Congrats! What were the texts (of you still have them)?

157 wpm on ten minutes?? Wowowowowow =x

So 785 cpm?

Amazing.

Try Intersteno and tell me.
SCREENSHOT.

It was a race? I mean.. like on typeracer? Because the interface is not pleasant for typing.

Minilek, I didn't think to copy/paste the tests. I should have though.

Motsak, it wasn't 10 minutes. It was supposed to be 10 minutes but the second and third texts seemed to be only two or three times longer than normal...they were probably only 2-3 minutes.

Well done, Sean and Dan, it seems like it was well deserved for both of you as you were far ahead of the rest of the field!

It's a real shame Jelani didn't want to participate though, I wonder if he shows some regrets?

Anyway, when will the final happen?

Well, it's not 100% clear if I would have been able to participate anyway, since I was ineligible for being a territory resident (from our conversations it seemed this could be fixed, but that wasn't a promise).

But, regardless of that, I don't regret my decision. Unrestricted rights to my name and image aren't for sale to corporations.

Okay, Karen. I did the Intersteno 10 minute English test, and for some inexplicable reason, I did BETTER (but I am worn out now). I have no explanation how I would average 150 wpm on five-minute tests elsewhere or 156 on a three-minute or so test in the UTC, and almost 170 on this ten-minute test, unless the words we were being asked to type were much easier.

By the way, I'm now #1 on the French test, but I won't even sniff #1 on the general classification until I can figure out what everyone is doing to get those REALLY fast alphabet and reverse alphabet scores. I did improve my rank on both of those a lot, by I can't even imagine someone typing the alphabet in a second or the reverse alphabet in 1.1. I can't do better than 1.5 and 1.8 on those (not that that's really bad, compared to players on this site in general...)

Sean?
Have you MSN?
Add me: motsak@msn.com ;p

Your scores are unbelievable :]

Damz · Post by **Damz** » 11 Jan 2010 22:50

Dude, you're an absolute monster, 157 on French for an anglo is ridiculous!

and 842 on intersteno is otherwordly too, though you'll have to keep these mistakes in check because you could have had a better score with 550 cpm and 7 mistakes!

As for the alphabets, you just have to find an optimal fingering and you'll get there...

But where the hell where you these past few years, it seems like you just popped up out of nowhere last month or something

Congrats for your scores, really impressive especially on the french text

Wow, that is a MASSIVE penalty for making typos, but I always start out as the hare until learning for sure that being a tortoise is the correct strategy.

Sean,

Why do you want #1 position so much?

Can't you show some respect for my lifelong achievements and hard work? I'm 2 years your senior.... you can wait until I die of old age, then you'll have time to re-write history
