Japanese Typing Test - 2 Minutes

The 2-minute Japanese typing test gives you a more reliable speed reading than a 1-minute sprint, because your fingers have time to warm up and settle into a natural rhythm past the initial adjustment period. This test uses Romaji input throughout, so you type standard English letters that map to Japanese sounds. No IME software or Japanese keyboard layout is required. Two minutes is long enough to encounter a wider variety of Romaji sequences including double consonants like 'kko' and 'tte', which are common in everyday Japanese vocabulary. Beginners typically score 20-35 WPM, while intermediate users land between 45 and 60 WPM on this duration. Run this test a few times back-to-back to track how consistent your speed is across attempts. For a deeper benchmark, move up to the Japanese typing test 5 minutes.
