It aims to bring stenography to anyone for free.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStenography is a form of shorthand writing/typing that can achieve speeds of over 200 words per minute. Unlike typing, where you usually press one key down at a time to output a single character at a time, machine stenography involves pressing multiple keys down at a time to produce a syllable, word, phrase or more. This allows people to write text at much higher speeds, such as for transcription or captioning. People also use stenography for writing, programming, and day-to-day computer use.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n","created_at":"2024-07-29T13:53:50.520Z","updated_at":"2026-05-09T00:25:22.862Z","topic_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/topics/plover","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/topics/plover","projects_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects?keyword=plover","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/lists?topic=plover"}
