Does the live indicator show if I'm beating my record?

Yes. A live gap indicator updates with every keystroke, showing whether you are ahead, behind, or even with your previous best run, along with your current and target WPM.

Can Ghost Racing help me type faster?

Racing your own best run gives you a concrete, personal target instead of an abstract average. You can see precisely where your pace drops and focus your practice on beating your own record, which is one of the most effective ways to build typing speed.
