German Typing Test
The German typing test lets you measure and improve your typing speed using real German words. The test loads a German word list, so you practise the vocabulary, spelling and character patterns you actually use in the language.
German features umlauts (ä, ö, ü), the ß character and famously long compound words, which makes it excellent practice for accuracy and rhythm. Whether you are a native speaker or learning German, typing with the right word list builds far more useful muscle memory than practising in a language you do not write in.

Do I need a German keyboard?
