Hindi Typing Test in the Browser: Mangal, Kruti Dev and Custom Text

Government typing exams in India (SSC, state clerk, court exams) often test Hindi typing in Mangal (Unicode/Inscript) or Kruti Dev layouts. Most free practice sites only support English, so I built a browser-based typing test that covers all three.

What it does

  • English, Mangal and Kruti Dev modes
  • Custom text: paste your own passage or upload a .txt file and start testing immediately
  • Long practice paragraphs, so text doesn't run out even in a 15-minute test
  • WPM, accuracy and error highlighting
  • Everything runs client-side; your text never leaves the browser

Why custom text matters

Exam passages have their own vocabulary (official notices, legal terms). Practising with a passage from a previous paper is far more useful than random sentences.
