200+wpm with this? | Stenography & Plover

Stenography is a machine shorthand for court room transcription and captioning live TV broadcasts! Professional stenographers write at 180 to 220wpm to keep up with the human speech. Today I'll be talking about learning stenography at home with the open-sourced program Plover, how steno works and how you can steno at home with your own keyboard too.

Thank you Peter for sending me your steno uni v2 keyboard!

My Things:

Thanks for watching!

[stenoknight]

Thank you so much for this amazing video!!! It's already two months old, but no one told me about it, so I had to get it recommended to me by YouTube, haha. But I absolutely love the way you explain steno in such a clear and enthusiastic way. My heart is absolutely glowing right now. I'm gonna post about this video on the Plover Blog tomorrow!! Thank you again!

imagine just arguing with a professional stenographer and they start roasting you at 180+ wpm

[graf]

an osu! community and steno community crossover is something I never thought would happen, love to see it

[phiasch]

I'm so happy you are promoting steno and plover. More people getting into hobbyist stenography is a good thing

[rezatriwansyah]

i like how you go from "ok, i need to edit my video faster, how?" to "yes, stenography"

[EtienneYT]

Really good vid tbh. Will probably never try steno, but I definitely know a lot more about it now!

[thanks]

so is no one going to talk about her steno dictoonary

[RowanDeer]

Can we talk about how a rhythm game YouTuber made the best video explaining how steno works. None other explain it well

[tfexcession]

Really cool to see this video made! I'm the daughter of a judge and I used to be obsessed with the steno machines at my dad's workplace. I'd seen a bit of info on steno and plover before but this has finally inspired me to go out and buy my own and start learning!

I can only imagine how quick the discord general chat is on that discord server 😳

[mewowow]

I'm crying over the conversation with those typos

[uki]

Stenographers are not actually typing on a keyboard. The are playing sad piano music for the accused.

[csh]

i type like 100+ wpm and my highest ever is like 150 wpm. this steno thing looks really fucking cool and i struggle to see how it's done

[Zoom_]

Good video. You're one of the few people who actually provide accurate information regarding stenography. I am a stenographer and learned using the StenEd Realtime theory. Learning steno can be extremely overwhelming, but like you mentioned, you are basically learning a whole new language. Also, going from a QWERTY keyboard to a steno keyboard and vice versa is a weird feeling LOL.

[you_key]

As someone who is a poor typer but a fast learner, I think this would be pretty cool to try and learn

[AerickSteno]

Thanks a lot for linking my video in the description and showing one of my videos! It put a nice blip in my analytics and added some life into my channel!

[theyopo]

i’ve always had an interest in stenography! thank you for bringing attention to it and showing how broke pleps like me can learn! :, )

[jez]

I'm someone who spends a lot of their life typing when it comes to socializing. So naturally, I am extremely interested in anything that increases my typing speed. Just literally learned about the existence of a stenographer keyboard today, and just the idea of "a keyboard meant for faster wpm" had me. This video is the perfect way to introduce it all to me, including the explanation of what it is how it works, and even "home-ified" casual situations that I can see myself using it in, considering I don't have an interest in using it in a professional setting.

[gatauapaajalah]

Imagine someone sweating and raging over steno 😂

[dsample]

This is probably one of the most comprehensive intro videos to steno I've seen, and really well produced.

I really need to get back to learning it, but I keep hitting a wall.
