Distance Algorithm Is Accurate - Version: 0.5.1, 5/14/2004 03:33PM PST

Keymileage measures for two radically different keyboard layouts, which are depicted in the program over top of their respective distances, with prominent bold-print labels.
If you enter 'asd', the Dvorak distance is 1.5 inches, while the Qwerty distance is 0 inches. 'D' in Dvorak is located where 'H' is on Qwerty.
Every keyboard I've ever seen has 3/4-inch-square keys, including PowerBooks, Pro Keyboards, and Wintels. Not having found any non-standard sizes, I haven't bothered putting in options for different dimensions.
Please download this program and experiment yourself, and actually read the Read Me.

hey man, quieres wit' bacon? normally I wouldn't comment or would defend proper posting, but nice placement - like a professional - this review/log needed lightening up.
BTW to developer - it would be really quite interesting if, and I cannot verify the validity since I have not d/l'ed it myself, but if it was accurate it would be pretty cool. The different keyboard layouts like powerbook, pro keyboard, etc. are probably more or less just scaling factors from each other easily meaured by a keys diagonal length for the most part. Anyway, once it gets accurate for any kb then you'll have my vote too. I type really a lot and am contemplating getting one of those stenographer's keyboards for the computer which, after re-learning a whole new typing technique, enables one to achieve realistic values of around 200 words per minute and up to about 280.
