Understanding Your Performance Metrics (ඔබගේ කාර්ය සාධන ප්‍රමිතික තේරුම් ගැනීම)
To improve your typing speed (ටයිප් කිරීමේ වේගය), you need to understand the feedback. Our online test provides key metrics.
වචන/විනාඩි (WPM - Words Per Minute): This is your net typing speed and the primary metric used in Sri Lanka for professional roles (tested in English).
අක්ෂර/විනාඩි (CPM - Characters Per Minute): This metric measures every single character you type per minute, offering a detailed analysis of your raw keystroke speed, which is very useful for the complex Sinhala script.
Accuracy (නිරවද්‍යතාවය): This percentage shows how many characters you typed correctly. Aiming for an accuracy of 97% or higher is a great goal.
Errors (වැරදි): This is a count of every incorrect key you pressed.
Average and Fast Typing Speeds in Sri Lanka (ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ සාමාන්‍ය සහ වේගවත් ටයිප් කිරීමේ වේගයන්)
Typing in Sinhala (සිංහල) is fundamentally different from English. The Sinhala script is an Abugida, where consonant characters are modified by vowel diacritics (pili). This means a single perceived "letter" like කු (ku) requires two keystrokes (ක + ු). This complexity, compared to the one-key-per-letter system of English, naturally results in a different speed dynamic.
However, professional benchmarks in Sri Lanka are almost exclusively based on English typing speed. We can establish strong estimates for Sinhala based on these standards.
Average User: 30 - 40 WPM (approximately 150 - 200 CPM). This is a standard speed for a typical user proficient in daily computer tasks in a bilingual English/Sinhala environment.
Proficient / Professional: 40 - 55 WPM (approximately 200 - 275 CPM). This is considered an efficient speed and is the general expectation for most administrative, clerical, and government jobs where typing is a regular requirement.
Fast / Advanced: 55+ WPM (approximately 275+ CPM). This is a high-performance speed, expected for specialists like journalists, translators, and data entry operators working extensively in the Sinhala language.
Hiring Criteria and Minimum Speed (රැකියා සඳහා අවශ්‍යතා සහ අවම වේගය)
In Sri Lanka, job advertisements for clerical roles often state a specific typing speed requirement in English.
The Standard (සම්මතය): The accepted metric is Words Per Minute (WPM), tested in English.
Minimum Speed Required: For government clerical and management assistant roles, a minimum speed of 30-35 WPM in English is a standard benchmark.
Requirement Example: A recent circular for the recruitment of
Management Service Officersin the Sri Lankan Public Service listed the following under qualifications:"should possess a speed of not less than 30 words per minute in English typing." Sinhala Translation: "ඉංග්‍රීසි යතුරු ලියනයේදී මිනිත්තුවකට වචන 30කට නොඅඩු වේගයක් තිබිය යුතුය."
Format Suitability: Our වේග පරීක්ෂණය (speed test) format is ideal, providing the main metric used locally (WPM) and the detailed secondary metric (CPM).
