Punjabi Typing Tutor - Master Gurmukhi

Mastering Punjabi Typing (Gurmukhi Raavi)

Punjabi, widely spoken in the Punjab regions of India and Pakistan as well as in the diaspora, uses the Gurmukhi script in India. Our Punjabi Typing Tutor is specifically designed to help you learn the Raavi font layout, which is the Unicode standard used for official government exams (like PSSSB) and modern digital content.

Understanding the Raavi Layout

Unlike legacy fonts like Asees or Joy, the Raavi font is based on Unicode. This means the text you type here can be used anywhere on the internet, in emails, and on mobile devices without breaking. The keyboard mapping usually follows a phonetic pattern similar to the Inscript layout used for Hindi, making it easier to learn if you already know another Indian script.

Why Practice Punjabi Typing?

• Government Jobs: Many clerical and data entry jobs in Punjab require passing a typing test in the Raavi font.
• Content Creation: Engage with the Punjabi community online, write blogs, or communicate on social media in your native language.
• Efficiency: Touch typing in Punjabi saves significant time compared to using on-screen transliteration tools for long documents.

Tips for Beginners

1. Setup: Ensure you have the Punjabi (Gurmukhi) keyboard enabled in your operating system settings.
2. Home Row Position: Rest your fingers on the middle row. This minimizes the distance your fingers need to travel.
3. Don't Rush: Accuracy is more important than speed when you are starting. Incorrect muscle memory is hard to fix later.
