Hindi typing practice
Practise Hindi typing with timed runs, live mistake highlighting and net WPM. Start from an English keyboard and move to Devanagari at your own pace.
Hindi typing speed test

Tap a letter to type it straight into the test box.
No Hindi keyboard layout? Leave Type in English on and write the sample the way it sounds — each word turns into Hindi as soon as you press space. Net WPM counts five characters as one word and subtracts your mistakes, the same way government typing exams score it. Nothing leaves your browser.
A practice order that works
Most people trying to learn Hindi typing give up at the same point: they install a Devanagari layout, cannot find a single letter, and go back to what they know. A gentler order is to write Hindi by sound first, using the transliteration tool, so you get used to reading your own Devanagari before you have to hunt for keys.
Once reading feels comfortable, move to the timed runs above. Start at one minute. The goal at this stage is not speed at all — it is finishing a run with accuracy above ninety per cent. Speed follows accuracy reliably; the reverse almost never happens, because a habit of guessing at keys is hard to unlearn later.
When you can hold accuracy, extend the length rather than pushing the pace. Fifteen minutes is a different skill from one minute, and it is the one examinations test.
Reading your own numbers
Mistakes are highlighted the moment you make them, which is deliberate. Finding out at the end that you mistyped a character forty seconds ago teaches you nothing; seeing it immediately lets you notice which letters you keep confusing. For most learners it is the retroflex and dental pairs — त against ट, द against ड — and the two i-matras.
Net WPM is the honest figure because it subtracts errors. If your gross speed climbs while net WPM stays flat, you are typing faster and getting more wrong, which is movement in the wrong direction. Watch the gap between the two rather than either number alone.
Nothing here is stored. Scores are not saved, no account exists and no history is kept, so the numbers you see are only for the run you just did. If you want to track progress across days, write them down yourself.
