This is what 300 WPM looks like

The keyboard I use is the Uni, a mechanical keyboard made for stenography. Stenography is a system of pressing multiple keys at the same to time output a word or phrase at once. I use Plover to translate the strokes into words using a dictionary, but it's not autocorrect or any predictive computer thing; it's stenography.

I am doing the 10 word test on monkeytype. To learn more check out the Kickstarter page for the Uni.

Steno typing 300+ wpm looks so chill, meanwhile typing 200 wpm on a QWERTY keyboard looks like ultra instinct

Me with my 40 words per minute:
'You know what I'm somewhat of a Professional stenographer myself'

[ikeeluall]

My mom has been a professional court reporter for around 40 years, watching her type for hours on end at 300+wpm on stenos is incredible

I was about to say "looks like wrist pain" but that actually looks very efficient, steno would be a fun hobby to delve into during the winter.

If you're wondering how he does it, stenographs type via syllables, not words. This means that "the" or "log" or "far" is just a few simultanious keystrokes, which is translated to the English vocabulary via a computer.

I was expecting something more spammy, and the fact that it's not makes it even more impressive.

[AveryChow]

I should learn steno one of these days, it seems like a fun thing to learn.

0:10 Bro I was watching this in full volume whilst in the bathroom.

[miskeeping]

so cool!!! sprint tests are super fun on qwerty, excited to learn steno with the uni v3 to get even faster at sprints >:3

[sadtown]

Stenography is so cool, it's seems a lot like playing an actual piano, kinda, sorta,

[theclarkmaster]

This man types words faster than I do letters.

[plasticelephant]

At this point he has all words mapped out on keyboard & shapes his hands in a predefined form for each word.
It is a godly level to reach, congrats.
I can only reach 91 WPM on any keyboard

This guy can just send this video for a job interview as a stenographer

[Lilyium]

Could you make a video to explain the technique a little bit more? I'm interested in learning about it! 😊

I can hear Pi knocking on my door.

[priceyt]

i had a feeling that other video wasn't showing your true speed! Great job!!

[Arun_Baliga]

You make it look so easy meanwhile I'm over typing 200wpm with 3 fingers looking like I'm having a seizure episode.

Designers of typical keyboards: Let's make it really convenient for users to type one letter at a time!

Stenographers making the Uni: Let's make it really convenient for users to type one word at a time!

if you can learn stenography, you can absolutely learn japanese. the japanese alphabet and keyboard are phonetic. you do have to memorize kanji though, there’s no way to decipher a kanji’s reading/pronunciation through looking at it. but if you’re learning korean (another language with phonetic alphabet/keyboard) you CAN decipher the pronunciation by looking at it. do with that information what you will :)

I typed the entirety of Banana Man in MonkeyType and I want to eat a banana now
