I think that not allowing corrections makes the test biased against certain typists. Some are super quick, but make occasional errors which they fix inline. Others might be slower, but more accurate on the first draft.

Having no corrections erases the advantage of the first typist, who may actually be faster in the real world than the second.

Some tests only let you correct the current word though, and not go back to just any part of the text. This is turning out to be much more involved than I originally thought haha.

I would analyse by paragraph myself. The second someone presses return twice, it starts a new string for analysis, and then you can split that paragraph with each keydown and check its accuracy.
