I'll take your twenty dollars any time. You in the bay area? I can read it about %75 percent as fast as normal text, and speeding up over time.

- subtenante 15y agoHow long have you been training? I'm not sure what 75% as fast means. Faster or slower? (If slower, what the point?) I would have chosen not to go the alphabetical order way to attributing dotsies. I'd have chosen single points for vowels, for example. And the consonants grouped by phonetic similarity. You're bound to Ctrl+ to be able to read anyway. So if you're making the dotsies bigger vertically to be able to distinguish things, why use only 5 vertical slots? 6 or 7 would allow more distinctive patterns. 2 dots at the bottom for plosives, 3 dots for fricatives, etc. Seems interesting as a personal thing, but I'd venture it's hard to teach to someone, way more than you seem to believe. Have you already taught someone in a few 20 minute trainings?
- jrockway 15y agoI'm in NYC, but I'll probably be in Mountain View in the near future. I'll let you know; I'm good on the bet :)
- trogdoro 15y agoExcellent:) I'm also trogdoro on twitter. Doing it over skype could work as well. You could use the bookmarklet on a local html page and share your screen so I'd have no way to know the original text. There are only 26 letters. It's much easier than it seems. It just takes time to build up your speed and be able to recognize smaller typefaces.
