You can - if 150 wpm is what you speak, with Plover and training you can reach 120-225 wpm on a qwerty keyboard with NKRO capability. But it's indeed steno (on a regular keyboard). With regular strokes and autocomplete you might reach

It think it's a bit shorter and a bit more simple to explain which means that it can be more practical for a gaming night with 4 or 5 players. I clocked a 2 player at 1.5u and a four player game at 3h, with experience that'll go d
