Bringing stenography to everyone. The Open Steno Project seeks to bring free software, low-cost hardware, and interactive learning tools to everyone who wants to use steno for their personal or professional pursuits.

Court reporters have used stenography for over a century to write at over 200 words per minute, faster than most people speak

Shorthand is an abbreviated symbolic writing method that increases speed and brevity of writing as compared to a normal method of writing a language. The process of writing in shorthand is called stenography, from the Greek stenos (narrow) and graphē or graphie (writing).

edit: There’s also another project called the “Charachorder” for example: https://www.charachorder.com/

That’s all great, but with a little practice, anyone can type 300 wpm, even without stenography.

WPM or KPM? The unofficial world record seems to be 293 WPM.

Good point! And sorry, my bad. I was confusing 300 WPM with KPM. 🫣
