Questions, answered plainly.

Yes. Every lesson, course stage, custom-text session and timed paper is free. There is no paid tier and no account requirement.

No. Practice works immediately in the browser. Progress is stored locally on your device rather than on a server, so there is nothing to sign up for.

It uses the standard Nepali Unicode Romanized direct-key layout, where each key is one Devanagari character or sign and Shift selects the second sort. It is the layout commonly used for Lok Sewa typing practice, not a phonetic spelling converter or an auto-correcting transliteration tool.

No. Transliteration tools often rewrite your spelling and suggest words. This app scores the exact key sequence you press against the standard mapping, so practice transfers to a timed exam. The live preview shows what your accepted keys produce, but it does not silently correct a wrong key.

WPM uses the standard five-characters-per-word convention: accepted characters divided by five, then divided by elapsed minutes. Accuracy is accepted characters divided by accepted characters plus errors. A wrong key counts as an error even though it does not advance the target.

Yes. The custom practice pages accept pasted text. Nepali text is reverse-transliterated into the key sequence that would produce it; English text is typed literally. Long passages are split into manageable lines and unsupported characters are flagged before you start.

Yes. There is a separate English QWERTY course, lesson set, five-minute exam, custom-text practice and reference. English mode types literally, with the same per-character proof, WPM and accuracy scoring.

Progress is saved in your browser's local storage on the device you are using. It stays on that device and is not synced. Clearing your browser data will remove it.

The practice screen is responsive and works with an on-screen keyboard, but the lessons are designed for a physical QWERTY keyboard. For exam preparation, a desktop or laptop keyboard is strongly recommended.

No. NepaliType is an independent practice tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Public Service Commission, Lok Sewa Aayog or any examination authority. Paper formats and scoring conventions are described for practice purposes only.

Most beginners see the layout stop consuming attention within two to three weeks of short daily practice. Speed then improves more slowly. Twenty focused minutes a day is more effective than one long weekly session.

The app itself needs local storage to remember your progress and theme. Advertising and analytics scripts are optional and are not loaded until you consent. See the privacy and cookie pages for details.
