About
About the Hindi Typing Speed Test
Type real Hindi passages in the Devanagari script — where letters connect along a horizontal head-line (shirorekha) and vowels attach as diacritics around consonants — and get your words-per-minute and accuracy the moment you finish. Pick easy, medium or hard passages to match your level.
Candidates for government jobs that include a Hindi typing skill test use it to rehearse under a 1, 2 or 5 minute timer, and office staff, data entry operators and content writers use it to check their everyday Devanagari speed.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions about the Hindi Typing Speed Test.
What does the Hindi Typing Speed Test do?
It picks a random Hindi passage in Devanagari — from short everyday lines to Hard sentences with prices and phone numbers — and measures your words per minute and accuracy until you finish or the timer you set runs out.
Do I type Hindi directly, in Devanagari script?
Yes — you type Hindi directly, in its own Devanagari script, the same way you'd type any other language here.
What makes Devanagari different to type than the Latin alphabet?
Letters connect along a horizontal head-line (shirorekha) and vowels attach as diacritic marks around consonants rather than standing as separate letters, which this test shows and expects exactly as a Devanagari keyboard would produce it.
Which keyboard layout should I use for Hindi?
Any layout that produces Devanagari works, because the test only checks the characters you type. InScript is the standard layout built into Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, and phonetic input that turns Latin keystrokes into Devanagari works too. If you're preparing for an exam that requires a specific layout, such as Remington, practise with that one.
Is this the same as a Krutidev or Remington exam test?
No. Those exams often rely on legacy fonts and their own scoring rules, while this test checks Unicode Devanagari only. Use it to build speed and accuracy, and practise with your exam's required setup as well.
How are Hindi characters counted for WPM?
Every five characters count as one word, where a character is one visible letter cluster — so a consonant with its vowel sign, like कि, counts once even though it takes more than one keystroke.
Do I need to type the nukta in words like रोज़?
Yes. Words such as रोज़ and तेज़ are written with the nukta dot, so leaving it out makes that letter count as an error.
Are Devanagari digits (०–९) used?
No. Numbers such as 9:30, 4829 and 1,059.32 are written with the standard 0–9 digits, so you type them from the normal number row.
