A chorded system, or ''system'' for short, is a set of rules for Plover that determines the keys, language rules, and default dictionaries in Plover. '''System Plugins''' allow Plover to support different machine types and languages other than English.
A chorded system, or _system_ for short, is a set of rules for Plover that determines the keys, language rules, and default dictionaries in Plover. **System Plugins** allow Plover to support different machine types and languages other than English.


The [American Ward Stone Ireland Stenotype](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenotype) is the default layout in Plover, and what we teach and recommend by default. However, there are many different chorded systems worldwide and some of them have been implemented in Plover.

Note that not all of these systems have been fully implemented; many of them are probably not going to be implemented in Plover, but they have been listed so that you may use them as a reference should you choose to create your own layout/system.

The [Possum Palantype](http://www.openstenoproject.org/palantype) is a system invented in the UK which was optimized to have readable shorthand notes (the untranslated output). It has more keys than the Ireland layout. It is still used by some [STTRs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech-to-text_reporter) worldwide for writing in English.

Yawei is the most commonly used Chinese stenotype system - it is widely used in Mainland China and Taiwan and uses Pinyin without tones as its main way of inputing characters; learners are required to memorize the positions of homophones based on their position in a frequency-based selection menu for fast character entry.

Japanese steno system created to fix all the downsides of Sokutaipu and introduce an intuitive Kanji input system. The system is symmetrical and each side is capable of inputting a full on'yomi; the layout is designed to keep as many keys from the English layout in the same position as possible whilst also maintaining compatibility with as many hobbyist keyboards as possible.

Revision as of 17:37, 11 February 2024

A chorded system, or system for short, is a set of rules for Plover that determines the keys, language rules, and default dictionaries in Plover. System Plugins allow Plover to support different machine types and languages other than English.

The American Ward Stone Ireland Stenotype is the default layout in Plover, and what we teach and recommend by default. However, there are many different chorded systems worldwide and some of them have been implemented in Plover.

Note that not all of these systems have been fully implemented; many of them are probably not going to be implemented in Plover, but they have been listed so that you may use them as a reference should you choose to create your own layout/system.

For systems proposed for implementation, check out the issues list.

🔴 Not supported in Plover
🟠 Work in progress, not actively updated or maintained
🟡 Work in progress
🟢 Stable and available for Plover

Languages

Stenotype (Ireland)

The default system in Plover. Used internationally for English-language transcription, invented in the United States in 1913.

A Japanese steno system created for the Georgi machine; the layout is symmetrical to allow the user to type one kanji on'yomi on each side. This system also addresses the problem of inaccurate kanji conversions in existing systems by introducing a way for users to directly input kanji using a structure-based system where most common kanji can be entered in just one stroke.

This is the updated version of the Japanese layout available on TypeyType.

Hachidori

Japanese steno system created to fix all the downsides of Sokutaipu and introduce an intuitive Kanji input system. The system is symmetrical and each side is capable of inputting a full on'yomi; the layout is designed to keep as many keys from the English layout in the same position as possible whilst also maintaining compatibility with as many hobbyist keyboards as possible.
