Plover: Open Source Stenography Software
Stenography expertise, original concept, feature design, and testing
by Mirabai Knight. Code and technical design by Joshua Harlan
Lifton. Additional code contributions by Hesky Fisher.
Supported stenotype machines:
* Microsoft SideWinder X4 keyboard
* Gemini PR stenography machine
* Stentura Protege, Cybra, and Fusion stenography machines
Contact the authors if you would like Plover to support your stenotype
machine.
WARNING
Plover is not mature software. Once running, it will interpret all
keystrokes according to the stenography dictionary you provide. Be
careful what you type. When using the Sidewinder or any other normal
keyboard with Plover, your normal keyboard shortcuts may not work. Use
the mouse or stop the Plover program if you are unsure of what will
result from typing.
INSTALLATION
These installation notes are for Debian-like Linux systems. From the
directory in which this README file is located, run the following
commands:
sudo apt-get install python-xlib python-serial python-wxgtk2.8 python-lockfile
sudo python setup.py install
RUNNING PLOVER
After installation is complete as above, the Plover application will
be available from the command-line and as an icon in the application
list. Starting the application will bring up a small window with a red
'P' icon. At this point, Plover is inactive. To activate Plover,
click the red 'P' icon. The icon will turn green to indicate that
Plover is active and ready to translate stenography keystrokes into
English text. Clicking the green icon will cause it to turn red, which
means Plover is again in the inactive state.
