Portuguese Typing Test

Type common Portuguese words, accents included, and get your WPM and accuracy the moment you finish. Accented letters count as their own characters, so the test measures real Portuguese typing.

Before you start

Test setup

  • 551 common Portuguese words
  • Accents: á, à, â, ã, é, ê, í, ó, ô, õ, ú and ç
  • 10 to 100 words per run
  • WPM plus accuracy

How to take it

  1. Click the test area and start typing; the clock starts on your first key.
  2. Type accented letters as they appear: á, à, â, ã, é, ê, í, ó, ô, õ, ú is not the same character as the plain letter.
  3. Choose 25, 50 or 100 words before you start to change the length.
  4. Fix mistakes with Backspace; corrected errors still count in accuracy.

How scoring works

WPM uses the standard five-character word. An accented letter typed with a dead key counts as one character, the same as any other letter.

About the portuguese test

The Portuguese test uses TypePlay's list of 551 common Portuguese words, written for typing practice. Typical words: de, a, o, que, e, do, da, em. Longer ones include obrigado, professora, primavera, desculpa.

Typing Portuguese accents

Brazilian (ABNT2) keyboards have a dedicated ç key and dead keys for the acute, tilde and circumflex, so ã is tilde then a. Portuguese (Portugal) keyboards also have ç and dead accent keys in slightly different places. On US-International, use ~ then a for ã and ' then c for ç.

Why practise in your own language

Typing speed is partly memory: your fingers learn the letter patterns of the words you type most. Practising in Portuguese trains those patterns directly, so the speed you build carries over to the emails, essays and messages you actually write.

Tip for a cleaner run

The tilde in ã and õ is the accent most often missed. Slow down on words like não and são until the dead key becomes automatic.

Portuguese typing test: common questions

Do I need a Portuguese keyboard for this test?

No. A Portuguese layout makes accents quicker, but any keyboard works with an international layout such as US-International, where accents are typed as a dead key followed by the letter.

Do accents count as mistakes if I leave them out?

Yes. A plain letter where the word has an accent is a different character, so it counts as an error. That keeps the score honest for real Portuguese typing.

Is Portuguese typing slower than English typing?

A little at first, because accents add keystrokes and the word patterns are new. With practice most bilingual typists get close to their English speed.
