Scored by grapheme cluster, so a letter and its marks count as the one character you actually typed. Use your own Tamil keyboard or our on-screen keyboard.

Check your Tamil typing speed in 1, 3, or 5 minutes. ஒன்று, மூன்று அல்லது ஐந்து நிமிடங்களில் உங்கள் தமிழ் தட்டச்சு வேகத்தைச் சரிபார்க்கவும்.

Tamil is one of the world's oldest living languages, official in Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, and Singapore. Its script has no aspirated consonants, so phonetic typing maps several English sounds to one Tamil letter — for loanwords, Grantha letters like ஜ and ஷ are used.

On a phone?

A touchscreen will not build typing speed, but it will teach you the layout. The Tamil keyboard drills practise where each Tamil script letter sits, a few taps at a time.

Frequently asked questions

How is Tamil typing speed calculated?

Gross WPM is every character you typed divided by five, per minute. Net WPM subtracts your errors per minute, and accuracy is correct characters out of everything you typed. Characters are counted the way Tamil script is actually written — a letter with its vowel signs and marks is one unit, not several.

Does the test handle Tamil script marks correctly?

Yes. The test compares whole written units (Unicode grapheme clusters), so a base letter and the marks attached to it count once. Text typed in a different but equivalent Unicode form still matches, which is why a correct answer is never marked wrong on a technicality.

Which Tamil keyboard do I need?

Any of them. Type with your phone or computer's own Tamil keyboard, or with our on-screen keyboard — the test scores the Tamil text that arrives, not the keys you pressed to produce it.

Is it free? Do I need to sign up?

Completely free, no account needed. Your text is processed in your browser and autosaved locally — nothing is uploaded to our servers.

Can I use the Tamil text in WhatsApp, Gmail, or Word?

Yes. The output is standard Unicode Tamil, which works everywhere — WhatsApp, social media, Gmail, MS Word, Google Docs, and official documents.
