Why this test matters

Italian typing speed lands close to English averages because Italian words tend to be similar in length and the accent layout is well-positioned for muscle memory. Native Italian typists average 40–55 WPM. There's no significant offshore typing-labor market for Italian (unlike Portuguese or Spanish), so most Italian typing tests target students, professionals, and government clerical applicants. The test below uses the v1 English corpus; native Italian content arrives in v2.

Frequently asked questions

What's the average Italian typing speed?
40–55 WPM for native Italian typists, similar to English averages.
Is Italian typing different from English typing?
Mostly the accents. The QWERTY ITA layout has dedicated keys for à, è, é, ì, ò, ù — much smoother than QWERTY-US dead keys.
Do Italian government jobs require typing tests?
Some, especially clerical and court roles. Required speeds typically range from 30–50 WPM.
