How the Hindi typing test works

  1. Pick the time and the text

    Choose 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes, and Easy, Medium, Hard or Office text. You can also paste your own text.

  2. Set up your keyboard

    On a phone, switch your keyboard to Hindi. On a computer with only an English keyboard, keep "InScript keys" on: the K key types क, J types र and so on. You can also show the Hindi keyboard on the screen and tap its keys.

  3. Start typing

    Tap the box and type the text shown above it. The clock starts with your first letter. Words you type right turn green and wrong ones turn red.

  4. Read your result

    When the time is up or you finish the text, you see words per minute, accuracy, the right, wrong and skipped words, and the words you got wrong.

Why practise here

Words per minute and key depressions

You get both numbers that Hindi typing tests use: words per minute, and key depressions per hour (KDPH) for the exams that count keys.

A skipped word is one mistake, not twenty

If you skip a word or add one, the words after it still line up with the text. Only that one word counts against you.

Type Hindi from an English keyboard

InScript is the standard Hindi layout on computers. With "InScript keys" on, every key of your English keyboard types the Hindi letter it has in InScript, and the keyboard on the screen shows where each letter is.

Texts for every level

Easy sentences, topic paragraphs, hard words with joined letters, and office text such as a letter or a notice.

Your own text

Choose "My text" and paste a paragraph from your exam practice book to test yourself on it.

Private and free

The test runs in your browser. What you type is not sent to a server, and there is no sign-up.

Tips to type Hindi faster

Questions

Is this Hindi typing test free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
How do I type Hindi in this test?
Three ways. On a phone, switch your keyboard to Hindi (on Gboard, tap the globe key). On a computer, turn on "InScript keys" and type with your English keyboard: for example K types क, and Shift + K types ख. Or turn on "Show the Hindi keyboard" and tap the letters with the mouse or your finger.
What is InScript?
InScript is the standard keyboard layout of India for Hindi and the other Indian scripts. Every letter is on the same key on every computer, so you can type Hindi with it even if no Hindi keyboard is installed. In Windows it is called "Hindi Traditional".
How is my speed counted?
Words per minute is the number of words you typed right, divided by the minutes. A word is whatever is between two spaces. Accuracy is the right words divided by the right, wrong and skipped words. Key depressions per hour (KDPH) counts the keys of the right words and the space after each, worked out for one hour.
What if I skip a word or type an extra one?
It counts as one mistake. The test lines your words up with the text, so the words after the mistake are still marked right.
What counts as a mistake?
A word that is not exactly the word of the text: a wrong letter, a missing vowel sign, a missing dot under a letter, or a comma or danda that is missing from the end of the word. Spaces are not counted.
Does it test Kruti Dev or Remington?
No. This test is for Unicode Hindi (the Hindi you type in a Mangal-style font and on a phone). It does not test the old Kruti Dev font and its Remington layout.
Can I use my own text?
Yes. Choose "My text", paste a paragraph (up to 1,000 words) and tap "Use this text". Pasting is blocked in the typing box itself, so the test stays fair.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Use the Hindi keyboard of your phone, or show the Hindi keyboard on the screen. Chrome and Safari both work.
Is what I type saved or sent?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Only your best speed for each test length is kept on your own device, so that you can beat it. The site counts how many tests are finished, without any of your text.
What speed is good?
It depends on the exam. Typist posts ask for about 15 to 35 words per minute in Hindi, depending on the post, but the notice of your exam is the only rule that counts. As a guide: under 10 is a start, 20 to 30 is good, and over 40 is very fast.
