Re: Anybody here interested in Stenography?
I just got more information. Evidently, the list I gave you corresponds to the columns of a steno paper. It's like putting those letters on top of the Braille paper. You punch the letters below each column so they line up properly.
The row below the number bar for the left hand is s, t, p and H.
The row below that for the left hand is s, k, w, r. Notice how the s key is present on both rows.
Then we have the asterisk key.
The vowel keys are a, e, o, and u.
On the right hand we have f, p, l, t and d.
On the row below that for the right hand we have r, b, g, s, z.
Now get ready to learn some combos.

This is just a basic list of combination most commonly used by stenographers, but theories can change, and each chord can be customised according to the computer-aided translation dictionary being used.
A key combination can stand for different things depending on whether it appears on the initial side of the syllable or the final. In example, you would write
e for the eh sound, k for the K sound, s for the z sound, a for the short a sound, pl for the final M, and p for the p sound, and l for the ending sound.
eksaplpl NOtice how the combination p and L repeat. The first PL stands for the
final M, but the second one stands for the ending consonants of the word. This would require you to make two separate strokes, since you can't hit PL twice without letting go first.
Sometimes, the initial Z is commonly chorded by pressing all the keys of the left hand to avoid thousands of possible conflicts.
Also, if a word has more than two syllables, it is more common to use the initial consonants for the first half of the word and then use the ending consonants towards the second half of the word.
