Dutch Typing Test
Measure how fast you type in Dutch. The test draws from a curated pool of everyday Dutch vocabulary, so you practise the words you actually use.
This Dutch typing test works exactly like the main typing speed test, but the word pool is Dutch: common verbs, nouns, connectors and everyday vocabulary, all drawn at random so no two runs are the same. Your score is reported in WPM (words per minute) and accuracy, calculated the same way across every language so results stay comparable.
Dutch uses the plain Latin alphabet, so there are no accents to hunt for — a standard US or Dutch QWERTY keyboard is all you need. Dutch is known for long compound words like "arbeidsvoorwaarden" and for the ij, ui and ch letter combinations, so the test is a good workout for steady rhythm on longer words. Pick a time mode from 15 seconds to 10 minutes, or switch to word mode, and start typing — there's no account and no ads.
Dutch typing test — frequently asked questions
How is the Dutch typing test scored?
It counts every correct character you type, divides by five for an average word length, then divides by the minutes elapsed to give your WPM. Accuracy is correct keystrokes over total keystrokes. The formula is identical for every language, so your Dutch score and your English score mean the same thing.
Do I need a Dutch keyboard layout?
No. Dutch keyboards use the standard QWERTY layout, and the word pool uses only plain letters, so any normal keyboard works.
What is a good typing speed in Dutch?
About 40 WPM is average for an adult typing in their own language. 60–70 WPM is fast and 90+ WPM is professional level. Dutch words are a little longer than English ones on average, so raw WPM can land slightly lower for the same effort.
Is the Dutch typing test free?
Yes, completely. No account, no email, no ads. Your best score is saved in your own browser, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to submit to the leaderboard.
