Gujarati Typing Test
Practice Gujarati typing in Unicode using your computer's own keyboard. Live WPM, accuracy and mistake tracking, same as every test on this site.
Before you start: switch your keyboard to Gujarati
Windows: Settings → Time & Language → Language & region → add "Gujarati" → switch to it with Win + Space. Mac: System Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources → add "Gujarati". No download needed — this ships with your OS.
Before You Start
This test is ungraded practice — no fixed pass/fail line, just your real speed and accuracy in Unicode Gujarati.
- Make sure your Gujarati keyboard is active before you click Start.
- The timer starts the moment you type your first character.
- Backspace is on by default — turn it off for stricter accuracy practice.
- Copy-paste and right-click are disabled.
Best on a desktop or laptop keyboard.

Uses Your Own Keyboard, Not an On-Screen One
This test accepts whatever Gujarati Unicode text your own computer's Gujarati keyboard produces, and scores it exactly like every other test on this site: gross and net WPM, key depressions, and full/half mistake classification. If you can type Gujarati on your computer, this test works — no extra setup beyond enabling the keyboard.
How to Turn On the Gujarati Keyboard
You don’t need to install anything. Windows and macOS both ship with a Gujarati keyboard:
- Windows 10 and 11: Settings → Time & language → Language (called Language & region on Windows 11) → Add a language → Gujarati. Switch between keyboards with Win + Space.
- macOS: System Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources → add Gujarati, then switch from the menu bar.
The Gujarati keyboard uses the InScript layout: vowels and vowel signs on the left half, consonants on the right. It’s the same arrangement as the Hindi keyboard, so anyone who types Hindi on InScript can move across with little relearning.
Common Mistakes in Gujarati Typing
- Matras. Each vowel sign is its own key depression, and a wrong or missing one makes the whole word a full mistake.
- Joined letters. Conjuncts such as પ્ર and સ્ત are typed as a consonant, the halant (્) and the next consonant. Without the halant you get two separate letters.
- The anusvara (ં). It’s easy to drop at the end of a word, and the test counts it.
- ળ and લ. The two are separate letters, and mixing them up is a common slip for typists coming from Hindi.

Frequently Asked Questions
Switch your computer's keyboard input to Gujarati in your operating system's language settings, then type normally. The test box accepts whatever Gujarati Unicode text your system produces.
No. Windows and macOS both include a Gujarati keyboard layout built in — enable it in your system's language or input settings, no separate download required.
Mobile Gujarati input methods (transliteration, swipe keyboards) work differently from a desktop keyboard layout and won't give a realistic reading. Use a desktop or laptop with Gujarati enabled at the OS level.
Where Gujarati Typing Is Tested
Gujarati typing appears in state government recruitment in Gujarat — clerk, junior clerk and assistant grades among others — where a regional-language typing test is often part of the skill assessment. Requirements vary by recruiting body and by year, so treat any speed figure you read online, including anything inferred from this page, as a starting point rather than a rule. The notification for your specific exam is the only authority.
How Gujarati Typing Speed Compares
Gujarati is an abugida, like Devanagari: vowels attach to consonants as matras rather than sitting as separate letters. That means more keystrokes per word than English, so a Gujarati speed target will usually look lower than an English one while representing similar effort. Judging your Gujarati progress against your English WPM will consistently make you feel slower than you are.
Practising Effectively
- Drill matras separately. As in Hindi, most errors cluster in a small set of matra and conjunct combinations. Isolating those clears them far faster than typing more full passages.
- Keep your eyes on the passage. Looking down to find keys caps your speed permanently, and the habit gets harder to break the longer it runs.
- Build endurance late. Get accurate on short passages first, then extend the duration. Stamina built on shaky accuracy just produces longer runs of mistakes.
If you also need Hindi, the Hindi typing test uses the same engine, and the skills transfer well between the two scripts.
