Plover – open-sourced Steno for the masses You can use a predefined or create your own custom dictionary of shortcuts to type even faster for commonly used words, e.g, O-T-P-F > Occupational Therapy Practice Framework.So this eliminates the time and effort used when entering spaces with the spacebar. A similar thing happens with steno when you type a word. When a word is typed, it automatically inserts a space in anticipation of the next word. If you have used SWIPE gesture typing, it is kind of like that, or autocomplete on mobile devices. So it is much faster overall if you make mistakes too. With a stenotype, you just press the asterisk, *, with either hand and it deletes the previous word. When you make a mistake, e.g., such as wanting to delete an entire word because you change your mind and want to use another one instead (not necessarily a typo), you have to hold down backspace on a QWERTY.Multiple keys can be pressed simultaneously (like chords on a piano) to type out words even faster, 2 for most fingers, and 4 for right the pinky (at least that’s how I understand it).Instead of all 26 letters as keys, there are only 22 on a stenograph. Even playing the piano involves more movement as you move up and down the scales (I don’t know how to play the piano, but that’s what it looks like you need to do).
