# Brief
|
||||
|
||||
Also known as the "abbreviation", "short form", or "arbitrary". Briefs
|
||||
are simply non-phonetic mappings of steno outlines to English words or
|
||||
phrases. For instance, the phrase "from time to time" could be written
|
||||
out:
|
||||
|
||||
`FROM/TAOIM/TO/TAOIM` *(Four strokes)*
|
||||
|
||||
Or it could be briefed:
|
||||
|
||||
`FRIMT` *(One stroke)*
|
||||
|
||||
# Chord
|
||||
|
||||
The pressing down of multiple keys at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
# Dictionary
|
||||
|
||||
Used by Plover or other stenotype software. Contains all the words and
|
||||
the strokes that produce those words. While generally these are
|
||||
constructed using a steno theory, this can be freely modified by the
|
||||
stenographer.
|
||||
|
||||
# Steno Theory
|
||||
|
||||
A "system" or way of thinking that determines which steno strokes will
|
||||
match to which words. Theories range generally from being based on
|
||||
spelling (or "brief-heavy") to being based on the sound of the word (or
|
||||
"stroke-heavy"). The one included with Plover is based on NYCI theory
|
||||
which descended from StenEd.
|
||||
|
||||
# Word Boundary
|
||||
|
||||
The implicit spacing in between words. Spacing is inserted automatically
|
||||
by Plover or other steno software. As words and phrases will often sound
|
||||
similar to others, a stenographer needs to choose the stroke or brief
|
||||
appropriate for the situation with the correct word boundary.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples (Plover):
|
||||
|
||||
* "in here" ("**TPH**/HAOER") vs "insect" ("**EUPB**/SEBGT")
|
||||
* "on top of" ("**OPB**/TOP/-F") vs "onto" ("**AUPN**/TO")
|
||||
* "it is a live (wire)" ("T/S/**AEU**/HREUF") vs "it is alive" ("T/S/**A**/HRAOEUF")
