He's a native Korean speaker, so he can speak more to the relationship between steno and Hangul: http://stanographer.com<br /><br />The professional steno machines are definitely best ergonomically, but they're $4,000 to $5,000, which is way too much for amateurs. <br /><br />Ergodox and Keyboardio seem pretty good, though a bit bulky to carry around. I know several people who use the Ergodox with Plover. I think Ultimate Hacking Keyboard might be better for portability reasons, though I haven't yet tried it.<br /><br />Standard qwerty keyboard is of course the cheapest option, though it's true that the staggered columns and beveled keycaps can be a bit uncomfortable. Adding the acrylic keytoppers helps a bit. It works for some people, but I think it's best as a starter option, to get a taste of steno before committing with a more expensive device.Mirabai Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494847224950297255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-14285474741453681342015-12-09T23:30:32.441-08:002015-12-09T23:30:32.441-08:00Hello.

In qwerty keyboards, it looks difficult to press two keys simultaneosly with one finger. For example, it seems that it is awkward to press T and K simultaneously with the left ring finger. Is this problem remedied by acrylic plates sold at http://plover.deco-craft.com/shop/view_product/Laser_Cut_Steno_Keys_Kit?n=2910988 ? How about difference of key height? It would be better to remove the space bar to access thumb keys more easily. <br /><br />2. What do you think about efficiency of:<br /> -- professional steno keyboard<br /> -- modern ergonomic keyboards such that Ergodox and Keyboardio (with or without acrlyic plates attached)<br /> -- standard qwerty keyboard (with or without acrlyic plates attached)<br />for stenography?<br /><br />Korean alphabet (or hangul) is sort of "naturally stenographic", since every unit consists of initial consonant(including null consonant ㅇ)+ vowel + optional final consonant.<br /><br />Thank you in advance.lhuntrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10922478818391192826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281181286737011264.post-49245576050957981752011-10-14T20:05:17.854-07:002011-10-14T20:05:17.854-07:00Go for it, Tina!

I...I'm full of admiration for you Mirabai! <br /><br />I'd love to have you post this article on my blog (as well as link to here) if you're interested - not everyone clicks on a link. <br /><br />I think it's fantastic that you're doing something to help spread steno - it's a lifeline to many of us.Tinahttp://funnyoldlife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
