typers-terminal 0.0.1

A productivity app for speed reading and typing in a terminal

Typers Terminal

Typers Terminal is a productivity application used to speed read and type text from any URL, clipboard or builtin drill.

To learn content faster, a combination of speed reading and typing can be used. There are many studies showing the benefits of reading and taking hand written notes. Hand writing notes is slow at 13-20 while typing is much faster at 40 wpm and can easily be improved to 75wpm+. Though typing is not the same as note taking, I would argue there are still overlapping benefits such as, an increase in ability to focus, conprehension, memory and many more.

There is nothing stopping you from typing content in a notepad to take notes, but if you type incorrectly, take a microbreak, or scroll pages then you will have to spend time finding your place. Additionally, Stats are collected to show what type of words you struggle with and exercises are provided.
