Typing Turkish on your keyboard
Most Turkish typists use the Q keyboard, a QWERTY with keys of its own for ğ, ü, ş, i, ö and ç. The F keyboard, designed for Turkish, puts the most used letters under the strongest fingers. Windows includes both, as Turkish Q and Turkish F, and both type this test.
Dotted i and dotless ı are two letters in Turkish: on a Q keyboard the I key types ı and the key right of L types i. On a keyboard without them, plain letters count: type i for ı, s for ş and g for ğ.

Getting faster in Turkish
Your speed, accuracy and best here are Turkish numbers, kept apart from any other language. After a test, practice in Turkish finds the letters that slow you down and builds its text around them. The score is counted as in the main typing test, which explains how.
Frequently asked questions
Should I take this test on a Q or an F keyboard?
Whichever you type on every day. The words and the score are the same for both, and your numbers here don’t know which layout you used, so if you switch, your best stays from the old one.
How do I set my keyboard to Turkish?
On Windows 11, open Settings, then Time & language, then Language & region, and add Turkish. 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 Turkish. Control and Space switches between them.

Can I compare my Turkish 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 4.5 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.
