your keyboarding skills." "This is by far the best app for timing the speed of how fast you can text, it's accurate and easy to understand, and I like the design and layout of the app, defiantly deserves 5* and more people should know about it :)" "I have already learned to text faster I used to only reach 34 words per minute max and now can text 48 easily! :) This is fun and it works too!" "This app is great way to get that speed you always wanted. U can type as fast as on a computer! I would pay much more than $1 for this..... GET IT!" -Joe2one3 "Awesome app! This is by far the best app for timing the speed of how fast you can text, it's accurate and easy to understand, and I like the design and layout of the app, defiantly deserves 5* and more people should know about it :)" STORY First there was iPhone in all its glory with its magnificent capacitive touch screen which enabled typing at rapid speeds, comparable to computer physical keyboards. This gave birth to a new wave of innovation, including iTextSpeed. iTextSpeed allowed you to discover just how quickly you could type on a 3.5inch display, the results were astonishing. It shot up the charts, amazed at the ability of iPhone to keep up with lightening fast fingers, & for fingers to so quickly tap away as the words appeared on screen, incredible speeds of 89 Words Per Minute were achieved & iTextSpeed was downloaded over 500,000 times. This lead iTextSpeed to become the metric for the world's fastest typists on iPhone. DESCRIPTION: Type the words as quickly as possible don't worry about hitting every letter perfectly and watch your speeds take off to the skies! To begin type the word at the top of the screen, or in the textfield and and tap space to advance. Type as many words as you can before the timer runs out. You can set the timer to 15, 30, 60, and 120 seconds for random and slang word bundles. Word Bundles let you choose between various texts to type including: - Biblical truths - Historical speeches - US Government Documents - Vocabulary Sight words - Custom content - Allows you to set the text to something of your choosing - Many more coming soon!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: iTextSpeed at 58% against OverTake's 7%. iTextSpeed also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). OverTake's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.4 vs 3.8). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

OverTake is free to download; iTextSpeed costs $1.99 up front. OverTake sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days. iTextSpeed asks for nothing beyond the download.
OverTake holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OverTake has 20K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of iTextSpeed's written reviews are positive against 7% of OverTake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iTextSpeed ships an update every 9 months, OverTake every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
