Why this test matters

Touch typing in Spanish is meaningfully different from English. The accented vowels and the ñ require dead-key combinations on QWERTY layouts, which slow most typists down 5–10 WPM until the muscle memory clicks. The test below uses common Spanish words with their accents and ñ, so it measures the speed you'd actually reach in Spanish.

Frequently asked questions

What's the average typing speed in Spanish?
Native Spanish typists average 35–50 WPM, slightly lower than English averages due to longer average word length.
Do I need a Spanish keyboard layout?
Not strictly — accents work via dead keys on US-International QWERTY, but a Spanish ISO layout is faster once trained.
Does the test include accents and ñ?
Yes. The word list includes á, é, í, ó, ú and ñ, and each letter must be typed exactly, accent included.
