The system learned to translate brain activity to physical intent after just 30 sentences. Typing speeds reached 22 words per minute with few errors, nearly matching speeds of able-bodied smartphone users.

Sure but we’re not talking about what’s being typed, rather how fast you can type it.
Yeah but like… This is a post about people who couldn’t type at all before. Even 22WPM is a massive quality of life boost, and all I’m saying is that even such a modest speed unlocks pretty much all of the contributory ability a strong typist has (and that slower isn’t always worse).
Oh for sure! But them saying that 22wpm is “nearly as fast as smartphone users” is what I’m calling out. This is an enormous improvement for the people who it affects!
