are they teaching you phrasing? This is how you build your speed. For example: my LHPS (left-hand phrase starter) for "We" is KBL- (KPWHR) then I add A, AO, EU, O, U, OE, OU. Those are can't, couldn't, didn't, don't, shouldn't, won't, wouldn't. Then you add the RHPE's or right-hand phrase enders, like -RL for recall, -RB for remember, -BL for believe, etc. So "We couldn't believe" is KBLAOBL all in one stroke. "We didn't remember" KBLEURB; "We wouldn't change" KBLOUFPG. There are phrase starters for many things. For instance, "I". Many people use the Y for starting their "I" phrases. Like "I don't know" would be YON. I personally don't use the Y. I use SKWH. So "I don't approve" is SKWHOVRP (SKWH*OFRP). "I can't remember" SKWHARB. "I don't reside" SKWHORDZ. "I didn't bring" SKWHEURNG. The list of starters and enders is extensive and they save many strokes. It looks daunting, but once you start practicing them they become easy and make sense. And you can make up your own. You don't have to follow anyone else's
Thanks for the insightful comment! Yes, I am aware of phrasing, but I am still trying to get the hang of it. I'm not entirely sure if I should make my own phrasing system or use some others I've found. Phrasing is definitely one of my weak points and it's one of the things I'm actively trying to work on right now. Oh and by the way, I'm completely self-taught, and do not attend a steno school 😄.
Hell yeah, dude! I just ordered a Georgi and am going to embark on this journey. I type about 120 WPM with 98% accuracy so I imagine it will be frustrating to start so slow on the Georgia with plover, but I guess you just gotta keep plowing away at it, huh?
Yeah it is just one of those things you have to keep grinding to get better. One thing you should be aware of, however, is that there's a really long wait time for the Georgi (some haven't received their orders even after a year). It's quite inconvenient, but the person who makes them has been going through a rough time so they're just really hard to come by these days.

TypeRacer has a character limit (which changes depending on the word). This script can rectify that problem: gist.github.com/stanographer/04303156582960e1782d3edd81236469 . I used GreaseMonkey extension to install this.
A couple of things: Should I use space before or space after? I use space after, I find it easier. Secondly, all of the songs in Steno Arcade are copyright free, I believe.
Space before and space after both have their weird quirks and bugs. The definitions I use for movement and things like that expect space before, and if I switch to space after, it's really buggy. The default songs in Steno Hero aren't all free from content ID. In any case, I've always added my own songs which are definitely not copyright free.
The screen you're seeing consists of three windows. The one on the left is Kate (a text editor) and the window on the bottom right is Plover's built-in suggestions window.
I was introduced to plover I think 5 years ago because my girlfriend's aunt was a court reporter, I always wanted to do it but never got past the first step Finally restarted today, 7wpm on the most basic lessons but it still feels so satisfying
Plover theory and the default dictionary? Depends if it clicks with you. For me personally, when I came across a word that didn't make sense in the dictionary, I ended up just memorizing a brief or adding my own entry that was more intuitive (this was quite early on in the process). I know for sure that some people don't like that approach, which is why I made and recommend Lapwing instead. For most people it's probably the better choice, in my opinion.
As I mentioned in the description, about 1 hour a day. But after about 4 or 5 months, practice started becoming less focused and I mostly using it for chatting and less time was spent on something like Steno Jig.
There are some people that do code with steno. It's mainly the ergonomic benefit that attracts people to code with steno and not the speed aspect. Take a look at Ted coding in steno: ua-cam.com/video/XlThyTMjujg/v-deo.html It does, however, take a long time to build your dictionary and transition to it.
@@AerickSteno Yea that's not how it works. Now that we have autofills, you just need to type 2 letters and it autofills, it's as fast as steno, even faster, because of all the symbols coding needs, which makes you need to type more with steno cuz of all the symbols.
@@tomohiroluo3007 As I mentioned, it's not the speed aspect that makes coding in steno "better". It's more the fact that your fingers never have to move all over the place. Auto completion can still be used with steno as well. And you don't have to "type more" to write symbols. Sure, the strokes for symbols are more complicated and involve more keys than just pressing one key on a QWERTY keyboard, but when you're proficient in steno it doesn't matter how many long a stroke is. The number of keys in a stroke doesn't affect how fast you are in steno. I'm not trying to convince you to use steno for coding, I just want to show you that it *can* be done faster and more efficiently.
@@AerickSteno Lol I'm not trying to start a war or anything, it's just... you know, as a programmer, I like using plover to type or just day to day communicate, but plover for coding is a bad idea considering how IDEs are made for normal keyboards, and they will be developped further for normal keyboard. And sometimes, all we need is copy and paste :-D

@@AerickSteno Thank you so much, I've had this problem for months.
I am new learner to plover; any advice for memorizing key stroke for word; in 1 month u achieved quite a threshold
Not really apart from doing it. If you've read through learn Plover or the Art of Chording, you'll know the rules that you need to make each word.

@@AerickSteno Thanks for the info. I have started space before, and I find it better than after, at least when I use steno.
What text editor are you using in the beginning that's showing your strokes on the right hand side?
The screen you're seeing consists of three windows. The one on the left is Kate (a text editor) and the window on the bottom right is Plover's built-in suggestions window.

How’s it going?
Is plover still best way to get started with steno?

Got it from www.gboards.ca
How'd you manage to mount your georgi to a tripod? I'm trying to do this with my corne...
I wrote about my mount here: www.erikto.com/tech/georgi-stand/
How many hours per day did you practice over this time?
As I mentioned in the description, about 1 hour a day. But after about 4 or 5 months, practice started becoming less focused and I mostly using it for chatting and less time was spent on something like Steno Jig.
Yeah it's great and I'm learning how to use it too!! But I don't think people use it for coding, it will slower the process

@@AerickSteno i wanna learn step by step
@@vermasattu Watch my "Beginner's Guide to Plover" video. It should be pretty comprehensive, I think.
Great video, but can't help to see the irony of the word egronomic
Why is that?
