About

About the Turkish Typing Speed Test

Type real Turkish passages using the Latin alphabet plus letters not found in English (ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, ü), with spelling that closely follows pronunciation, and get your words-per-minute and accuracy the moment you finish.

Turkish speakers use it to check their speed on the Turkish Q layout, and learners use it to practise the dotted and dotless i, ğ and ş until they become automatic.

Guide

Using the Turkish Typing Speed Test

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Choose Easy, Medium or Hard — Hard has TL amounts and suffixes after numbers, like 18:00'den — then set no limit or a 1, 2 or 5 minute timer.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Click directly on the Turkish passage text and start typing, special letters included — there's no separate text box.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Watch the dotted and dotless i, ğ and ş; a wrong one turns red, and the timer begins with your first keystroke.

  4. 4

    Step 4

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

  • Real Turkish passages with ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş and ü, typed exactly as the Turkish Q or F layout produces them
  • Dotted i and dotless ı are checked as different letters, just as Turkish spelling requires
  • Easy lines like Kedi bütün gün koltukta uyur. come first; Hard adds a quotation, 09:30'da with its apostrophe suffix and 1.059,32 TL
  • 1, 2 or 5 minute timers keep loading new Turkish sentences, so you can check your speed on Q or F over a longer stretch
  • Pasting is blocked and every letter turns green or red as you type, so i in place of ı, or s in place of ş, is flagged at once

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

What does the Turkish Typing Speed Test do?

It shows you a random Turkish passage — everyday lines on Easy, longer sentences on Medium and Hard ones with TL prices and times — and reports your words per minute and accuracy when you finish or your timer runs out.

What are the extra letters in Turkish, like ı and ğ?

Turkish adds ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş and ü to the Latin alphabet — note that dotless ı is a distinct letter from dotted i, both of which appear correctly in the passages here.

Is Turkish spelling harder to predict than English?

Generally no — Turkish spelling closely follows pronunciation, so once you know the extra letters, reading and typing it is more phonetically consistent than English.

How do I type ğ, ş and the dotless ı?

Use the Turkish Q layout built into Windows, macOS and phones: ğ and ü sit right of P, ş and i right of L, ö and ç right of M, and ı is on the key where English keyboards have I.

Are I and İ different letters?

Yes. Turkish has dotted İ/i and dotless I/ı as two separate letters, so typing i where the passage has ı — or I instead of İ — counts as an error.

Why is there an apostrophe after numbers, as in 09:30'da?

Turkish attaches case suffixes to numbers and proper names with an apostrophe, so 09:30'da means "at 09:30". The apostrophe is part of the passage, so type it.

Do curly quotes and dashes need to match?

No. Curly quotes and the different dash characters are treated the same as the plain ' " and - on your keyboard. Turkish letters, though, must match exactly.
