Hi All,

I was wondering, is anyone using the CharaChorder? It's a fascinating alternative to the quirty keyboard that's supposed to give the average user more than 200 words per minute typing, and for some, over 500 words per minute, and it's done all by touch. No sight. Just touch. Here's the link to an Apple News article about it:

If anyone is using it, I would love to hear about your experience.

The images look photoshopped, and the device lacks a connecting cable.

Their web site charachorder.com has all the appearance of a brand new, bootstrap company that's been selling their keyboards since mid 2021. Yesterday I wrote them and asked if their products and their manual are accessible. I'll report back if I hear from them.

I own one. Unfortunately, it takes a big training commitment to type at the rates advertised. You need to completely re-learn how to use your fingers.

I have experimented with the chording feature, and it is very powerful. You can type faster than a transcriptionist if you learn this skill.

I am going to sell mine. I simply can't make the time to practice.
