Audio Typing Test

Listen to a simulated 999 ambulance, NHS 111 or fire call and log the key information in real time. Practice in the style of the listening and typing exercises used by many ambulance and 111 services.

How it works

  • →You'll hear a recorded 999 or 111 call. Turn your sound up or use headphones
  • →Type what you hear: names, addresses, symptoms, hazards and callback numbers
  • →You can keep typing after the call ends — click Next when you're done
  • →Your log is scored against key information points
  • →A model control room log is shown so you can see what to aim for
Note: The calls are recordings, so they play on any phone or computer. You can replay a call if you miss something.

About the Audio Typing test

The audio typing test plays a simulated 999 or NHS 111 call aloud and asks you to log the key information in real time: the caller's name, the address, what has happened, and anything that affects the response.

It measures listening accuracy and typing speed together, replicating the live demands of a control room where you type while the caller is still speaking. This free demo plays a short sample ambulance call so you can practise capturing the details that matter. The full version has 16 calls across ambulance, NHS 111 and fire.
