Pick a passage, recall each Hanzi, and type slowly and accurately. WPM only counts correctly typed Hanzi. Punctuation and spaces are not counted toward speed.
Texts contributed by the community โ new entries appear right after submission. You can delete your own entry at any time.
Retyping a text is deep active recall: instead of merely recognizing a character, you must summon its shape from memory and rebuild it through the input method. Matrix Hanzi's Hanzi Typing mode ships a curated library โ HSK-graded short stories, poems and quotes โ and lets you paste any text of your own for slow, accurate practice.
In the workspace every character is checked the moment you type it: correct strokes light up, mistakes are flagged so you fix them in place. The page offers a pinyin and translation reference layer, reads the text aloud, and keeps your session history on-device โ no login, no data leaving your machine.
Just the pinyin input method built into your OS (Microsoft Pinyin on Windows, Pinyin keyboards on macOS/iOS/Android). This trainer builds recall reflexes; it does not replace your IME.
A built-in library of HSK-graded short stories, poems and quotes; you can also paste your own text, or contribute directly to the community library โ new entries appear right after submission.
For modern learners, typing recalls characters faster and more durably than pure handwriting because it binds each character to real context and allows many repetitions in a short time โ which is why Matrix Hanzi makes typing a core training path.
