Steno Writer connecting to Plover

[Amie Ware]

I have been at this for 2 days!  Someone please help me. I used Plover with my UNI and loved it. I especially loved using Typey Type. I am now in Beginning Theory and would love to drill my briefs and phrases using Typey Type. I need to have Plover in order to run Typey Type (or that was what I was told). I have the Elan Mira A3 and cannot get it to connect to Plover. I have it as far as saying it is connected but when I use paper tape, typey type or word - there is no output. I have tried a serial port to USB plug and a USB plug, same outcome. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Plover. I use Case Cat for my Steno classes and someone had said with Case Cat you dont need Plover for Typey Type but it doesnt work that way either.  Why does Plover say connected but there is no output??

Hi! Are you using the Stenograph USB plugin? If not, try that!

Hello:

I'm not sure if the mentioned plugin, currently, works in all computers. I use Plover daily in my job and we are worried since we can use it just on an older computer. In other ones, though the machine seems to be connected with the plugin, for any reason writing is not possible.

Please see the following issue:

I use Plover on Windows 10, and I tried to connect the machine at home with Windows 11, but once again writing was not possible.

Kind regards

Hi again:

We have solved the problem with the mentioned plugin locally. The last version doesn't work for us, and the issue seems to be related to a plugin dependency.

My colleagues asked on Discord without success (seems that nobody answered).

We managed to use the plugin by copying the files contained on the older computer to the new ones, including the dependency, in case this is useful. I think that this can be fixed in the plugin.

See this issue:

Thanks
