I originally learned how to type and program on MUDs.

As someone with adhd that always needs to be doing two things at once for my brain to not be bored, this is great. I always have to be doing something with my hands and I love reading.

I've been doing this for a while now. I typed all of "Lupin, Gentleman Burgler"
It's a nice service.

Same, but mine was Minecraft public servers (usually Hypixel)

I'd be happy with a dictation machine and a foot pedal.

I used to have a client who did at home dictation on her computer. Apparently there are no good food pedals. The ones out there are expensive and poorly made.

Genius!!! Thanks!

I like Typing of the dead.

Projection at its finest. Nobody mentioned race until you brought it up, you divisive communist shit. The quick brown fox is the only one who can save our country! Why do you hate our freedom?

^^ Haha, someone doesn't like my experience

Adding two spaces after a sentence is a holdover from typewriting days. It isn’t used anymore as modern fonts adjust for extra space between sentences.

I love the idea, but I’m having a very hard time with legibility with the extra bold serif font.

It’d be nice to have the ability to select a few different fonts. Georgia, Tisa, and Merriweather are considered very legible serif fonts.

Sans-serif is generally considered easier to read on a digital screen — Helvetica, Open Sans, Roboto, PT Sans, and Verdana are very good options.

It looks like you’re using Literata — but you’re relying on the font-weight property to generate the bold weight. These aren’t “true” weights, the browser artificially creates it. Also, not all browsers render “font-weight” equally, so for maximum legibility it’s best to use the exact weight of the original font.

It’s like oblique v italic. Oblique will give you the slant, but it’s not a real italic. Font designer’s consider many different variables when crafting italic and bold styles, the aren’t just slanted or relying on additional stroke for the heavier weights.

Lastly, I think it would be helpful if the font size was bigger. Because you’re focusing on each letter / word, after awhile it starts blurring together.

But overall it’s a fantastic concept, and you have a great selection of titles as well. Very cool.

EDIT: Regarding fonts, the most legible ones are the ones that have equal character weight. You'll notice with Literata the bars "horizontal line in e, A, f, t, etc" are very thin while the stems & shoulders are quite thick. A famous example of this concept pushed to the extreme is the font Didot, which is featured on the cover of Vogue magazine.

These make for beautiful heading fonts, but poor paragraph fonts as the wide variety in width reduces overall legibility. You probably noticed this with Literata at its regular font weight which is why you changed the font-weight to bold, but I would consider selecting a different font altogether.

Yeah man. Some people like it. Some don't. So it's a shame this otherwise fantastic tool shuts that out.

This sounds cool. I only use monkey type or nitro type

The quick brown fox is a Fascist and so are you you pathetic piece of worthless racist trash….

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, and into an adventure that would change everything he thought he knew about the world and himself.

You can also feel like the author of the world's classic masterpieces of literature.

I think my brain must process that differently. If I have a word pop up that I don’t have “programmed” then I do default back to the character by character typing.

Yes it is.

No it isn't!

Great practice for plagiarists!

Exactly my point. Subjective opinions shape the material world. Subjectivity is the source of reality.

Yeah, stenography is a whole other thing.

I can type ~95 WPM with high accuracy when I'm focusing; this is enough that I'm able to keep up with the main ideas that need to be recorded in meeting minutes (and similar reporting/tracking documents), but definitely not word-for-word transcription.

To keep up with spoken language, you either need to learn stenography or slow down an audio recording. Or limit people to talk more slowly, lol.

I took a note taking and speed reading class once and they teach you to use your finger to keep track of what word you are on and to speed through a paragraph ignore the basic words like pronouns or and and the cause your brain is seeing them but you don’t need to focus consciously to pick them up.

I don't know, I read far, far, faster than I type, and do fine with reading comprehension.
I also find the act of writing things helps me process them better.
So I kinda think this would be like combining the two. Definitely going to give it a try, since the random word typing could never get me to hang in past a couple minutes before driving me nuts.

I think this is probably a more accurate description of the way I was taught, letters initially which is to learn the QWERTY keyboard layout and get it so you don’t have to think about where each letter is, and then with practice you will sight the word and just type that at speed, but new words or those with unfamiliar spelling still get broken down to letters.
