Live transcription training

Type as fast as the world talks.

Not by hammering keys faster. By capturing every word accurately, so you keep the meaning, not just the pace. Speed is what happens once your capture is clean.

The Accurate WPM Gap Score

you62the world150

88wpm gap

The distance between how fast the world talks and how fast you accurately capture it. Every session shrinks it. (Illustrative, the test gives you your own.)

The problem

A lecture runs at 150 words a minute. Most people type 40.

The other 110 words fall away, and usually the part you needed goes with them. Typing faster is not the fix. Capturing accurately is.

The full arc

From keys to live speech.

Most people can't type at the speed of speech because the foundation was never solid. keystrology builds that foundation first, then trains it against the real thing.

How it works

The talk doesn't stop.

Two lines, falling words, one honest number. Here is the whole game.

The Accurate WPM Gap Score

The distance between how fast the world talks and how fast you accurately capture it. Every session shrinks it. (Illustrative, the test gives you your own.)

01
Two lines, two speeds

The SPEAKER line is the world, talking at full pace. The YOU line is you. The world sets the tempo.

02
Every word falls

The instant a word is spoken it drops into the band between the lines. Catch it accurately before it crosses yours.

03
One number that matters

The Accurate WPM Gap: how far behind you are, counting only the words you got right.

The metric that matters

The Accurate WPM Gap.

One honest number. How far behind the speaker you are, counting only the words you captured correctly. Lower is better. It cannot be gamed by typing fast and sloppy, which is exactly why we built on it.

Personalized practice

Every weak spot is a fixable lever.

keystrology scores every keystroke down to the letter pair, so it knows the exact combinations slowing you down. It shows them to you plainly, then aims your practice straight at them.

The climb

Step by step. The pace never lets up.

Beat Training gets you on the rhythm, then Live Transcription takes over for three steps. Each one strips away a crutch, until it is just your ear and your fingers against the talk.

Beat Training

Lyrics fall to a beat and the song never stops. Lock your keystrokes to the rhythm.

Curated song library
Podcast Mode

Real audio rolls with no pause button. Sustain your capture under live pressure.

Available in English & Spanish
Lecture Mode

Academic pace, a rolling five-word preview, nothing more. Capture it all, or just the key points.

Who it's for

Train for the room you're actually in.

Lectures & Class Notes

Keep up with a professor in real time and walk out with notes you can actually study from.

Meetings & Calls

Capture decisions and action items while they are being said, not half-remembered after.

Interviews & Journalism

Quote accurately, live, without breaking eye contact to scrub a recording later.

Captioning & Transcription

Build verbatim accuracy at broadcast speed, the foundational skill of the craft.

Captioning for Access (CART)

Provide live, verbatim captions so deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences can follow the room in real time.

Beyond the lessons

One skill, many rooms to use it.

Live transcription is the lead, but the same Gap Score engine reaches further. As you progress, keystrology opens Tracks and new languages. We only show what is real today, and say plainly what is still rolling out.

The Math Track
A separate Track. Type equations as LaTeX, scored on a canonical match, so x^{2} and x^2 both count.
Fundamentals

Copy LaTeX, then read a rendered equation and type the LaTeX back. Muscle memory for the math-critical keys.

Slow Dictation

Hear an equation and type it, no clock. Ear to notation, at your own pace.

Live Math

Full lecture pace, transcribing equations in real time. The capstone of the track.

Questions, answered.

Do I have to type every single word?

For training, yes, because that is how we measure accurate capture. In Lecture mode, filler words dim out so you score only the keypoints. The skill underneath stays the same: capture what matters, correctly.

Is this just a speed typing test?

No. We weight accuracy above all. A fast wrong word does not count, so you cannot win by typing quickly and sloppily. The goal is keeping the meaning, and speed follows from that.

What exactly is the Accurate WPM Gap?

The speaker's pace minus the words you captured correctly. It is one honest number for how far behind you are, and lower is better. It is the metric the whole product is built around.

Who is keystrology for?

Adults who need to keep up with live speech: students taking lecture notes, professionals in meetings and interviews, and people training toward captioning or transcription work.
