November 20, 2002

HOW FAST CAN YOU TYPE ON YOUR PALM?

You all know how difficult it is to get a fair comparison of input methods. Any claim is likely to be dismissed as marketing hype, as it may sometimes be the case. So the idea is to have a contest where all participants can be measured on the same basis.

DOM PERIGNON II SPEED CONTEST

Just enter the following 40 words with the method of your choice and record your time:

What you need to do to have a chance to win the contest is to tap this sentence as fast as you can without any error. One more thing you need to have for a valid entry is a witness.

ACCEPTABLE INPUT METHODS ARE:

  • FitalyStamp, FitalyVirtual, or any Fitaly keyboard.
  • Any Palm keyboard using an overlay of the Graffiti area…
  • On-screen Keyboards activated by a pen.
  • Handwriting software such as Graffiti, Letter Recognizer…
  • Thumb boards: keyboards designed to be used with your thumbs.

    Obviously, the use of Graffiti shortcuts is not allowed and neither is the use of word or phrase completion capabilities. The use of an attached full keyboard is not allowed since the object of this contest is to compare input methods using pen input and thumb boards.
