    Someone else mentioned he knew or had heard of a secretary with a recorded
    manual shorthand speed of 200 wpm.  Pretty impressive.  I had never heard of
    anyone transcribing at that speed without a machine ...

On the other hand, I read in Technology Review about a year ago that
Kurzweil makes a machine that has a 10k word vocabulary that can type from
spoken text at a 200wpm rate... and it doesn't take coffee breaks.
