It sure seems like a cool accessibility tool, but he spent the whole time taking about why he did it, and magnets, that it glosses over the “how does it work?” Part that really matters. It’s not just a keyboard, so I’m sure there’s more to it. I’m hoping he has other videos that explain the concept.
Yeah but it’s a different type of steno machine. You can also just type on it without using chords. So you can use it in applications where a steno machine wouldn’t work. Like in programming.

The channel has videos explaining how the keyboard works

I checked out the website and the basic principle is that you can type words with “chords” or a specific combination of keys. The wikipedia page for Chorded keyboard has their product as an example on it.

So he reinvented stenography?

I guess that’s why he’s more focused on the magnets and such since that’s where the innovation lies.
A steno machine is just a kind of chorded keyboard.
yep, and the debates got so heated in the plover server that the channel for it got taken away lmao
