Yeah but you are not going to get the speeds they boast about without steno.

I'm not the one you responded to, but I just wanted to add that it's still not steno. CharaChorder just has chording, but no theories, or whatever you call them for steno. You basically have to memorize every single chord on the CharaChorder afaik.

Ah thanks for clarifying.

I had thought that chording to produce a words was enough to qualify as steno.

Happy to be corrected :)
