Mangal is the Unicode Devanagari font that ships with Windows, and InScript is the government-standard keyboard used to type it. Marathi typed this way goes into a document as real Unicode text, so it can be searched, copied into email and opened on any computer without a special font - which is why GCC-TBC centres and most Maharashtra government offices use it.

InScript places vowel signs under the left hand and consonants under the right, in alphabet order. Marathi uses the same Devanagari keyboard as Hindi, so a Hindi InScript typist already knows most of it; the Marathi-specific letters are on Shift: the La (Shift+N) and the eyelash Ra used in words like shetkaryanna (Shift+J). Marathi also ends sentences with a full stop, typed on the full-stop key, not a danda.
Conjuncts are built with the halant key (d): type the first consonant, halant, then the second, and the browser joins them. The most common ones - ksha, tra, dnya and shra - have shortcuts on the shifted number row.
This test maps your ordinary QWERTY keys to InScript in the browser, so you do not need to change your system keyboard or install a font.
A one-minute typing test is the quickest honest answer to "how fast do I type?" You get a passage, sixty seconds on the clock, and a words-per-minute figure the moment the timer stops. It is short enough to take on a coffee break and repeat five times in a row, which makes it the natural starting point if you have never measured your speed before.
What a single minute actually measures is your burst speed — how fast you type when you are fresh, focused and have not yet felt any fatigue. That is genuinely useful information, but it is worth knowing that almost everyone scores highest on the one-minute test and lower on every longer one. A typist who hits 55 WPM over a minute might settle at 45 WPM over ten. Neither number is wrong; they are measuring different things. Treat your one-minute score as your ceiling, not your working pace.
For that reason the one-minute test is best used as a daily habit rather than a final verdict. Take it once before you start practising to warm your hands up, and once after, to see whether the session moved anything. Because the sample is small, a single run bounces around a lot — an unfamiliar word or one bad backspace can swing the result by several WPM. Run it three times and take the middle score if you want a number you can trust.
Watch accuracy as closely as speed here. Over sixty seconds, a handful of uncorrected mistakes drags your net WPM down sharply, because the error penalty is spread across so few words. Typists who slow down by ten percent and stop making errors almost always end up with a higher net score than typists who race and correct. If you are choosing one thing to fix, fix the errors first — speed follows accuracy far more reliably than the reverse.
