A degree is not needed, but having certifications will help you a lot. It's certainly possible to get one if you're self taught (check out the NCRA certifications).

@@AerickSteno Thank you!

The only major advantage with the Polyglot is that it supports Javelin, which has an embedded steno engine, and also lets you remap keys really easily. I like the Multisteno's build quality more. If you're not sure, I'd say go for the Polyglot.

I don't know if I actually do write accurately. I've never gotten any certifications, and I don't really know any professional stenographers (certainly not in real life). I taught myself steno when I was 15 and have always used it more of a way to control my computer instead of transcription. What kind of dictionary are you trying to build? Yes, it's possible to write keyboard shortcuts with Plover. This page goes over the systems I use for shortcuts: lapwing.aerick.ca/Chapter-25.html Plover can write anything you can type with a keyboard, except holding down keys.

First download and install Plover. See this guide: plover.wiki/index.php/Installation_Guide Download my Vietnamese steno dictionary here: github.com/aerickt/steno-dictionaries/blob/main/viet.json (Press the little download icon on the right). Unfortunately, if you want to reach the speeds in this video (and above), you will need a dedicated steno board. plover.wiki/index.php/Supported_hardware It's possible to use a regular keyboard, but you won't be very fast plover.wiki/index.php/Beginner%27s_Guide

@@AerickSteno I want to type "uya" but I can't because that word isn't in the dictionary. I think making a keyboard based on the phonetics of Vietnamese would be better :3

​@@procyon31 It's a lot easier to make a dictionary based on spelling since it's very regular, and it allows you to disambiguate between homophones. That's the approach I went with in the viet.json dictionary. However, the issue with the dictionary is that it's autogenerated based on a list of Vietnamese words. I wrote a few scripts to go through a list of Vietnamese words I got off the internet, and generate steno outlines for each word. Evidently, that list missed "uya", which is why you're not able to write it. I would still run into the same issue if the dictionary was based on phonetics. It would be better if the dictionary was a procedural one where Plover creates the outlines on the fly (like a python dictionary). This would allow you to write any arbitrary combination of Vietnamese sounds, even the resulting "word" is nonsense. However, I don't know if I have the time or skills to do that. For now, what you can do is add "uya" or any other missing word you come across to your dictionary based on the rules that you learn. This is also how English steno is done. Oftentimes, we come across words or phrases that are missing from our dictionaries, and we just add them. It's part of the learning process (no dictionary is ever considered complete).

@@AerickSteno hey i have a idea for vietnamese keyboard

@@AerickSteno :0

Hi, you can't really buy any of these in shops anywhere in the world. They're all available in online shops. You can find a list of them here: plover.wiki/index.php/Supported_hardware#Commercially_available_hobbyist_writers

You can find a list of them here: plover.wiki/index.php/Supported_hardware#Commercially_available_hobbyist_writers I no longer use the one in this video, and it's also out of stock at the moment.

You want to download Plover here first: plover.wiki/index.php/Installation_guide I recommend getting a proper steno keyboard: plover.wiki/index.php/Supported_hardware#Commercially_available_hobbyist_writers Then add this dictionary to Plover and turn off the English ones: github.com/aerickt/steno-dictionaries?tab=readme-ov-file#vietjson This page goes over the chords: github.com/aerickt/steno-dictionaries/wiki/Vietnamese-Steno

:33 nhiều người việt quan tâm lắm nè

Yeah, easily. Normally you would just split it up by syllables, but since this is such a common question I've just added my own one stroke brief (shortcut).

Yeah I'm gonna use speech to text to replace my keyboard. Very practical I'm sure.

@@AerickSteno my keyboard just out puts 'monaling'

​@@Scrolte6174 You need this dictionary: www.openstenoproject.org/stenodict/dictionaries/emoji.html Alternatively, you can also install the plover-emoji plugin. It allows you to use a suffix stroke instead.

@@AerickSteno I imported the dictionary but it's not working

Should be. But you need to be able to write your own firmware.

@@AerickSteno Oh well idk how to do that By the way, I'm new to steno and trying to decide between lapwing and plover theories. Do you have any suggestions?

@@astronaut31415 I mean, I created and use Lapwing and I think it's easier for beginners to pick up. The default dictionaries that come with Plover theory isn't great and there isn't a standard way to easily write multisyllable words.

@@AerickSteno Ok, thanks! Your videos will help me a lot. And the plover discord.

If you're using Plover theory and the default dictionary, yeah it would be SEUL/ABL or SEUL/-BL. However, I don't use Plover theory and I have these outlines instead: SHRABL S*EUBL SEU/HRA/-BL SEU/HRABL SEUBL SEUL/-BL Keep in mind that not all stenographers use the same outlines and in this video I'm just showing one particular steno theory (the one that I use).

I'm using Lapwing theory, and in it the top S key on the left is mapped to the number key. By default, Lapwing comes with a dictionary that lets you write numbers like this. If you want this functionality, you'll need to either switch to Lapwing theory or you can use a dictionary like this: github.com/aerickt/steno-dictionaries/blob/main/lapwing-numbers.json

I regularly use both British and American spellings myself. I have a dictionary that lets me choose with spelling I want through a few techniques. It's part of the theory I use which you can read more about here: lapwing.aerick.ca/Chapter-21.html If you use the default theory, there is also a dictionary that will just replace all American spellings with British ones.

@AerickSteno cheers mate, sounds great

lol i laughed at that too

No course. I just used free resources online like this one: lapwing.aerick.ca
