Typing Persian on your keyboard
Windows includes two Persian layouts, Persian and Persian (Standard). The text and the caret run from right to left, and letters join by themselves as you type.
پ, چ, ژ and گ are Persian letters that Arabic keyboards lack. Arabic ي and ك count for Persian ی and ک here, because some keyboards still type them. The test leaves out words that need the half-space, such as میشود.

Frequently asked questions
Is Persian the same as Farsi?
Yes. Farsi is the name of the language in Persian itself. The words here are the ones most common in Persian text online, so Dari and Tajik typists will find some differences.
How do I set my keyboard to Persian?
On Windows 11, open Settings, then Time & language, then Language & region, and add Persian. Hold the Windows key and press Space to switch keyboards. On a Mac, open System Settings, then Keyboard, then Text Input, choose Edit, and add Persian. Control and Space switches between them.

Can I compare my Persian speed with my English speed?
The counting is the same: five typed characters are one word, so 60 WPM means 300 correct characters a minute in any language. The words here average 3.5 letters, against 4 in the English test. Your two numbers will still differ, because how well you know a language’s words and letter patterns matters as much as your fingers. Each language keeps its own best, so you always compare like with like.
Where do the words in this Persian test come from?
