Ranked quotes are quotes on TypeGG that adhere to strict criteria in order to be deemed suitable for the Ranked section. They award performance points for scores set on them and appear in Quickplay. Quotes that do not adhere to these criteria may still be submitted under the Unranked section.

There are four criteria in order for a quote to be Ranked:

Must primarily be in English
Use only ASCII characters (except Tab), or convert non-ASCII text to valid ASCII characters as needed
Be sourced from a published work
Match the original text exactly for written quotes, or adapt audio quotes

Criterion 1:

Quotes must primarily be in English.

Quotes must be over 50% English in order to qualify as ranked. Quotes in Old English or Middle English are allowed as long as they replace non-ASCII text with ASCII characters.

Criterion 2:

Quotes must use only ASCII characters (except Tab).

Quotes must only be submitted with printable ASCII characters, but can replace non-ASCII characters with suitable ASCII replacements. Letters with accents can be replaced by their non-accent counterparts.

For example:

é can be replaced with e.

« can be replaced with <<.

‘ and similar single quotes can be replaced with '.

" and similar double quotes can be replaced with ".

Criterion 3:

Quotes must be sourced from a published work.

Quotes must be from a published work such as:

Book
Movie
Poem
TV Show
Video Game
Song
Academia
Historical Document

Quotes from other sources, such as quotes from community members or websites, are not permitted in the Ranked section. The only exception to this are Community quotes, where some can later become Ranked if the quote is of large enough significance to or is popular within the community.

Criterion 4:

Quotes must match written quotes exactly, or adapt audio quotes.

Written Quotes

Quotes from written sources, such as Books, Poems, Academia, Historical Documents, and text from Video Games must match the written quote exactly except when replacing non-ASCII characters.

For example, when texts use the non-ASCII long dash they may be replaced with the ASCII short dash:

"Regarding gloves—never wear woollen gloves..."^[1] → "Regarding gloves - never wear woollen gloves..."^[2]

Audio Quotes

Quotes from audio sources, such as Movies, TV Shows, Songs, and audio from Video Games can be transcribed from the audio source, and are more open to interpretation by the quote submitter.

For example, the chorus from the Song Bôa - Duvet can be transcribed either with new lines (stanza form) or without new lines (prose form):

"I am falling

I am fading

I am drowning

Help me to breathe"^[3]

"I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe."^[4]
