Slovak (QWERTY) Typing Speed Test
Free Online Slovak QWERTY Keyboard – Type Slovak with Familiar Layout
Welcome to the Slovak QWERTY keyboard online (Slovenská klávesnica)! Our free virtual keyboard gives you instant access to all Slovak letters with diacritics while maintaining the familiar QWERTY layout. Type authentic Slovak from any computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Why use the QWERTY layout? While the standard Slovak keyboard uses QWERTZ layout, many Slovak speakers prefer QWERTY (especially programmers and those who frequently switch between Slovak and English). Our QWERTY variant gives you all Slovak diacritics while keeping familiar key positions!
Slovak special characters: Slovak has one of the richest diacritic systems in Slavic languages! Letters with háček (ˇ): č, ď, ľ, ň, š, ť, ž. Letters with acute (´): á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, ĺ, ŕ (yes, Slovak has long ĺ and ŕ!). Plus the unique ä and ô.
Perfect for: Slovak speakers who prefer QWERTY layout, programmers, Slovak learners, anyone typing Slovak on foreign keyboards, and the 5.5+ million Slovak speakers in Slovakia and diaspora.
QWERTY or QWERTZ for Slovak? The traditional Slovak layout is QWERTZ, with y and z swapped relative to English, matching Central European convention. This page uses the QWERTY variant, which keeps y and z where English speakers expect them while still providing every Slovak letter. Both are officially supported in Slovakia and both appear on machines sold there, so it comes down to which arrangement your fingers already know.
The letters that make Slovak Slovak: Slovak shares č, š, ž and the acute-marked long vowels with Czech, but it also has letters Czech does not: ľ and ĺ, ŕ, ô and ä. The ĺ and ŕ are long syllabic consonants — l and r acting as the vowel of a syllable, as in the word vlk, which has no written vowel at all. Slovak also lacks the Czech ř and ů entirely, so if a text contains those it is Czech, and if it contains ľ or ô it is Slovak.
Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. Your Slovak text stays on your device only.
