At work, in Lync (worst IM ever), email, and so forth, I just switched OSs and I'm getting alot of irritation from the spell checker.
The sheer amount of jargon that it thinks are misspellings and tries to fix is staggering. Dozens per day, at minimum.
I'm assuming all of those would require custom definition. I can't seem myself going through the hassle. And even if the job is done collectively, our department has less than 50 people in it (maybe 70 if you include the data center). It's not a big enough community for it to spread thin.
Steno seems like last century's solution to the problem, not this century's.
- Jonovono 12y agoYa, would be interesting to rethink it. Seems cool, but like the question about using it on your phone. Since steno you need two hands you can't use it on your phone (keyboards on your pockets? lol :) )
- ploversteno 12y agoThe Android app is actually pretty decent; you use it Swype-style, but rather than employing Swype's predictive method, it's 100% deterministic, so you know what you're going to get every time. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brentandjody.stenoime&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brentandjo...
- kragen 12y agoNeat! Is it proprietary, or could it be put on F-Droid? I don't use the Play Store.
- ploversteno 12y agoIt's open source, but you'd have to ask the developer to send you an apk, I think. Or compile your own, I guess: https://github.com/brentn/StenoIME https://github.com/brentn/StenoIME
- kragen 12y agoFantastic, thanks!
