## Story
For decades, we’ve grown accustomed to a system that's slow, sequential, and constrained by a layout designed for typewriters.We don’t think that makes sense anymore.That's why we've built a new standard for the digital age. Everything we do ties back to our mission to get the whole world typing at the speed of thought.®CharaChorder isn’t just a faster, more comfortable keyboard. Type individual keys like an ordinary keyboard, or chord multiple keys together for billions of possible outputs. It's the flexibility of a keyboard, the speed of a steno machine, and the ergonomics of a Datahand all baked together into 1 ultimate peripheral that's affordable & accessible for the masses.Just like chording unlocks a deeper level of creativity in the world of music, we're doing the same for human computer interaction. The potential is limitless, and the results are mind-blowing.What we’ve done so farBuilt & shipped +13,800 products all around the worldDeveloped our own firmware and input engine (CharaChorder Engine)Proven that users can dramatically exceed traditional typing speedsBuilt a passionate community pushing the limits of human inputWhere we're goingOur goal isn’t just to sell keyboards. With your help we aim to:License CharaChorder engine to OEMs & partnersExpand into education, gaming, accessibility, and beyondBuild tools that help people think, create, and communicate more fluidlyWe believe we can make CharaChorder a foundational layer of human-computer interaction, one that makes learning feel like a video game where you level up in real life.Why nowThree things are converging:AI is accelerating creativity. In this new age, the speed you can communicate with machines is the biggest bottleneck to bringing your ideas to life.Creators, Engineers, and E-Athletes are demanding more expressive tools.People are more open than ever to learning new interfaces that give them an edge, and reduce repetitive strain.The world is ready for something better than QWERTY. Now we're ready to make it available for masses.Why we’re raisingScale production & distribution so we can reach customers all around the world.Make the onboarding experience so fun it becomes a selling point rather than a barrier to entry.Accelerate partnerships, and our ability to license technology like the CharaChorder EngineThis isn’t just about speed. It’s about removing friction between what you think and what you create. When we succeed, we don't just make typing faster... we fundamentally improve how people connect with one another.Together, we can get the whole world typing at the speed of thought.®

## Q&A
- Q: There is a huge shortage of court reporters in the U.S. Could this machine make it easier for court reporters to pass the stringent 225wpm tests in order to work? With such high potential typing speeds, this could be a new route to bringing thousands of more high-paid court reporters into the field! .... Mark Kislingbury, World Record holder at 370wpm
- Q: What are the earnings predictions / history? What profit has been made? Very thin on information.
