Chinese typing test

A Chinese typing test measures how fast and accurately you type Chinese text. Your result is shown in words per minute, where every 5 characters counts as one word, so every extra correct character raises your score. Typing complete Chinese sentences is the most realistic way to measure everyday Chinese typing speed.

How to improve Chinese typing

Practise with real sentences rather than isolated characters, keep your fingers relaxed over the home row, and watch the screen instead of the keyboard. Because each Chinese character carries far more meaning than a single Latin letter, accuracy matters more than raw key speed; slow down first and let speed follow.

Typing Chinese characters

Chinese is written without spaces between characters, so your fingers learn long sequences of keystrokes rather than short word patterns. Re-typing the same sentence a few times builds muscle memory for the most common characters — 的, 一, 是, 不, 了 — which make up a large share of everyday Chinese text.

Practising Chinese typing

This Chinese typing test uses natural, everyday sentences, so you practise the real rhythm of Chinese writing: clauses separated by 、 and 。, numbers in full form, and the punctuation patterns you meet in articles, chat and email. Switch between sentences, quotes and words modes above to vary your drills.
