Jade-GG's Phrasing System Practice On Typey Type

Hello everyone, take a look at this https://github.com/Jade-GG/plover_phrasing

If you haven't heard of the phrasing system developed by Mr. Jade-GG, you are missing out on the full potential of what steno can do. A phrasing system basically shortens an entire sentence into a single stroke. Just like how you write words in a single stroke (i.e. left, thumb, right), you can write word phrases in a single stroke by assigning the left, thumb, and right parts of the layout to words instead of sounds.

For example, I can write "I don't really remember that" in just one stroke "SWROEURPLT". It's really fun once you get the hang of it.

You can go here to download the dictionary and import it into plover. You can also use a python dictionary if you have the python dictionary plugin installed through the plugin manager.

Here is a lovely visual representation of the entire system by Jen from the Plover discord:

    The phrasing approach described here is really interesting because it shows how steno can move beyond individual words and handle complete expressions with a single stroke. The example of encoding an entire sentence into one stroke also makes the efficiency of the system easy to appreciate.

    For anyone experimenting with the Python dictionary plugin mentioned in the article, Python Online Course could be useful for strengthening the Python fundamentals needed to customize or work with dictionary-based tools. The idea of combining steno with programmable dictionaries opens up plenty of opportunities for experimentation.

    It is also great to see a visual explanation accompanying the phrasing system, since these concepts can be difficult to understand from text alone. For users who want to explore the programming side further, Python Online Training can provide a practical foundation for working with Python-based extensions and automation.

Intro to Stenography

Hello my name is Peter. I'm here to bring steno to everyone. Learning stenography doesn't have to be expensive. What is stenography? Stenography is a form of writing  where you can write whole words or phrases by pressing multiple keys at once. The entire system is based on the pronunciation of a word, for example, you can stroke the word "quality" by pressing "KWALT" on the steno machine. The steno layout: Source: Art of Chording Why stenography? With only 23 keys, stenography is much more efficient than the traditional method of typing. The world record for stenography is currently at 360 words per minute, held by Mark Kislingbury, but the average court reporter must be able to write at over 200 words per minute. Compare this to the measly 70 wpm average of a "fast typist". By the way, you can do anything a normal keyboard can do on a steno keyboard and I mean anything. Punctuations, symbols, capitalization, numbers, characters, emojis, shorcuts,...

Uni Build Guide

How to Build Your Own Uni Step 1: Buy a PCB Go to  StenoKeyboard.com  and buy yourself a PCB. Cool. You are done with this step. Step 2: Buy the other parts You need to buy these components: Pro Micro (or Pro Micro compatible Elite C) 28 PCB Mount* Switches (Mx, Alps, or Choc) 28  Keycaps  (You can also buy keycaps from other vendors) 4 Rubber Feet Solder and Soldering Iron USB Cable to connect your Uni to the computer *PCB mount switches have two additional plastic legs that makes it easier for the switches to stay on the PCB while you solder. Plate mount can work, but it will be harder. Alps switches are plate mount. Step 3: Solder the Pro-Micro Make sure to position the Pro-Micro on the side of the board WITHOUT diodes. It is also extremely important that you solder the pro micro on so that the smooth of the pro micro is facing up so that the footprints match up. The long pins fa...

Steno In a Nutshell

Quick, read this sentence out loud. Now, try to type that same sentence. Which was faster? Most people can read much faster than they can type. Stenographers, on the other hand, can type as fast as you read! But what is steno anyways? Sometimes, steno feels like magic. Words. Entire words, magically appearing on the screen. Steno is a method of writing that allows the user to press multiple keys at the same time to make an entire word. Here's a video of me doing stenography. Huh? Watch it again. Maybe you can understand it the second time around. Or maybe not. Still confused? I was too. But it turns out, it's not as complicated as it looks. Steno might look like playing a piano, and you're not wrong... Piano and steno are actually quite similar. Both use chords to represent sounds. Phonetic Spelling You write in steno by typing words as they sound. You spell "cat" by typing "KAT" in steno. There are only 22 letter keys on the steno layout even though the...
