  • Real Vietnamese passages with full tone marks and vowel diacritics, typed through Telex, VNI or any other Vietnamese input method
  • Tone marks must match exactly, so a wrong or missing tone counts as a mistake
  • Easy lines like Con mèo ngủ trên ghế sofa cả ngày. come first; Hard adds a quotation, 9 giờ 30 and an amount of 1.059,32 đô la
  • 1, 2 or 5 minute timers keep loading new Vietnamese text, so you can see how tone placement affects your speed over a longer run
  • Pasting is blocked and each letter turns green or red as you type, so a wrong tone on a single vowel is flagged right away

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

What does the Vietnamese Typing Speed Test do?

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.

Do I type Vietnamese directly, with tone marks?

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.

Why does Vietnamese have so many accent marks?

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.

How do I type Vietnamese tone marks?

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.

Do the tone marks have to match exactly?

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.

Why do some letters carry two marks?

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.

Do Telex's extra keystrokes count against my 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.
