World’s fastest hands-free typist

Published: February 8, 2011

Turns out that like most things that are ridiculous there is a world record for fastest hands-free typing and the record is set by a quadriplegic. This man, Hank Torres, is paralyzed from the waist down; however, that did not stop him. With computer assistive technology like SWYPE on-screen keyboard and a pointer he wields from his mouth. He failed on his first two attempts and on the third he was able to break the Guiness Book of World Records record. By the way he does have some control of his arms, but not his hands at all.
