We were very glad to meet several young competitors of the last and previous editions of this contest at the Congress in Ghent on July 2013 and we hope to see many of old and new competitors in Budapest 2015 where we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of our Congresses.

This competition is the most important international championship, attended by more than 1500 participants who compete in 18 languages.

Each competitor can compare his results with those of other participants of the same age category not only in his native language, but also in as many as 17 foreign languages.

Grading in accuracy and speed are done according to internationally agreeded standards, based on long experience and intensive investigations.

Thanks to this competition, schools are able to show their presence on the Web, at international level about an ability useful at any learning level.

It is surely evident that a professional approach in keyboarding is a basic competence useful in any kind of schools and help to fullfill the growing demand of producing documents and communicating with the aid of computers and tablets. Moreover this ability, both in mother tongue as well as in foreign languages, will be an important asset for professional life which can easily be certified by the diplomas got from successful participants.

The goal of this competition is to foster proficiency in the use of the keyboard and to engage young people in fair and healthy competition with their peers all over the world.

The contest consists of ten-minutes of text entry, using special software available on the website www.intersteno.org
(in Taki and ZAV formats). It is open to students from public, private schools or associations and for seniors (21 years and over) who register through their Intersteno National group.
