About

About the Italian Typing Speed Test

Type real Italian passages, written with the Latin alphabet and a nearly phonetic spelling system where each letter almost always maps to the same sound, and get your words-per-minute and accuracy the moment you finish.

Italian speakers use it to check their speed before a job or public-sector typing test, and learners use it to practise accented endings like à, è and ù in real sentences.

Guide

Using the Italian Typing Speed Test

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Choose Easy, Medium or Hard — Hard adds euro prices, times like 18:00 and elisions such as l'ho — then set no limit or a 1, 2 or 5 minute timer.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Click directly on the Italian passage text and start typing — there's no separate text box.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Watch grave accents and apostrophes; a wrong one turns red, and the clock starts on your first keystroke.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    When you finish or time runs out, check your Italian WPM and accuracy, then load a new passage or save a certificate labelled with the level and "Italian".

  • Real Italian passages with accented vowels, typed exactly as the Italian or US-International layout produces them
  • Accented letters must match exactly, so è and e count as different characters
  • Easy lines like Il gatto dorme sul divano tutto il giorno. come first; Hard adds a quotation, 1.059,32 € and elisions like l'ho
  • 1, 2 or 5 minute timers keep loading new Italian sentences — useful practice before a concorso or job typing test
  • Pasting is blocked and each letter turns green or red as you type, so an e for è, or a missing apostrophe in un po', is flagged straight away

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the Italian Typing Speed Test.

What does the Italian Typing Speed Test do?

It gives you a random Italian passage — from everyday lines on Easy to Hard ones with euro prices, times and quotes — and reports your words per minute and accuracy when you finish or the timer you chose runs out.

Is Italian spelling easy to predict while typing?

Yes, largely — Italian uses a nearly phonetic spelling system where each letter almost always maps to the same sound, which makes it more predictable to type than languages with more irregular spelling.

How do I type è, à, ù and ì?

On an Italian keyboard these letters have their own keys. On US-International, ` then e gives è, ` then a gives à, ` then u gives ù and ` then i gives ì.

Do I have to use the grave accent, as in è and più?

Yes. Accented letters are separate characters, so typing e instead of è — or an acute é — counts as an error. The passages use grave accents on è, à, ù and ì.

Do I need to type apostrophes like l'ho and po'?

Yes. Elisions such as l'ho and truncations such as po' include an apostrophe, and it counts as a character. A curly ’ and the straight ' key are treated the same.

Which test length gives the most reliable result?

Two or five minutes. A one-minute test is quick, but a single slip affects it more; longer tests average out pauses and show the speed you can actually sustain.
