3D Printed Lever Machine!!!

Noelle writes:

Hi everyone, recently I've been trying to get better at CAD and such by playing around with making a design for a lever machine, and I finally took what I have so far and printed and built a full machine out. I ended up with something pretty similar to the design in the lever machine thread, the main differences being a metal instead of 3D printed axle, and I put the magnets closer to the keys instead of all being at the back of the machine, which helps keep everything less wobbly. I've never touched a real lever machine in my life so I have no idea how well this actually replicates the feel, and it's missing some features like adjustable weight (and it's also like half held together with tape lol). But at least it writes pretty reliably.

Anna Sohn's Steno Videos

I just discovered Anna Sohn's YouTube Channel. I haven't watched all of her steno videos, but she's a court reporting student in a formal steno program who also uses a Starboard with Javelin, which makes me very happy. When I was in steno school, open steno didn't exist, and there weren't a lot of people who wanted to nerd out about the potential of spreading steno to learners who didn't necessarily want to become professionals, which made me kind of lonely. It's great to see someone with a foot in both sides of the steno world. I hope she keeps making more videos!

Plover 1Password Plugin

I don't use 1Password, but if you do, you should check out Paul Fioravanti's Plover Plugin! Especially if you've completely replaced your keyboard with a steno machine -- in which case, I salute you!

Vietnamese Steno!

Plover Discord member huynhtrankhanh has made a steno theory for Vietnamese! Also an innovative steno system that runs on two phones! Very cool stuff!!
