Typing Vietnamese on your keyboard
Vietnamese letters carry marks for vowels and tones, so nearly everyone types through an input method. In Telex, aa makes â, aw ă, ee ê, oo ô, ow ơ, uw ư and dd đ, and s, f, r, x and j add the tones. Number-key input does the same with digits. Windows includes both, as Vietnamese Telex and Vietnamese Number Key-based.
Both work here, and so does typing without marks: with plain letters counting, nguoi is accepted for người. Each word in the test is a syllable, as Vietnamese is written.

Getting faster in Vietnamese
Your speed, accuracy and best here are Vietnamese numbers, kept apart from any other language. After a test, practice in Vietnamese 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
Do Telex and number keys count differently here?
No. The test looks at the letter that arrives, and speed counts characters of the finished text, so the extra keystrokes of Telex or number keys cost you time the same way they do in real typing.

How do I set my keyboard to Vietnamese?
On Windows 11, open Settings, then Time & language, then Language & region, and add Vietnamese. 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 Vietnamese. Control and Space switches between them.

Can I compare my Vietnamese 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 3.3 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.
