iStenoPad

An iPad stenography practice keyboard with dictionary import and on-screen translation.

Our take

Consider for practice beside established training

Customizable keys and stroke-rate display support a focused repeated exercise.

Keep in mind: Touchscreen feel differs from a physical writer. Translation accuracy and RTF-CRE compatibility need checking with the actual dictionary.

What you can do

  • Enter steno chords on screen
  • Import eligible dictionaries
  • Review translated text and speed
  • Save notes or email supported output

Good for

  • Students who understand their steno theory and keep dictionary backups.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting certified court-reporting output or hardware-equivalent tactile response.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 9.3.
  • Touchscreen feel differs from a physical writer. Translation accuracy and RTF-CRE compatibility need checking with the actual dictionary.
