I'm a stenographer, but this is cool seeing someone on day 1. When we first started learning you only really learn one or two keys at a time. They basically threw 3 to 6 months worth of theory at you on day 1. So props to you. I've been doing since I was 17. Now, I'm 29 and I'm making over 100k with this career. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for showing your first impressions! You have a long way to go but I know you'll be zooming through those lessons pretty soon!

TNice tutorials is literally the best tutorial on YouTube. It's right to the point, and very informative at the sa ti. Thank you so much

I loved this video!! I just linked it on the Plover Blog and am very much looking forward to seeing your progress. Excelsior!

Hey I just wanted to say I'm about to start steno school, and your testing portion of the video really was able to show me how much I love chording. it just feels so cool to me, I've really found a passion and was able to follow along with you very well on your video. Thanks a ton

Before this, I had never heard of Stenography but I had always wondered how people kept up while doing live captioning... this 100% is a different realm of thinking completely when it comes to typing and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it with practice.

The intro music seems appropriate, because my brain says this is basically learning to play piano for words...

I did pronounce Plover wrong, it apparently rhymes with "Lover" not "Clover". That said, I'm excited to get started, and looking forward to learning with everyone.

Just came across this video after binge watching other stenography videos lol.. I work as a part-time transcriptionist/captioner for audio files and video files but I’ve only ever known qwerty, so I figured the natural step would be to learn how to type quicker. I’ve taken such an interest in learning about stenography recently, I’ve completely fallen down the rabbit hole. Just yesterday, I started learning the basics of Gregg shorthand writing; My next step after that is to get a Uni Keyboard!

[JayHoerr]

That is super intriguing. I might have to join you in trying this out

[JRose_Art]

That is so cool! It was cool to see your first time testing the qwerty out!👍

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

I would love to see you progress how are you doing today?

A very useful lesson for all aspiring softians

There's a keyboard called CharaChorder that uses chording and simultaneous buttons, but with English, or whatever language you write in. Each button is a 5-way switch you can push in 4 directions and press in. You can type pretty quickly entering single letters, or you can type 300+ wpm using chords. The chords are fully customisable, so for example if you use the word "function" a lot, you could set the chord to be simultaneous press of "fcn". So you can build up your own version of the shorthand language, using whatever letters you find makes sense, for whatever words you tend to use. You can cover about 80% of written English with 400 chords. Pretty cool tech

I used a SOFT/HRUF keyboard 2 years ago and it took a couple months to get to around 50 wps. While interesting, I dropped it because it's useless to me as a programmer. Steno works well if you just want to write and keep on writing without having to edit anything and not having to use custom symbols / letters. Otherwise it's just going to get awkward. I'm 100+ (peak 115 or something) on QWERTY and typing speed is just not a bottleneck. Most of the time the bottleneck is thinking what I need to type.

Dw bro ADHD helps out so much with soft soft i find. day dreaming always gives new ideas so when i snap back i got that vision ready

[JsucksYT]
