Differences between StenoTray, training tools, and suggestions window.

StenoTray

  • doesn't handle prefixes/suffixes well
  • predicts what you are trying to type (kat would show cat, cation, catacism, etc.
  • Runs quite slowly, lagging behind about a second or two depending on your PC

Suggestions Window

  • Takes what you type, literally, and returns all the shortest strokes.
  • Returns prefixes
  • Is very quick
  • Doesn't predict (lookahead) --> easier to understand as a user.

Training Tools

  • There's a brief helper, which will periodically save brief suggestions for words you typed. Type a text >> at the end you have a couple brief hints.
  • There's also a tool similar to StenoTray, but I didn't find it too useful when I tried it last (about 6 months ago so memory isn't great)
