I think there needs to be a competition for the most fonts used on one document. There is a huge font mistake in the CSS for this blog which I must fix, although no-one has pulled me up on it yet! @Steve Nice blog! I have a twitterfone account, I just haven't used it yet. I must be addicted to trying to type using 12 keys. Which reminds me, I think I have a bluetooth keyboard somewhere... Wonder if it works with the N95? Now, where was it?.. @aedjp Great link… I think there needs to be a competition for the most fonts used on one document.

I've been playing with the <a href="http://www.twitterfone.com/" rel="nofollow">twitterfone</a> beta, Bit more niche, but kind of fun - and great for those slow texters (like me).

How to get your point across</a>). * People handwrite at about 31 words per minute (wpm). * A basic typist can reach 50-95 wpm, an advanced one above 120 wpm * Conversations are around 200 wpm Of course, that doesn't account for thinking time. I'm fairly confident that I didn't manage to write 31 WPM during my exam. Very few typists can type up a conversation or take dictation in real-time. Very few. There again, there aren't many speech recognition products than can either! Hi Lewis,

From an old post (e-mail or IM? How to get your point across).

* People handwrite at about 31 words per minute (wpm).
* A basic typist can reach 50-95 wpm, an advanced one above 120 wpm
* Conversations are around 200 wpm

Of course, that doesn’t account for thinking time. I’m fairly confident that I didn’t manage to write 31 WPM during my exam.

Very few typists can type up a conversation or take dictation in real-time. Very few. There again, there aren’t many speech recognition products than can either!

How does typing and voice recognition compare from a productivity perspective? Speech to text technology seems to be hitting prime time.

Design... It is a curious thing! What strange creations desktop publishing unleashed on the world. I wonder what we will make of all this technology when we look back in a couple of decade's time?
