Typing posture check
Check visible wrist, elbow, shoulder and head position while typing. Works with your phone camera, laptop camera, or webcam. It runs entirely in your browser and the camera feed never leaves your device.
Prop your phone at desk height for front checks, or turn it sideways for side-view posture scans. Same test, same URL, no app.

This check reads your typing risk from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (< 20). The model maps the joints involved and averages the angle so a single fidget doesn't skew your result.
How to read your result
Green means you're inside the healthy range. Amber means you're drifting and it's worth a small adjustment. Coral means the angle is past the comfort line for long enough to cause strain. Your number updates live, so you can watch a fix land in real time.
What to fix first
- Adjust the one input driving the biggest signal — screen height, chair depth or input distance.
- Re-run the test and watch the meter move before you change anything else.
- Set a reminder so the corrected posture becomes the default, not the exception.
When to use WorkPose Pro
One test reads one signal. If you want this checked continuously — combined with posture, eye strain and fatigue, with live nudges and a progress history — that's what Pro does. It turns a one-off number into a habit that holds.
How this check works
- The pose model runs in the browser and camera data stays on your device.
- The check compares wrist height against elbow height and looks for obvious shoulder or head drift.
- The result is a keyboard ergonomics prompt, not medical advice.
How to use your result
- Wrist height high: lower the keyboard or raise the chair so wrists sit closer to elbow height.
- Shoulders lifted: move keyboard and mouse closer before continuing.
- Hands not visible: adjust the camera view or use the full posture scan instead.
Why typing posture changes
Long typing sessions can pull wrists up, shoulders forward, and the head toward the screen.
How to use the check
Place your camera so shoulders, elbows, and wrists are visible. Run the check while typing naturally, not while posing.
What WorkPose Pro adds
A member session can watch posture while you actually work and nudge changes when the pattern returns.
Common questions
What does the typing posture check look for?
It looks at visible wrist height, elbow height, shoulder level, and a simple head-position proxy while you type.
Why do my wrists need to be visible?
The tool compares wrists and elbows. If your hands are outside the camera frame, the typing-specific signal is weaker.
What should I change first?
Bring the keyboard and mouse closer, keep wrists closer to elbow height, and relax both shoulders before continuing.
