Plover Wins the Race!

A stenographer using Plover, the Open Source Steno Program, ( http://stenoknight.com/plover ) cleaning the floor with Jimbo, a (presumably qwerty-using) competitor on TypeRacer. Plover's average speed: 213 WPM (made one error, which slowed down the average a bit.) Jimbo's average speed: 117 WP. Not too shabby for a qwerty typist, but no match for steno.

This video has no soundtrack. Transcript: "Every craft and every investigation, and likewise every action and decision, seems to aim at some good; hence the good has been well described as that at which everything aims. However, there is an apparent difference among the ends aimed at. For the end is sometimes an activity, sometimes a product beyond the activity; and when there is an end beyond the action, the product is by nature better than the activity." -- Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics

"Likewise" and "apparent" required two strokes each. Every other word in this passage was written with a single stroke on the steno keyboard.
