FAQ
Quick answers to common questions about the Vietnamese Typing Speed Test.
It shows you a random Vietnamese passage — from short lines about tea and the park to Hard ones with quotes, times and amounts — and measures your words per minute and accuracy until you finish or the timer runs out.
Yes — you type Vietnamese directly, in its own Latin-based spelling with tone diacritics included, the same way you'd type any other language here.
Vietnamese uses extra diacritics on top of the Latin alphabet to mark six distinct tones — since a different tone can completely change a word's meaning, those marks are typed directly (commonly via an input method like Telex) rather than being optional.
Use a Vietnamese input method such as Telex or VNI, available on Windows, macOS and phones. In Telex you add letters such as s, f, r, x or j after a word for the tones, so tieengs becomes tiếng.
Yes. A letter with the wrong tone, or with no tone mark at all, is a different character — ố instead of ổ counts as an error.
Vietnamese can combine a vowel mark with a tone mark on one letter — ê with the acute tone becomes ế, for example. Each combined letter is a single character, so it counts once towards your WPM.
No. WPM is worked out from the finished characters on screen, not the keys you pressed, so tiếng counts as five characters however many keystrokes Telex needed to build it.
