Hi All.

Another free-to-distribute dictionary. This time StenoMaster.

As I mentioned before, they don't allow you to distribute the RTF dictionary files so anyone who wanted to "play" with StenoMaster theory in Plover would have to pay to obtain their own dictionary file before knowing whether they liked it or not.

This is clearly not what Plover is about. Its about freeing stenography!

So in the spirit of Plover and with thanks to a generous benefactor I have produced a StenoMaster dictionary file which is in Plover's dictionary format. Anyone who wants to try StenoMaster can download, distribute and tinker with this file to their heart's content.

If anyone finds any problems with the file, let me know and I will update it.

I'm very keen to give the community more dictionaries like this so if anyone has any RTF or CTE dictionaries for other theories, let me know (mig...@gmail.com).

Let's spread the theories!

Hello, Mike,

This is Mark Kislingbury.  I would request that you take down any links that distribute the StenoMaster Theory or Magnum Steno theories.  Those dictionaries are copyrighted and people are allowed an RTF of the dictionary only if they purchased The StenoMaster Theory book or the Magnum Steno book.  Please refrain from distributing StenoMaster or Magnum Steno dictionaries because they remain my intellectual property and are protected by US copyright laws.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark Kislingbury

Hi Mark.

No problems. Dictionary taken down, although it is a shame that people won't get to try before they buy.

I hope its clear that my reasons for doing this weren't out of spite or hate, but out of excitement and enthusiasm for Steno and the theory itself.

I'd like to contact you requesting permission for something I am planning for my site qwertysteno.com. On which email address can I reach you?

Thanks

-Mike-
