Also, that sounds like a lot of work. (';<br /><br />"And, since digital CAT is free, can it work with Plover?"<br /><br />Plover and DigitalCAT do essentially the same thing (translate steno code into English text), so I don't know what you mean by 'work with Plover'. But DigitalCAT isn't free; if you can prove that you're enrolled in steno school they'll give you a temporary student license without charging you for it, but the capabilities of the software are truly limited, and it's certainly not free in the sense that Plover is, in that all the code is online and able to be downloaded, distributed, and modified by anyone for any purpose.<br /><br />"P.S. Would the old SmartWriter work with Plover and realtime?"<br /><br />I believe some people have managed to get a Smartwriter working with Plover, yes. (':<br /><br />"The Court Reporting schools must be having a collective heart attack right now!"<br /><br />Why? We're just opening up a huge swath of potential new business! Music Conservatories haven't gone under just because you can buy a "teach yourself guitar" book. Art schools haven't stopped offering MFAs in Photography just because everyone has a camera in their smartphone. The amateur/hobbyist base of any skill has to be large and flourishing enough to support the emergence of a solid core of professionals!Mirabai Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494847224950297255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-42985597401373962532014-09-05T13:54:16.309-07:002014-09-05T13:54:16.309-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328817373201223275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-26542799155198497942014-09-05T13:49:50.720-07:002014-09-05T13:49:50.720-07:00Can you use Plover with a manual steno machine and...Can you use Plover with a manual steno machine and somehow hook it up to your CAT software?
