Ukrainian Typing Test

Ukrainian writes an apostrophe inside words — з’їсти, м’ясо, п’ять — where it marks that the preceding consonant stays hard. It is orthography, not punctuation, and a word without it is misspelled.

So the test scores it like any letter. Skip it and you accrue errors, which is the correct outcome: it is the single character Ukrainian writers most often leave out, and the one dictation drops almost every time.

The scoring engine segments by grapheme cluster rather than Unicode code point. For Bengali or Tamil that is the difference between a meaningful score and a meaningless one. For Ukrainian it changes almost nothing, since Cyrillic is essentially one code point per character.

What it does buy you is the per-character error breakdown. Finishing a run knowing that і, ї and ґ are where your accuracy went is more useful than a single percentage — those four letters are exactly the ones that separate Ukrainian from Russian.

Gross WPM is characters divided by five, per minute; net WPM subtracts errors per minute, clamped at zero; accuracy is correct over total. All computed at the end from a log of what you produced.

One, three or five minutes, common words or paragraphs, finishing early allowed. Results stay in your browser. On a phone the Ukrainian keyboard drills teach the layout, which is the part that transfers.
