User theories are full or partial open source stenographic theories developed by members of the community and shared with the community for free. Authors typically share dictionaries that correspond with the theory that the community can use by adding them to Plover.
Some user theories are modifications of existing theories which have evolved far enough to be labeled as a new theory, and some cover only one aspect of stenography (e.g. number input, phrasing, or fingerspelling). Many of them are works in progress.
This page includes an abbreviated list of published user theories commonly discussed by the community. To add one to the list, we recommend it being a thoroughly developed, unique idea, and published for the benefit of the community. If adding to the list, please also create a corresponding theory page.
