Which dictionary is plover based on?

[Breanne Petre]

I started using plover late last year as a student fresh out of theory. I gave up early on converting my dictionary from DigitalCAT and adapted to the plover dictionary instead.

Now it's like six months later and I LOVE it. It's way better than my theory dictionary, smarter and more intuitive. Now I want to import the ploverdict into DigitalCAT.

Is this possible? Or is it based upon a specific theory dictionary I can just get from DigitalCAT?

(Apologies if this has been covered previously. All search results only yielded importing INTO plover and not the other way around!)

Hi Breanne,

Please find attached plover's default dictionary in RTF/CRE format, which DIgitalCAT should be able to read.

If you've made changes to plover's dictionary and want to include those changes then please send me the file and I will convert it for you.

Reading this, could I possibly view in text format the Student
Dictionaries in the Stenovations' Download section? This is just so I
can have a resource material on Philly Clinic theory.

The DigitalCAT student dictionary downloads are DCT files,
DigitalCAT's proprietary format, so you'll have to open it in
DigitalCAT, export it in rtf/cre format, and then either view it with
something like Vim (which will show you all the markup, unlike Word,
which will just show you all the words squashed together without
markup or spaces), or get it converted into JSON format, if you want
to use it with Plover.

Incidentally, the Plover dictionary is a synthesis of NYCI and StenEd
theory, with a few tens of thousands of my own additions sprinkled in.
It's basically just a direct export of my own personal working
dictionary, after six years of CART and two years of offline
captioning.
