Type the displayed passage in order. Backspace corrects the last character. Paste is disabled. Escape pauses. Control or Command plus Enter restarts. Leaving the input pauses the timer.
How to practise measurements and units
Copy the space between each value and its unit when it is shown. Unit case can matter: the target is the exact visible text, not an approximate equivalent. These samples do not instruct a real build or experiment. Keep the digits attached to the right label and do not convert between units.
What to check after a run
Review spaces and case alongside the number. A perfect numeric part with the wrong unit is still an inaccurate transcription.

1. Find the pattern
12 mm 2.5 cm 0.8 m 450 g 1.25 kg 750 mL 3 L 24 px 0.05 s
2. Connect the movement
Sample strip: 18.5 cm. Sample block: 240 g. Draft margin: 16 px. Practice container: 250 mL. The second strip measures 15.8 cm.
3. Apply it in context
The fictional workshop card lists a 32 mm spacer, a 0.75 m cord and a 125 g sample. The drawing note uses 48 px and 1.5 s. Copy each unit exactly as printed; the card is a typing target rather than a specification for making anything.
