Greek (220 Latin Toggle) Typing Speed Test
Greek (220) Latin Toggle Keyboard – Type Greek and Latin Without Switching
The Greek 220 Latin Toggle keyboard is built for people who write Greek and Latin text together. Rather than forcing you to switch system layouts every few words, this layout carries both alphabets at once — the full Greek set alongside the complete Latin set — so bilingual documents, citations, and code comments stay fluid. It runs free in your browser on any computer, tablet, or phone, with nothing to install.
What the 220 layout is. Greek 220 and Greek 319 are the two legacy IBM keyboard layout numbers that Windows still offers as alternatives to the default Greek layout. They differ from each other, and from the modern standard, mainly in where punctuation and symbols sit — which matters enormously if you learned to touch-type on one of them, or if you are matching the physical keycaps on older hardware. Muscle memory does not transfer between them, so having the exact layout available is the difference between typing fluently and hunting for a semicolon.
Full accent support. Greek needs more than bare letters. This layout provides the tonos (´) for accented vowels ά, έ, ή, ί, ό, ύ, ώ, the dialytika (¨) for ϊ and ϋ, and the combined dialytika-with-tonos (΅) for ΐ and ΰ. It also includes the final sigma ς, which is a genuinely separate letter used only at the end of a word — writing σ there instead is a spelling mistake, not a stylistic choice.
Both cases, both alphabets. Unlike a minimal Greek layout, this one exposes uppercase Greek (Α, Β, Γ, Δ, Ε, Ζ, Η, Θ …) as well as lowercase, plus the full Latin alphabet in both cases. That makes it practical for headings, acronyms, mathematical and scientific notation, and any text where Greek letters appear inside otherwise-English writing.
Perfect for: bilingual correspondence, academic writing that mixes Greek quotations with English commentary, scientific and mathematical notation, transliteration work, teaching materials, and anyone using a computer abroad that has no Greek layout installed at all.

Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing you write is sent to a server, stored, or logged.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Greek 220 keyboard layout?
Greek 220 is one of two legacy IBM keyboard layout numbers — the other is 319 — that Windows still offers alongside the default Greek layout. They differ mainly in where punctuation and symbols are placed. The 'Latin Toggle' version carries both the Greek and Latin alphabets so you can write in either without switching layouts.
How is 220 different from Greek 319?
The two are separate legacy layouts whose punctuation and symbol positions differ. Neither is more correct than the other — what matters is which one you learned or which one matches your physical keycaps, because touch-typing muscle memory does not transfer between them. We provide both.
Can I type Greek and English in the same document?
Yes, that is exactly what this layout is for. It carries the full Greek and Latin alphabets simultaneously, so bilingual documents, academic citations, and mixed technical writing do not require switching system layouts every few words.
How do I type accented Greek vowels?
Use the tonos (´) key for ά, έ, ή, ί, ό, ύ and ώ, the dialytika (¨) for ϊ and ϋ, and the combined dialytika-with-tonos (΅) for ΐ and ΰ. All three accent keys are on the layout, in addition to the plain vowels.
What is final sigma (ς) and when do I use it?
Final sigma is used only at the end of a word; σ is used everywhere else. They are not interchangeable — writing σ at the end of a word is a spelling error. Both forms are available directly on this keyboard.
Is this keyboard free?
Yes, completely free. There is no cost, no registration, no account, and no limit on how much you type. The site is supported by advertising, which is what keeps the keyboard free to use for everyone.
Does it work on mobile phones and tablets?
Yes. The layout is fully responsive and works on Android and iOS phones, tablets, Chromebooks, Windows, and macOS. On a touchscreen you tap the letters directly, which makes it a practical way to type Greek on a device with no Greek keyboard installed.
Is my typing private?
Completely private. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never transmitted to a server, never stored, and never logged, so it is safe for personal and sensitive writing.
Does it include uppercase Greek letters?
Yes. The full uppercase Greek alphabet — Α, Β, Γ, Δ, Ε, Ζ, Η, Θ and the rest — is available alongside lowercase, plus the Latin alphabet in both cases. That makes it usable for headings, acronyms, and scientific notation.
Which Greek layout should I choose?
If you write Greek and English together, use this 220 Latin Toggle layout. If you type only modern Greek, the standard Greek keyboard is simpler. For ancient or classical Greek with breathings and iota subscript, use the Polytonic keyboard.
