Raavi is the Unicode Gurmukhi font that ships with Windows, and InScript is the standard keyboard layout used to type it. When a Punjab recruitment notification asks for Punjabi typing "in Raavi font", this is the combination it means: the text goes into the document as real Unicode Gurmukhi, so it can be searched, copied and opened on any computer without a special font.
InScript was designed by the Government of India as one layout for every Indian script, and it shows. Vowel signs sit under the left hand and consonants under the right, in the traditional alphabet order, so a typist who already knows Hindi InScript finds most Punjabi letters on the same keys. The differences are the Gurmukhi-only signs: the tippi and bindi for nasal sounds, the addak that doubles the next consonant, and the subjoined forms of ਰ, ਹ and ਵ.
Those signs are where most practice time should go. The tippi (on X) and the bindi (on Shift+X) look small, but every one you miss is a wrong word, and the addak (Shift+4) has to be typed BEFORE the consonant it doubles. The subjoined letters have keys of their own on the shifted number row, which is quicker than building them with the halant.
This test maps your ordinary QWERTY keys to Raavi InScript, so you do not need to change your system keyboard or install anything. The key positions were checked against the Windows Punjabi keyboard driver itself.
Three pages is the longest test on 91Typing and it is unapologetically demanding. This is not a benchmark you take casually — it is an endurance trial, closer to a real working session than to a speed check, and it will expose anything unreliable in your technique. If a weakness exists in how you type, three pages will find it.
What makes it valuable is precisely that it cannot be faked. Short tests can be carried by concentration and adrenaline; over three pages, those run out and what remains is whatever your hands do automatically. Typists who have genuinely internalised touch typing hold a steady pace throughout. Typists who still glance at the keyboard, or who rely on a few strong fingers to compensate for weak ones, watch their speed and accuracy decay page by page. That decay curve is the most honest diagnostic available anywhere on the site.
Use it as a periodic assessment rather than routine practice — perhaps once a fortnight, or as a final rehearsal before a data entry examination. Taking it more often trains tiredness rather than skill. The productive pattern is to run it occasionally, note exactly where your performance degraded and which keys the errors clustered around, and then spend the following weeks on targeted drills for those specific weaknesses before testing again.
Take the ergonomics seriously at this length. Sustained typing sessions of this duration, repeated regularly with poor posture, carry a genuine risk of repetitive strain. Keep wrists straight and floating, shoulders relaxed, feet flat, screen at eye level, and take a proper break afterwards rather than going straight into another attempt. If you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your hands, wrists or forearms, stop — that is a signal to rest and, if it persists, to seek medical advice rather than to push through.
Raavi is the font and InScript is the keyboard layout. Recruitment notices that say "Punjabi typing in Raavi font" mean Unicode Gurmukhi typed on the InScript layout, which is what this test uses.
Not where the notice specifies Raavi. Asees and Anmol Lipi are older non-Unicode fonts with a different key arrangement, so practice on them does not carry over to an InScript exam.
The tippi ੰ is on X, the bindi ਂ on Shift+X and the addak ੱ on Shift+4. Type the addak before the consonant it doubles, as in ਪੱਕਾ.
Yes. Both are InScript, so most letters sit on the same keys. You mainly need to learn the Gurmukhi-only signs and a few letters that differ.
No. The test converts your QWERTY keys to Raavi InScript in the browser, and modern systems already include a Gurmukhi font to display the text.
It suits candidates preparing for data entry examinations, working transcriptionists, and anyone who wants an honest measure of sustained typing ability. Beginners are better served by the 1-minute and 3-minute tests until a steady technique is established.
Roughly once a fortnight, or as a final rehearsal before an exam. It is demanding enough that frequent attempts train fatigue rather than skill. Use shorter tests and targeted drills for regular practice.
It usually means your typing is not yet fully automatic, so sustaining it consumes conscious effort that runs out. Structured touch-typing lessons and weak-key drills address this far more effectively than repeating long tests.
For most people an occasional long run is fine, but repeated long sessions with poor posture carry a real risk of repetitive strain. Keep your wrists straight and floating, take proper breaks, and stop immediately if you feel tingling, numbness or pain — see a doctor if it persists.
Look at where your performance degraded and which keys your errors clustered around, rather than at the headline WPM. Those two details tell you exactly what to drill over the following weeks, which is what actually moves your score.
