The fastest talker in the world has landed in New Zealand, showing off her speedy skills to promote the services of a local telco.
New Yorker Fran Capo clocks 11 words a second, earning her title of fastest talker in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1986 - a crown she still holds.
She took time out between touristy activities (zorbing and black water rafting are on her to-do list) and 2degrees commitments to chat with us in the NZ Herald studio.
