SarkariResultHome.comTyping Test Online – Check Your English and Hindi Typing Speed
Many government posts such as clerk, data entry operator, stenographer and assistant have a typing test, and some of them keep a minimum speed as a qualifying condition. The best way to prepare is to practise a little every day and to watch both your speed and your mistakes.
This typing test gives you a fresh passage in English or Hindi, lets you choose from many lessons (key drills, numbers, and practice paragraphs), a timer from 1 to 15 minutes or no timer, backspace on or off, text size and right and wrong word marking, and at the end shows your net speed, gross speed, accuracy and the number of wrong words. The clock starts only when you press the first key.
How to use the Typing Test
- Choose the language and the time of the test. The passage appears above the typing box.
- Click inside the box and start typing. The word that you are on is highlighted, correct words turn green and wrong words turn red.
- Keep typing till the time ends or the passage finishes. Do not paste, because pasting is switched off.
- Read your result: net speed, gross speed, accuracy, wrong words and correct words. Press "Start a new test" to try another passage.
How the speed is calculated
Here five typed characters are counted as one word, which is the usual standard in typing tests. Gross speed is all the characters you typed divided by five, per minute. Net speed is the gross speed minus the wrong words per minute. Accuracy is the share of the typed words that are correct. Every recruitment board has its own rule for counting mistakes and key depressions, so use this result as practice and read the rule in your notice.
Speed that is usually asked
For some clerk level posts the notice asks for around 35 words per minute in English or 30 words per minute in Hindi, but the exact number, the time and the method of counting are written in each notification. Check yours, and then set your own target a little higher than that so that you stay safe on the exam day.
Hindi typing and the keyboard layout
For Hindi, switch your phone or computer keyboard to Hindi before you start. Hindi typing exams usually use the Inscript layout or the Remington (Gail) layout, and some exams name the layout in the notice. This page accepts whatever Hindi keyboard your device gives, so practise on the layout that your exam uses.
A simple practice plan
- Practise fifteen to twenty minutes every day rather than two hours once a week.
- First go for accuracy. Speed comes by itself when mistakes become few.
- Keep your back straight, wrists lifted a little and eyes on the screen, not on the keys.
- Take one full-length test every Sunday, with the same time as your exam, and write the result in a notebook.
- Learn the home row keys first, then the top and bottom rows, and use all ten fingers.
Frequently asked questions
Is this typing test free?
Yes, and no login is needed.
Can I take a Hindi typing test here?
Yes. Choose Hindi in the language box and type with the Hindi keyboard of your device.
Why is my net speed lower than my gross speed?
Because wrong words are taken away from the gross speed. Fewer mistakes mean a higher net speed.
Is the passage the same every time?
No. The tool mixes the paragraphs so you get a different passage in each test.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, but a real keyboard on a computer gives a better practice for an exam that is held on a computer.
