I've been using ZipChord for a few months now and I have found it to work extremely well as of the 2.0 release (which includes a filter that better distinguishes between character entry and chords). It is now at the point where it "just works."

Could you briefly take this typing test: https://livetyper.com/ And post the WPM you achieved?

67 - I would typically get 50-60 on tests like this prior to using the software. Also, it is not really a fair comparison since my library of chords is focused on words I typically use for my work. I would do better on a text related to my chord dictionary.

Thanks for testing! I suppose that was you I was racing then ;)

Tried a few times lol - wanted to see if I could quickly come up with some new chords for some of the words in that, but it is not so fast to learn a new chord
