  StudySteno is under intermittent active development and is anticipated to go live when Real Life gives me time to focus on this project again.
  You shouldn't have found your way here, but since you did, feel free to look around and play with things. Just be aware that everything is changing all the time, there is a lot of "placeholder" content, and everything is an ongoing work in progress. Hopefully, I'll be able to focus on this project again sometime in 2024.

  There are as many ways to learn steno as there are stars in the sky (okay, maybe not that many). While most approaches to learning machine stenography have quite a few elements in common - as does StudySteno - we do approach some elements of learning steno a bit differently. Here, we explain our approach and why we chose to do what we do how we do it.

  As is often said, steno is writing phonetically; that is, writing based on how a word sounds. However, there are many ways to pronounce English (and most all languages). discussions about the "right" (hah!) way to stroke a word, "correct" (ugh) pronunciations, accents and lexical stress, dialects, cadence, tempo and more sometimes leads to conflict and offense. Language and culture are so deeply intertwined, it's a real challenge to discuss with sensitivity. This is my humble attempt to aid you in better understanding the interplay between pronunciations and the steno dictionary. Hopefully, I manage to not offend anyone.

This first section may seem a bit overwhelming at first, as we are introducing most of the key concepts of writing in steno through the use of a small number of keys. Your brain may actually hurt a bit Take your time as you go through this knowing that the more you understand here, the easier it will be to learn everything else as you go through the rest of this course!

  Here we learn the letters that use just one key on both sides (S-S, P-P, R-R, T-T). We also introduce a few simple briefs, phrases and command key strokes along with touching on the concept of consonant clusters.

Interlude
Before we dig into the remaining long vowel sounds and dig deep into the absolute craziness of soundalike words in English, let's take a break and review what we've gone over so far. In this section, we'll also cover prefixes, suffixes, punctuation, command keys, briefs, and phrases that we've not covered previously (most of which you've either already figured out on your own and some was covered in prior "Explore More" sections). This section is broken down into focus areas to better enable you to spend time on the areas you feel less comfortable with. How long you spend on this section is entirely up to you, but I do recommend at least skimming over the sections you feel very comfortable with.
