I know we got a massive influx of new Plover users in the past few months, thanks in part to YouTube content by Aerick and Tokaku and the Uni v3 Kickstarter. Please fill this out when you have the chance -- this way we know where to put effort in in terms of new hardware, Plover features, and learning materials.
I've coaxed D3 into a React app so you can see pretty charts of your typing speed and steno typos over time.
With Typey Type, I aim to make features specific to steno. So while you can see your typing speed chart on any typing site, the key difference with Typey Type is that you can see your strokes along the way. It tries to identify where the word you've typed has become shorter and longer again to spot typical steno behaviour and show that as its own point on the chart. This makes it possible to see multi-stroke words in progress as well as incorrect stroke attempts. It makes a lot of guesses for this, so it's not perfect, but I hope it helps.
Word Tray is a GUI plugin that automatically looks up efficient outlines for words that start with the current input, much like autocomplete suggestions. It is heavily inspired by StenoTray, which was a widget made before Plover's plugin system was implemented.
At the bottom of most sections is a widget that randomizes sentences from the chapter and synthesizes audio for writing using meSpeak.js. There are word speed and gap controls which control both the audio of the randomized sentences and also for the individual sentences. As the minimum WPM speed is 80WPM, to slow down the rate even further, the word gap can be increased. Synthesis takes a few seconds to finish before audio starts playing. The randomized sentences are initially hidden in order to write by dictation.
