Instructions

  1. Select your Hindi keyboard on the right. Choose “My computer’s Hindi keyboard” if you already use Google Input Tools or Windows Hindi.
  2. Remington Gail: type ि (f) before the consonant, as on a typewriter – it is placed correctly automatically. Half letter + ा (k) makes the full letter.
  3. The passage is shown on the screen. Type it in the typing box exactly as given – including capital letters, punctuation and spaces.
  4. Copy, paste, auto-correct and spell-check are disabled, as in the real exam.
  5. Your result is calculated with exam-style full and half mistakes when you submit or when the time ends.
  6. The test fills the whole screen and is keyboard-only: the mouse and page scrolling are disabled until it ends.

Inscript or Remington Gail – which should I learn?

Inscript is the Government of India standard: vowels on the left hand, consonants on the right, and it is the same on every Indian-language keyboard. It is easier to learn from scratch. Remington Gail follows the old Hindi typewriter and is preferred by typists trained on Kruti Dev. If you already know Kruti Dev, choose Remington; otherwise Inscript is usually the better long-term choice. Full key charts are in the Hindi typing guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I type Hindi without installing any software?

Yes. Choose “Built-in Inscript” or “Built-in Remington Gail” on the start screen and type on your normal English keyboard – TypingPrep converts your keys to Unicode Hindi.

Which Hindi layout is used in government exams?

Most computer-based exams accept Unicode Hindi (Mangal) with either the Inscript or Remington Gail layout. SSC and many central exams allow both; some state exams name a specific layout or font such as Kruti Dev – check your notice.

How is Hindi typing speed counted?

For Hindi, TypingPrep counts actual words typed per minute, because Unicode Devanagari characters do not map one-to-one to key depressions.

Is Remington Gail the same as Kruti Dev?

The Remington Gail layout places Hindi letters on the same keys as the Kruti Dev typewriter font, but produces Unicode text (Mangal) instead of legacy font codes.
