How to Use

Part 1: Selecting Text

Get a word list or article to scan for vocabulary.
Paste your text into the dictionary builder.
For building up with word lists or phrases, you can select
“Treat each line as one translation”.
Select whether you’d like to see words that are already defined
in your dictionary. If you only want to see new words, leave this unchecked.
Apply a text transformation if you’d like to avoid being case-sensitive or
must work in all caps.
Click “Start Building”.



Part 2: Building
See the various parts of the builder:


Progress indicator
Entry definer:

Dictionary: the dictionary that the next stroke will go into on “Add”.
Strokes: Your steno machine will write with raw steno into the strokes box. This is how you will define your desired strokes.
Translation: auto-filled as you go through words, but can be edited if needed.


What’s in your dictionary:

The first box contains what your current steno maps to in your dictionaries.
The second box shows you how it’s currently possible to write the target word.
Both these boxes update as you create new strokes.


The word order. You can tackle words from your text in several orders, which should help with different kinds of texts you might be working on. The options are:

Frequency: most frequently used words in the text appear first.
Order of Appearance: unique words in the order that they appear in the text.
Alphabetical: unique words sorted alphabetically.


The word list. The selected word is the current one being defined. You can clicked on any word to jump to it.
The controls:

Back to Input: stop building and go back to the text-entry

Keyboard shortcut: Escape, close button, or Ctrl W


Previous: change “Translation” to previous word

Keyboard shortcut: Up


Next: change “Translation” to next word

Keyboard shortcut: Down


Undo: remove the last definition you made

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl Z (you might need to make sure you aren’t in a text box for this shortcut to activate)

All changes you make in the dictionary builder are saved automatically as you go.
