This is a free online Hindi typing test for anyone who wants to check and improve their Hindi typing speed and accuracy. You type the Hindi words shown on the screen for the time you choose. When the timer stops, you see your gross speed, net speed, accuracy and the words you got wrong. There is nothing to download or install, and it runs in your browser.
It suits students preparing for a government typing exam, job seekers getting ready for a typing skill test, and anyone who simply wants to type Hindi faster at work. Treat it like a mock test. One score tells you very little, but ten scores over three weeks tell you exactly how you are improving.
Your result card shows gross speed, net speed, error rate and accuracy. Wrong words are marked in red, so you can see which words keep costing you marks and practise them again.
Normal mode gives you a simple speed and accuracy score. Exam mode goes one step further. It calculates your result in the styles that different government typing tests follow, such as SSC, railway and bank exams, so you get a feel for how your score may look on the real day.
Different exams score mistakes differently. Some give a fixed penalty for every mistake. Others forgive a small share of mistakes and count only the extra ones. Exam mode lets you try both styles, and both are explained below with examples.
Hindi words are not all the same length, so a typing test cannot just count them. It uses a fixed standard instead. Every 5 characters, including spaces and punctuation, count as one word. This makes the Hindi typing speed test fair for everyone.
| Term | Formula | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Gross speed (GWPM) | (Total characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes | How fast you typed, ignoring mistakes |
| Error rate | Wrong words ÷ minutes | How many words per minute you lose to mistakes |
| Net speed (NWPM) | GWPM − error rate | Your real speed |
| Accuracy (%) | Correct words ÷ total words × 100 | How clean your typing is |
You take a 3-minute test and type 450 characters, with 6 wrong words.
Notice what happened. You typed at 30 WPM but your real speed is 28. Every mistake takes away from your score, which is why accuracy matters so much.
Many tests sort errors into two groups, because a missed word is worse than a small slip inside a word.
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Full mistake | A word you skipped, a word you added, or a word replaced by a different word |
| Half mistake | A missing or extra space, a spelling slip inside a word (a letter missing, repeated, added or wrong), a wrong capital letter, or a wrong or missing punctuation mark |
In half-mistake scoring, two half mistakes usually add up to one full mistake. The exact rule depends on the exam.
Here each full mistake costs you a fixed number of words, commonly 10. This style is often talked about in bank-type typing tests.
Example: you type 1,200 characters in 5 minutes, with 2 full mistakes and 4 half mistakes.
In this style, mistakes up to 5% of the total words are ignored, and only the extra ones count. It is often talked about in SSC-type tests.
Example: you type 2,400 characters in 10 minutes. That is 480 words, so gross speed is 48 WPM. The forgiven limit is 5% of 480, which is 24 words.
Some exams do not work this way and may disqualify you above a mistake limit instead. Check your notification.
Before you practise, find out which font and layout your exam uses. Practising on the wrong one is a common and expensive mistake.
| Font | Common layout | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Kruti Dev 010 | Remington | Older non-Unicode font. Often seen in state-level exams. Needs to be installed and the keyboard stays on English. |
| DevLys 010 | Remington | Works like Kruti Dev. Many exams name it next to Kruti Dev. |
| Mangal | Inscript or Remington Gail | Unicode font that comes with Windows. Often used in computer-based tests. |
Whatever you choose, stay with it. Switching between Remington and Inscript halfway through your preparation can cost you weeks. If your exam uses Kruti Dev, keep Caps Lock off, because it changes the letters that appear.
Finger position is the same as in English. Rest your left fingers on A S D F and your right fingers on J K L ;. Both thumbs stay on the space bar. Use all ten fingers, and return to this home row after every key. Keep your back straight, your elbows bent at about 90 degrees, and your wrists level. Do not rest your elbows on the keyboard.
This is the biggest one. Looking down feels faster at the start but caps your speed later. If you cannot stop yourself, cover your hands with a thin cloth or a sheet of paper.
A fast test with many mistakes gives a low net speed. Slow down until your mistakes drop. The speed comes back on its own and stays.
Keep your eyes two or three words ahead of your fingers. Your typing becomes smoother and your rhythm stays steady.
The wrong words on your result card are where your marks leak. Type each one ten times slowly, then take a full test again.
Five minutes of easy typing works better than jumping straight into a timed test with cold fingers.
Thirty minutes every day beats three hours once a week. Typing is a muscle skill, so it needs regular, short practice.
Write your speed and accuracy in a notebook after each test. Seeing the numbers rise keeps you going, and a stall becomes easy to spot.
A keyboard with soft, even keys makes long practice easier on your fingers. If possible, practise on the same kind of keyboard you will use in the exam.
Many people see their speed rise quickly at the start and then get stuck somewhere around 30 to 40 WPM. This is called a plateau, and it happens in most skills, not just typing.
It happens because your fingers now know the basics. Practice turns into autopilot, and the same small mistakes repeat. More hours do not fix it. Practising differently does:
Give this one or two weeks. Most people break through when they practise with a clear goal for each session.
| Week | What to do | Daily time |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Learn the home row and the finger positions. Do not look at the keys. | 20 minutes |
| Week 2 | Add the top and bottom rows and all matras. Type short common words. | 30 minutes |
| Week 3 | Half letters, Shift letters and punctuation. Start a 5-minute test daily. | 30 to 40 minutes |
| Week 4 | Full-length tests, weak-word drills and a written score log. | 40 minutes |
On the last day of every week, take one full-length test at your exam’s real duration and compare it with last week’s score.
Many exam notifications ask for something in the range of 25 to 35 WPM in Hindi, but the number changes with the post and the exam. Always read the latest official notification for your own exam.
Most tests count every 5 characters (spaces included) as one word. Gross speed is the words typed divided by the minutes. Net speed is gross speed minus your errors per minute.
Gross speed (GWPM) counts everything you typed, right or wrong. Net speed (NWPM) subtracts your mistakes, so it shows your real, usable speed.
It depends on your exam. State-level tests often use Kruti Dev or DevLys with the Remington layout, while many computer-based tests use Mangal with Inscript. Practise on the exact font and layout named in your notification.
With 30 to 40 minutes of daily practice, most beginners learn the keys in 3 to 4 weeks. Building speed and accuracy after that takes a few more months of steady practice.
Nervousness, unfamiliar words and the speed plateau are the usual reasons. Take the test regularly, so it starts to feel normal, and work on the words you get wrong.
Yes, as practice. Exam mode lets you try scoring styles similar to those used in different exams. Real exams have their own rules, so always follow the official notification.
Not in one sitting. Keep the chart beside you and practise a little every day. Your fingers learn the keys by repetition, not by staring at the chart.
Pick a timer, choose your layout and take your first test. Do not worry about the score. Your first result is only a starting point. Take the test again tomorrow and keep a note of your progress. In a few weeks, the difference will be easy to see.
