Hindi Typing Test (हिंदी टाइपिंग टेस्ट)

For most people, 15–20 WPM in Hindi is a respectable everyday speed, 25–30 WPM is good, and 35+ WPM is professional level. Government recruitment tests in India (LDC, court and secretariat typist posts, CPCT in Madhya Pradesh and similar exams) commonly ask for roughly 25–30 WPM in Hindi. Hindi WPM runs lower than English WPM for the same typist because most aksharas need multiple keystrokes — a consonant, a matra and sometimes a halant — so do not be discouraged if your Hindi score is well below your English one.

This test uses the standard convention: one word = five characters, including spaces. Every Unicode character counts — each letter, matra, half-letter (halant sequence) and punctuation mark — so typing कि counts as two characters even though it displays as one akshara. Your WPM is correct characters ÷ 5, scaled to a minute, and accuracy is the percentage of complete aksharas (grapheme clusters) you typed correctly.

Any of them. The test compares the final Devanagari text, so it works identically with InScript (the Government of India standard layout), Remington GAIL (the layout used with Kruti Dev in many state exams), phonetic/transliteration typing such as Google Input or Gboard's Hindi (ABC → हिंदी) mode, and the built-in Hindi keyboards in Windows, macOS and Android. On a phone, add Hindi in Gboard's languages; on Windows, add "Hindi" under Settings → Time & Language → Language; on a Mac, add "Devanagari" or "Hindi (Transliteration)" in Keyboard settings.

Amber means the akshara is still being composed. In Devanagari, कि is built by typing क and then the ि matra, and conjuncts like क्या take several keystrokes. Until the cluster is complete, your partial input is a valid beginning of the target akshara, so the test holds off on grading it instead of flashing it red mid-keystroke. It turns green when the full akshara matches and red only if you type something that can no longer become the right character.

This test uses Unicode Devanagari (the same encoding as Mangal font), which is what websites, phones and modern government systems use. Kruti Dev is a legacy non-Unicode font traditionally typed on the Remington layout, and some state exams still specify it. The finger skills transfer: if you practise the Remington GAIL layout with a Unicode IME here, you are training the same key positions used for Kruti Dev typing, while phonetic typists can practise their own method directly.
